Penguin Awareness Day - January 20th, 2009

Jan 04, 2009 5:21pm GMT

I was riding Southwest Airlines, coming back from visiting my relatives in Pennsylvania. I picked up a copy of the airline's Spirit Magazine from the seat back pocket, and started reading about various little-known holidays. Then I noticed that "Penguin Awareness Day" is January 20th. While "Penguin Awareness Day" officially has little to do with Linux, and there is even... more »

Gifts that keep on giving

Dec 22, 2008 1:13pm GMT

This time of year a lot of people exchange gifts in celebration of various holidays. Chanukah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa to name a few. Making things a little harder for me, both my brother and my father celebrate their birthdays in December. If you are like me and coming up with the extra money this time of year is difficult, or trying to buy that gift for the "person who has everything&q... more »

Giving Back

Dec 12, 2008 1:56pm GMT

I was attending Latinoware, an event in Brazil held on the grounds of the Itaipu Hydro-electric plant, currently the world's largest in capacity. Each event in Brazil has its own personality, and the Latinoware event reaches out not only to the Portuguese-speaking Free Software community, but also the Spanish-speaking communities. A highlight of this year's event was an "Olympiad"... more »

Dear Mr. Obama - Small and Medium Business

Dec 08, 2008 9:08pm GMT

Dear President-elect Obama, As part of your campaign, you were an advocate for small and medium business (SMB). I agree with this philosophy, since such a large number of people in the United States are employed by SMBs, and since such a large portion of our economy is based on SMBs. In the computer industry there is something known as Free Software, which is software that guarantees the a... more »

Open Mobility?

Nov 24, 2008 2:27am GMT

Last week I was at a conference in San Francisco entitled "Open Mobile Summit".For their first attempt the organizers did what I thought was a very good job organizing this conference, getting people from many branches of the mobile telephone industry (handset manufacturers, carriers, service providers and ISPs) to come together to talk about "Open Mobility". There were... more »

December 31st. 2009: NAT Free - Goodbye to an old friend

Nov 14, 2008 3:32pm GMT

By now anyone who does not know we are running out of IPv4 Internet addresses must be living in a hole. The warnings and pleadings of the Internet community to move toward IPv6 have gone from "advisory" to "panic" to "IT is almost too late". But while the final issue may have to be solved by the "cupboard is bare" answer, I have found a few more reasons... more »

Back to the Future - Past events in Ohio and future events in Ontario, Canada

Oct 20, 2008 5:19pm GMT

In a lot of ways it is nice to write for a magazine family like Linux New Media that is a media sponsor of so many events. I get to see a lot of the events, and it encourages me to go to more of the talks than I would normally do. Normally I talk to people in the hallways and see one or two talks. When I represent the magazine at these events, I try to see more of the talks. October 11th was... more »
