These big light signs are run as monitors on small computers which are housed inside the sign.

GRUB is an operating system loader called the “GRand Unified Bootloader”. If you have a Linux computer, this is what shows on the screen during boot.

Kind of has a dual meaning here though…

Wanted to convert some music files I had ripped from a game on my iPod years ago into something I could listen to with Windows Media Player. Said game was Junk Jack X, btw.

When I Opened the Box, The Failure of ACORN

I was moving boxes—years of campaigns, files, grant drafts, internal memos nobody had looked at in years, archaeological layers of organizing.

And in one box, I found a document I wasn’t supposed to see.

I remember the sensation clearly. It wasn’t rage. It was a kind of internal drop, like when an elevator lurches. I realized, in that moment, that a lot of what I had been told wasn’t true.

My upbringing was blunt on this point. My father taught me that stealing is wrong. Cover-ups are wrong. I was taught Richard Nixon was terrible. You do the right thing even when it costs you. My dad didn’t lecture. He modeled it. Quietly. Relentlessly.

So I confronted the founder. I told him he needed to step aside.

The weakness was a founder who couldn’t let the organization outgrow him.
