If you find yourself needing to recover your root password under OS X — and your OS X installer disks are in storage in some far flung part of the country — this guide will come in very handy. The wonders of single user mode never cease to amaze me.

Here are my new year’s resolutions, better late than never and put on display to keep me honest.

1) Lose 25 more pounds. I’ve managed to keep the 100 off from over the past year, which is great. Looking to capitolize on that.

2) Drive more, ride along less. In my work, in my relationships, everywhere.

3) Finish the damn record. There are 9 good songs done, with three more in early stages. Once its mastered I’ll consider it “done”.

4) Always have four digits in the bank. All the traveling makes it kind of tough, and living by your wits is fun, but seriously.

5) Start painting again. I can feel it brewing but all my supplies are in storage. Got to get one piece done to know where I stand.

Well, I celebrated the new year much like I assume our “sober” president did: by getting drunk and falling down. Despite the bruise on my ass (and a matching one on my pride) I had a blast with the DC indie rock/blogger mafia. I think I had forgotten how much fun you can have here. There are only a few days left to spend with S before the waiting for April starts. But if the last week has been any indication that will be like falling off a log, too.
So welcome everyone to the future. If you’re wondering where your jetpack is, well, the line to find out what the hold up is forms behind me.
