Observations

Now that I am in college, I get to see first-hand what other students my age are using to get their work done.  After just spending a few days here, I am already surprised by what I have seen.  The first thing that surprised me is the fact that the Mac and PC mix is [...]

It’s Time For Change: Part I

The Linux community can always be a better place.  I have always pictured the “perfect” Linux community as one that is helpful and kind to others, nonexclusive, professional (not in the sense of business formality) and free of bureaucracy.  As picturesque as that is, I have doubts to whether that will ever happen.  Too many [...]

UDN Update

I am continuing to move forward with my idea for the Ubuntu Developer Network, which has over 400 votes on the Ubuntu Brainstorm site.  Today, I finished the plan and created a blueprint over in launchpad.  Who knows?  Maybe it will turn into something…

Improving Twitter

One of the things I noticed is that when using Twitter, updates are constantly moved down the page.  If you happen to follow a [...]

Oh No They Didn’t!

AppleInsider has recently been spewing some interesting material on their web site… you might call it damage control after Microsoft’s recent ad.  You might say that I am pleasantly entertained by it all.  I will say that I am rooting for Microsoft in this case, but I am certainly no fan of Windows.  I volunteer [...]

Old is New

There’s a saying, “What was old is new again.”  While that may typically apply to fashion, I have found it to be true in the hardware I am using.  To be more specific, its my PDA that is new again.  I have written about my use of Palms and Pocket PCs in the past.  What [...]

Microsoft’s New Ads: Absolute Gold!

Wow… I never thought Microsoft could (or would) pull off a rather successful advertising campaign — that’s just kicking off.
I have long dispised owning a Mac computer because of the price and the attitude that came along with one.  So yeah, I’m not cool enough for a Mac, but I run Ubuntu, which by the [...]
