I Found Bear Grylls

I found Bear Grylls today. And he was right where he belonged.
Searching for Bear Grylls

Help Me Cure Cancer

I have joined the Team in Training program of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to raise money for blood cancer research.
Cancer is a killer. Cancer doesn’t try to maim or injure, it only wants to kill. We fight cancer with powerful poisons: chemicals and radiation, that seek to eradicate this killer. Sometimes they [...]

Where Is Bear Grylls?

UK’s Channel 4 [...]

I need to get in better shape, because I plan to walk 13 miles in January, to raise money for
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Bruiser is [...]

Wiping Out Windows

Welcome to the first post from my rejuvenated laptop. I overhauled my IBM Thinkpad T40p (model 2373G1U) and it is now working better than ever. I replaced my old dual-boot system, which let me choose between using Windows XP, and Novell Linux Desktop 9, with Novell Enterprise Linux Desktop. I was afraid that my [...]
