This seems to be a question that is very relevant to my work, although we don’t quite exactly sell an open source product. I think pretty much what it comes down to, is that there are so far two (plus one) kinds of open source business models. A service-based company (supposedly like redhat) which is […]
Came across this page this morning: Radiation measurements for cell phones on the market. The federal requirement says you have to stay under 1.6, mine is a 1.21. Probably a good thing to look at before buying my next phone. Although, does it mean if you have less radiation then you also get worse reception?
So I’m off to Maryland for the SELinux Symposium. A bunch of HP, IBM, Redhat, and NSA guys will be there as well. Should be pretty interesting, though I’m not looking forward to the flight (being that I just made the return trip very recently). But I guess everyone’s over there huh. (Redhat in NC, […]
Finally got a chance to play with the new powerbooks two-fingered scrolling feature. Feels like it works pretty well, and seems so obvious in hind sight. I’m always the most excited about simple, seemingly obvious improvements like these. They are few and far between in the computer world, and Apple probably lays claim to a […]

Not much time to write these days.. and it doesn’t really seem like I have an audience anyways. How sad. Bought a DSC-P150 compact 7.2 megapixel camera. Pretty impressed with it so far. This is step 1 in my plan to get rid of the canon g3, and have one take anywhere camera and one […]
So the InFocus X1/Screenplay 4800, or the NEC VT470. The NEC seems to get great reviews, and its brightness makes it much more useful in conditions with somewhat more ambient light. Its a few hundred more though.. in the rage of a nikon d70 which I also have to get… I’m still a little trigger […]
I’m now looking at getting an InFocus X1 or X1A projector. They are very similar in price and functionality.. the A model has digital keystone adjustments but no high-quality de-interlacer. They both run about 800-900 bucks, and come with a 4000 hour lamp which should last a good few years for my usage pattern. I’ll […]
