Why you will soon have your own show
Now I know why wacky JustinRyan and others promote your videos and want to be in Tahiti with Puddin' Pops. Good going.
What about the Buntu generations
Seeing the title I was expecting a zoo defile of:
Breezy Badger
Dapper Drake
Edgy Eft
Feisty Fawn
Gusty Gibon
Hardy Heron
That's a a lot more painful video to make :)
Waaaaay tooo much!
Someone has waaaaay tooo much time on their hands. I really loved Carlie's clip - not only does it cut your hair, it appears to reallocate the spare hair to your chest. Gotta get one of those!
P.
Paul Barry
Buntu Barber?
I withhold *nix "Yeah!" till Shawn Powers can at least better Bill Gates' $6 haircut.
;-)
Flowbee
I say we all pitch in a buck and buy Shawn a Flowbee. Sorry, Shawn but the readers speak...
;)
Carlie Fairchild is the publisher of Linux Journal.
You laugh...
You laugh, Ms. Fairchild -- but I've bid on a Flowbee in the past on eBay. :) I've wanted one since I saw the "Suck and Cut" on Wayne's World!

I guess depends on your version of "better" -- since I haven't paid for a haircut for the better part of a decade, I think mine is better. heehhe
(And if it wouldn't freak my wife out too much, I'd probably shave my head bald, for simplicity's sake!)

Tales of the Blode
Shawn, your voice-overs remind me eerily of the Tales of the Blode http://www.rathergood.com
I Like the Moon!!!!
Man I love that video they do with the Sponge Monkeys. (I even blogged about it, which may be a bit obsessive!)

I too like the moon.
I too like the moon. But I like Iggy Pop and the Ocelot Shop better. Aren't you in Holly, MI, or someplace near there? Close to Iggy's home territory.
Ubuntu family
I have been following your clips for about a year now. I am a great fan. Nice job on the "buntu" family comparo.
Thanks!
My wife's response to the video was rolling her eyes, but I think deep down she liked it too. :)

Two Things
First, you're friggin' insane (but I don't mean no disrespect...).
Secondly, and more importantly, I thought Ubuntu 8.04 put WAY too much emphasis on releasing on time and not enough on fixing what should have been critical bugs. I'm not sure if the six-month release cycle is wearing them down or not, but something's going on over there in the castle, and it smells like bad poultry.
Still, things are better than they used to be, eh?
Proud Linux user since 1997
Agree, and Agree
Things in the Linux world are indeed nicer than they used to be. Most stuff does "just work" now. I really like things to work.
One of the disappointments I had with the 8.04 release was Firefox 3. I just don't think it was (or quite is) ready. It might be flash that is the culprit, but FF3 in Hardy Heron crashes for me all the time. Like, 5-10 times a day.
Oh, and as to my sanity, well, you may have a point. :D
