My own take on this would probably be technological; I’d very likely drop something like Ubuntu CDs in pretty packaging, for the sake of spreading usage of the OS; or even something like The Open CD (even though it’s no longer in active development), for incurable Windows users. In any case, enjoy (and include me on any good ideas… the Contact page is a great place for this)!

Hello world!

Ah, the old standby:

“Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”

… I just didn’t have the heart to delete it, so here it is. Hopefully I have posted or will post more here, but as of right now, that (see above) is all I’ve got.

Enjoy!
