Evelyn Isabelle Sweeny was born on 31 May 2015 at the very easy to remember 2:22PM. She weighed 6lb, 15oz and was 19.5 inches long.

We’re home from the hospital today and apart from the usual lack of sleep we couldn’t be happier.

Ubuntu 14.10

I’m at a sprint in Washington, DC with my fellow Canonicalers gearing up for the commercial release of our phone OS (more on that later) but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about the desktop and cloud.

Yesterday was another Ubuntu release day! We released Ubuntu 14.10, codenamed the Utopic Unicorn. Look for lots of subtle improvements to the desktop as we prepare some big things to come soon.

As usual, you can take a tour or go straight to the download page.

And while we’re at it, here’s to another 10 years of Ubuntu!

On Saturday as Emily and I were visiting one of her childhood friends in Ferndale, MI (and a nasty batch of food poisoning was gestating in my gut unbeknownst to me) we stopped in a little record shop called “Found Sound” because it looked cool and I had a thought to replace the warped copy of Ziggy Stardust that I’d inherited from my parents. No such luck, but I did find something literally almost as good:

The Spiders From Mars
Found at Found Sound

It turns out that David Bowie’s actual backing band from that album released another album on their own before calling it quits. The best part is, it was only a dollar and it’s actually pretty good. Still looking to replace that copy of Ziggy though…
