Big Red Bus
“Hi guys, don’t forget to donate today!” says the lady with the oneblood.org t-shirt. The Big Red Bus parks on campus often, sometimes they seem to be here every day. “We’ll give you a t-shirt and a cookie!” She says. That’s the price of your donation, but is it?
A typical pint of blood costs $130-150, and sometimes [even more](http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-04-05/news/os-blood-cost-anne-chinoda-201 … ⌘ Read more

If you use GPG to occasionally encrypt and/or sign your email, or to encrypt your files before placing them on the cloud, you will understand how important it is to have a backup of your GPG keys. Similarly important will be to know how to restore them as well.
To back your private, and public keys, as well as your trust database, you will do1:

Using Atom
I have used many editors in the past, either under Windows or OS X. Too many, I have really lost the count. The last one I used was Sublime Text. Great editor, cross platform too, but pricey. Each time I would get the nag, I would feel guilty for not buying me a licensed copy.
I tried Atom when it first came out. It was buggy and slow, really, really slow. Not anymore. I am using version 1.0.9 now, and it is a joy. So fast, so customizable, so complete, … ⌘ Read more

The joy of reading Hemingway
Recently, Kent had the misfortune of picking “ A Moveable Feast”, by Ernest Hemingway, for a school assignment. I know I am not the right person1 to judge anyone’s writing style, I am simply recollecting the comments Kent has made while reading the book.
So far, other than finding the book boring — mind it, he is barely 13 — he is puzzled at the use of French terms that he … ⌘ Read more
A Christmas tree small story
Last year we had a plastic Christmas tree. Wife was not happy. This year she wanted a real one, so this morning the child and I went on the quest of getting it. Most families in the States will get a Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving, but I am used to get it the day before Christmas. Of course, if I wait for that day there will be none left. So it is today, or never1.
We purchased one, which is already soaking … ⌘ Read more

U.S. credit rating lowered
It seems our credit “worthiness” (and hence our capabilities to acquired
loans in the future) has diminished:
S&P maintained its ‘AAA/A-1+’ credit rating on U.S. sovereign debt,
saying the nation’s “highly diversified” economy and “effective monetary
policies” have helped support growth.But the ratings agency lowered its outlook for America’s long-term
