Don’t know when I’ll be back again… (That part is true, details to follow. I will need your help, so please stay tuned!)
I’ll be at OSCON for the rest of the week, and from there, well, we’ll see. Really, please stay tuned!
Month: July 2008
Cat And Toe
I missed Friday Cat Blogging, but Kiki was rather full of herself today, so I thought I’d snap a photo. I also got a bit of my big toe in the photo. It made me chuckle, so I didn’t crop it out. 😀
Gifts from my daughters
It's my birthday, and I've been showered with gifts. You might recognize these pipe cleaners, as they "starred" in my latest Linux Journal video. 🙂

I Made It Around The Sun Again
So that’s like, pretty good and stuff.
My best present? Donna coming home today. 🙂
(And yes, Amanda comes home too, which is awesome, but I’m totally gonna make out with Donna when she gets here. 😀 )
Research
Perhaps there's more in the future for http://monsterlibrary.tv ?
Time will tell…

Political Funny!
I’ve seen this all over the web, so I don’t know who to give credit to for sending me the link first, but it was probably someone over on my blogroll, so visit them all. 🙂

Ok, I’ll Type One Thing
If you haven’t been watching Dr. Horrible, you must. Joss Whedon has a master plan. I like the plan. You can be a part of the plan. You can watch it online for free, or buy it on iTunes. (I actually did both, I like supporting new ideas like this) There will also be other options available for purchase later, but the online free viewing ENDS on July 20th. You don’t want to miss it, I’m sure.
Click here to watch it online. The 3rd and final act will go live on my birthday.

Review: HP-2133
HP sent me one of their Mini-Note’s to review, even after the video I put up 2 weeks ago. I was impressed with how they handled themselves, and I was equally impressed with the laptop. Check it out:
Standard Cellphone Chargers
That’s all I want in the world. Well, not really, but it would add a huge boon to my happiness. My family is late to the “let’s get cellphones” game, but even with our limited exposure, we have had 3 different style cellphones, each one taking a radically different charger. Of the 3, my current Razr is the one that “gets it right” when it comes to power adapter.
See, that’s a standard Mini USB plug. I can charge my phone with the charger, or by connecting it to any Mini USB connector attached to a computer. Why each company (including Motorola, one of the other 3 is a different model Motorola) has to make proprietary power connectors is a mystery to me. I know the claim is to sell more power cords, but with 3rd party chargers, where is the advantage for the OEM?
Cellphone companies: Standardize. And do so with Mini USB.
Thank you. That is all.
