  1. Best Buy claims installing Linux voids netbook warranty: http://cli.gs/ETv9RU. Customer service EPIC FAIL!
  2. CBC movie critic describes "Avatar" soldier as residing in a "hyperbolic chamber." Epic Freudian.
  3. Weekend project: Embinux's Android Eclair on the BeagleBoard. Need life. Must. Get. Life.
  4. Android phone? Maybe wait until Q1 2010 and get a Droid thru Telus: http://cli.gs/tZL0RP. Thoughts? Yes, I'm indecisive. No, I'm not.
  5. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
  6. @mjasay I only want MS "weakened" to the point where they're forced to play nice with the rest of us. On the same playing field.
  7. @markstahler HTC Hero not released in Canada yet, according to Rogers. Bummer.
  8. We are awash in cool ARM-based Linux dev kits. An absolute embarrassment of riches. Daddy needs a new toy. :-)
  9. @Knut_N900 http://url4.eu/wdC9. Slightly old technology, no? Linux 2.6.23, gcc 3.2.3. No real reason not to be more up to date.
  10. Time for an Android phone, Rogers/Fido compatible. LG Eve? HTC Dream? HTC Magic? Any current users? Opinions?
  11. @mjasay: http://bit.ly/4TVuXK "Microsoft has lost its fight. This should concern us." No, it should embolden us. It's about time.
  12. Would local non-Linux IT folks looking for work benefit from a free 1/2-day crash course in Linux? Would that have value? Thoughts?
  13. Dear K-W: Who should I be following in the local area, geek/Linux-wise? Suggestions welcome.
  14. Tempted to give a free local (K-W) talk on "What the heck is *embedded* Linux? And why do I care?" Any interest? DM or call me.
  15. Being a technical editor, not as easy as it looks. Luckily, my awesome wordsmithing ability can carry me.
  16. Ah, the irony -- an industry that loves to badmouth open source software while quietly making off with it: http://bit.ly/825KbM. Tacky.
  17. U-Boot version 2 for the BeagleBoard, time to start beta testing. If it breaks, I apparently get to keep all the pieces.
  18. No, I DON'T care about the infidelity-related business fallout for a billionaire sports celebrity. Seriously.
  19. For the holidays, spend money where it makes a difference: http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/.
  20. Teaching done for the week, happy, happy, joy, joy. Time to write a course on virtualization, methinks. I'm guessing it would sell.
