Summer update and Mario
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted but I’m not dead yet. I’ve been pretty busy this summer looking for a new job and working with the folks at the Haiku Project on various undertakings. I’m also in the process of creating a Haiku User Group in Canada. Anyway I figured I’d [...]
Life – It’s Open Source by Osmosis
Inspiration comes from the weirdest places. This time it came from a plurk that I posted saying “TheNerd wishes he could open source his life“. AaronMSB responded with the following statement “isn’t your life a little open source already. You learn and take mannerisms and stuff from the people around you”. This was quite an [...]

That’s right, please fuck off and leave me alone! Four years ago when you called and asked for a $20 donation I thought you sounded like a noble and respectable organization that would not sell my number or continue to harass me (at least that’s what you told me). Boy was I ever wrong. The [...]

I’m now published by someone other than myself!
My brother-in-law and friend Mike (from DropTheMike.com) has published a short article I wrote for his blog. It’s a post about upgrading to Windows Vista from Windows XP. I have yet to see the reasoning one would want to upgrade to Vista. I’m not even sure it should be called an upgrade. Just because it’s [...]
If I were a TWiT who would I want to be?

Some shows on the network include Security Now, Jumping Monkey, this WEEK in TECH, FLOSS Weekly, and more. If I had the choice to be [...]
