Just because I’m a geek and the guys at p.d.o. are doing it… ;)

During one of those lucid moments of spontaneous philosophical discussions I have with my wife while driving to work, I came up with the following question: Assuming you follow Christianity’s point of view about the creation of the world and human kind, you most likely know that God gave life to Adam and Eve, Earth’s first inhabitants. They proceeded to follow his advice of propagating the race and gave birth to 3 kids (I believe they were all of masculine gender).

I forgot to add 2 other items purchased during said shopping spree: The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow: I wanted to buy their album ever since I heard 2 of their songs in the soundtrack CD for “Garden State”. Good listening! Bluegrass Today: I confess… I’m addicted to bluegrass music!!! There, you’re happy???

Tomorrow will be the 14th anniversary of the birth of Linux!

After the first shock-wave caused by the announcement of Google Talk and the lack of a client for non-Microsoft operating systems, I’m glad to inform that you’ll be able to join in the fun using some of the other supported open source clients. Since I use Gaim for all my instant messenger needs, here's the info on how to set it up.

Right before I succumbed to some major infection and spend most of my Sunday and Monday in bed in agonizing pain and fever, I managed to buy a few things: Band of Brothers (DVD set) - Finally managed to buy it! Back in February while attending Linux World in Boston, I watched the first 7 1/2 episodes at Supertoadman’s house. About 3 weeks ago I mustered enough courage to cough up the $100+ for the set only to forget to pick it up at the register.

Google announced today their new tool Sidebar, “a panel on your desktop which provides convenient, one-glance access to all sorts of personalized information." It looks nice but I won’t be able to try it out since they didn’t bother to create a Linux version! You’d think that at least Google would have considered the open source community. This really blows but I’ll survive.
