Happy Birthday Joel!

Posted on 04 April 2009 by


Today is International Pillow Fight Day, and it is also the day that our own Linux geek gorkon, Joel McLaughlin, celebrates his birthday!

No sacking him with a pillow, okay?! ;-)

Happy Birthday Joel!

Please join me in wishing Joel a very Happy Birthday! :-D

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford

    I know it’s still early in the day so I will have to come back here, but thanks for the wishes. As for tech gadgets, I did get some! I got a PSP from my Wife and Judie gave me a really good present too! :-D

    I love writing here and I am so so blessed to have the opportunity to write here. Thank you all.

    Joel have a great day — and remember there are lots of things worse than turning another day older. Just none come to mind now.

    Made it to DC. Thanks for all the well wishes! It was a long day. Got to spend sometime with my cousin and ate at the Cadillac Ranch right across the street from the Gaylord National. Ate Mac and Cheese with Blue Crab and Mushrooms! YUM! The bad part was the wait….we waited 2 freakin hours for a table!
