Tri-Booting With Grub
I couldn’t help it, I love linux, I love OpenBSD (freebsd is teh suck, more on that in an editorial ) and I need to have windows if I want to run FL Studio (yeah it’s great). I found this article to be quite helpful. Specifically the portion about OpenBSD.

OpenVPN 2.0 & OpenBSD
Found a link to a nice article / howto about configuring OpenVPN 2.0 on OpenBSD. It’s quite complete, taking you from the beginning stages to testing. A worthwhile read if you’ve been trying to get something like this accomplished, or plan on working with OpenVPN in the future.

Serpico
“Ready on the left… Ready on the right… Ready on the firing line!” Serpico is such a great movie! That quote is from a scene in a firing range (duh) where Serpico was gettin some practice. It’s also been sampled in tons of songs, one of which being “Can I Get Open?” by Original Flava (featuring Jay Z in his younger days). Feels good to know where that sample came from. Other highlights include tons of shots of real nyc in the 70’s, from places like Astoria Park, and west 14th Street in Manhattan. You didn’t think I was gonna tell you anything about the movie did you? 
Just see it! Ok fine Al Pacino is the only clean cop in a corrupt force, but that’s all I’m telling you.
