Ohio…

I saw on the news where they think the big blackout started somewhere near Cleveland. Now, as any good Ohio resident can tell you, Cleveland fully deserved it’s nickname (the mistake on the lake) long before this event occurred, but it somehow does seem fitting, doesn’t it?

BTW, some of the reasons Cleveland is known as the mistake on the lake? Well there was the time the river caught fire, not to mention the fact that the city was, supposedly, named after someone named Cleaveland, so it’s even spelled incorrectly! We won’t even get into the rich, mistake prone, sports history of the town either…. 😉

    This is mostly a note to myself, and anyone else who finds themselves in a similar predicament in the future. I downloaded my first ebook from the library since buying a new laptop this weekend.

    LindowsCD

    Looks like Lindows has released a bootable CD version. They’re charging $29.95 for the CD’s. Funny thing is, this seems an awful lot like Knoppix, and that didn’t cost me anything to download. 🙂 So, is there any major difference between the two, all you Linux experts?
