Chasing Nuts

Being the wild crazy guy I am I was up this morning at 7AM which is pretty much my usual time to wake up. Matt really wanted to pick up a Nintendo Wii so I went over with him Target to pick one up. When we got to Target there was alredy 200 people in line and we thought maybe we missed out. Then after a few minutes a person from Target came walking buy hanging out tickets. Seemes they had about 215 and we made it. To be honest I do not really want one but I went ahead and picked one up because I have a friend who wants one very bad. Now if only he would wake up so I could tell him I need to deliver his Wii to him tomorrow, and he ows me a check.

I have to hand it to target they had a great system. Once we had the ticket it was guaranteed until noon and we could go. It worked out well cause Matt and I badly needed some coffee and breakfast.

Most the tech readers of this blog will see the title and assume this is about Ubuntu Linux.???? I am a fan but this is about the word more then the software that runs on computers.

I was listening to ???????The World??????? (http://www.theworld.org/) on NPR the other week driving some place and there was a great story titled: Africa report, not a great title but read the summary:

Former President Bill Clinton last month urged British politicians to adopt the South African philosophy of interdependence, called “ubuntu”. Reporter Amy Costello explains the tradition.

Listen to the report (4:10)

I think in after this much heated political season we would all be helped if the people in Washington worked to adopt this philosophy. Come to think of it, I think just about everyone would be helped if more people adopted this philosophy.
