I swore to myself I wasn’t going to write about the iPhone. After all, there’s enough hype about it already. It seems as if you can’t go to a single website without reading about how great it is and how you can’t afford one. Don’t get me wrong, I fully plan on getting an [...]

Yesterday I posted an article about Google Trends which shows you what the “hot” search terms are for the day. Since that post, we have experienced two more horrible tragedies. The hot topic being the murder/suicide involving Chris Benoit and his family, and of course the expected one, the release of Paris Hilton.
I [...]

Recently I’ve been watching Google Trends to try and find some things to write about that people might be interested in. Today’s number one search is for the Lake Tahoe Fire, which as of this writing has destroyed more than 220 structures and is threatening 500 more.
I found it ironic, and a bit disturbing [...]

Microsoft has slowly been picking off Linux vendors one by one to sign “non-infringement” pacts with the Redomond, WA behemoth.  Novell, Xandros and Linspire have all bowed to what is most certainly more FUD spread by Microsoft and signed the pacts.  However, the big-name companies like Red Hat, Ubuntu, and most recently Mandriva have come [...]

Here’s a poser for you: could there be anything more frightening than a bunch of open source geeks (proud ones, at that) milling around the mean streets of Edinburgh? Well, yes. How about if you put some of them in special Debian kilts?
Thus begins an article over at The Register. I’m a big [...]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months since I updated. It’s plainly obvious at how much of a failure I am at blogging :P.
To be fair, I’ve been pretty busy as of late, working on some of the forums I manage. Not to mention the fact that I’ve actually been going outside [...]
