I’ve written a brief article about RSS readers available for the free/open-source Gnome Desktop for The Gnome Journal.
The Gnome Journal is “an online magazine devoted to everything surrounding the Gnome Desktop”. This issue also includes an interesting article about marketing Gnome.
Thanks to the Gnome Journal editors for publishing my article and for fixing all of my typos.
This afternoon Peter Rukavina, Dan James, and I recorded a new session of Live at the Formosa, live at the, uh, Formosa.
Live at the Formosa is an occasional radio show (I’m still ashamed of the word “podcast”, but I’ll get over it) we record at the Formosa Tea House, a regular lunch haunt of ours. We talk about technology, the universe, and everything.
This is our longest session to date (about an hour-and-a-half). So far I’ve never been sure that I would actually listen to any of these shows if I weren’t in them. However, people seem to have enjoyed them, and I think there is some compelling discussion in this episode.
Peter has the show notes and download available on his site: Live From the Formosa Tea House, Session Four.
I have some cool friends.
Live streaming video of the shuttle launch from inside the freakin’ shuttle!
Intriguing video demos of a two-hand touch surface as a coputer input device – includes tactile feedback (I’ve always wondered why a computer mouse doesn’t give tactile feedback)
The yellow Don’t @#%*ing tell me who to support ribbon
Remarkable PBS Frontline episode about private contractors working for the US in Iraq (online in streaming Real or Windows media formats)
Sad photo of Paris 2012 Olympic paraphanalia being sold off (probably photoshopped)
Google is now in the top 100 largest companies in the world. It was incorporated only 7 years ago.
Just as I was feeling good about humanity, I visit the CBC Streaming Audio page only to see this message:
Due to rights issues around the Live 8 concert, CBC.ca will stop streaming all CBC Radio One signals at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 2. The streaming will resume sometime after 4 a.m. ET on Sunday July 3.
Rights issues for a human rights concert!? Come on.
