Acts of Volition Radio: Session 22

July 17, 2005 by Steven Garrity

This, the 22nd session of Acts of Volition Radio, was recorded the the safe-harbour of my office on a Saturday night. Meanwhile, back at my house (from which I was temporarily banished), my bride-to-be and her friends celebrated the waning days of her life as a single woman. The songs don’t really have anything to do that, but I thought I’d give you some context.

RSS Readers for the Gnome Desktop

July 15, 2005 by Steven Garrity

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.

Live from the Formosa, Session Four

July 13, 2005 by Steven Garrity

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.

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)
