Ken Starks lucky break didn’t show up in the way most people hope for. He owned a pressure washing business in Texas and a major accident led to the start of a technology project that would change the lives of children living in the hill country of Texas. Ken’s project, named Reglue, has now provided Linux computers to over a thousand disadvantaged kids. Reglue has also created learning centers throughout East Austin that teach computer skills and help with online job search tools.

And the strangest thing…they HATE to brush their teeth.

Hence, fluffybunny 2987 was born. No, that wasn’t mine it was, um, a friends username…
Based on the information we were given at the time we just knew there were bad people on the other end of that internet connection…just waiting to get us! We were warned constantly about the dangers of talking to “strangers” online.
