Hello Mrs. Druckman!
I love the site! It is great to see others who are passionate about Linux. I just wanted to share a GNU/Linux petition with you that has gone viral on Reddit.com. We are hoping to get 250,000 signatures by Feb 28th,2011. I dont know how powerful you are in the industry, but i figured that it couldnt hurt to share it with you and hope for a miracle. Here is the petition:
https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/lower-national-debt-expanding-governments-use-free-software-such-gnulinux-and-libreoffice/jkLbwPDC

Can you imagine the looks on the faces at the White House if they see a Linux petition with 250,000 signatures???????

Comment on Texas Chili – No Beans! by Some Texas

Way I was raised, and the way I like things, beans are used as a side dish to a bowl of chili, same as rice and cornbread are. Beans don’t go IN the chili. My recipe’s pretty close to Wick Fowler’s and I often make barbecue beans to go as a side dish.

The way I look at it, sticking beans in chili because you planned to eat both in the same meal makes about as much sense as putting your meatloaf and mashed potatoes in a blender because you were having meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner.

This is an outdated response of course, but since I came across it, I couldn’t help but chime in that I am ALSO a Texan through and through, and the word chili con carne is being abused here. When you eat a hamburger, is it defined only by the condiments you put on it? Is a hamburger without pickles a “breaded meat patty”? Chili, is yes, chili con carne, loosely translated as spicy meat. But no one eats it as spicy meat only. They put stuff into it, and therefore it is best thought of as a concoction; like a hamburger. WHATEVER you want to add to your stewed spicy meat, beans or not, is fair game. My personal brand of Texas chili that EVERYONE loves and I’m asked to make it on a monthly basis for someone, has both red and black beans cooked into it. I won’t give away all my recipe, but try putting a tablespoon of mustard in the pot. Gives the flavor an extra dimension.

MSG in Chili??? Are you crazy? MSG is a poison! Check out what it does to people. If you suffer from migraines, there’s a good chance it comes form eating MSG, not to mention what it does to your insides!!

I have a really easy recipe. What you do is get a can of chili that is bean-free and the needed crackers. Put the contents of the can into a bowl and add chili powder to torch your taste buds. Nuke it in a microwave, and once done, add in busted up crackers. Enjoy. It’s a nice case of “keep it simple, stupid”.

They do have some really great non-alcoholic drinks. You get some of the tastiness of a cocktail without getting boozed up. I think the ginger kicker is the one I like. I am determined to make something reasonably close to their prickly pear michelada too. I’m wondering how it would be with a non-alcoholic beer. I understand there are some that aren’t bad, although I am skeptical.

Yelapa’s drinks really are amazing. I’ve only had the opportunity to partake in some of the non-alcoholic ones at lunch time and can only imagine how yummy the more, err, liberated ones are. Blackberry mojitos? Hell yeah.

Comment on Upcoming: Texas Linux Fest and DrupalCon San Francisco by Carlie

DrupalCon has grown so incredibly over the past few years. Kudos to the organizers for getting as far as they have with it — I know it’s organized rather organically so it’s amazing to me it manages to happen at all each year, let alone so successfully.

Go get some of this while they have it. It is amazing! It’s amazing enough for me to actually write a post about it, which is a rare occurrence these days.
