Well-made video about the Texas Ramp project... shows you why I am so passionate about it.

What is a ramp?

A DallasRamps team leader calls what I refer to (by default) as a "wheelchair ramp" by another name.

It is a "wooden structure with ramp-like qualities".

Some of the clients for whom we build ramps do not use a wheelchair. Some are marginally ambulatory, but ambulatory nonetheless, and just have difficulty with steps. So they don't need a "wheelchair ramp".

1000 text messages

I made the mistake this week of tweaking Twitter to "track Ubuntu", which means that any time someone mentions "Ubuntu" in a message within Twitter that I will get that message on my cell phone.

1000 instant messages all within the same day the new Ubuntu release (8.04) was "published".

Doh!

I like to ask people to wave when I take their picture; stole the idea from an article in MAKE magazine. People find it hard *not* to smile when they wave. Try it now.

One moment touched me on this day. The woman in the picture, Evelyn, was so happy with the ramp that she gathered us into a circle and prayed, thanking God.
