Elseposts

At IT Garage: Is there a shortage of big open source thinkers?

Also, the SuitWatch archives are back up. My latest: The New Zeitgeist: Meetings = Closed, Forums = Open. The next will be out Thursday.

Some of you noticed that we're missing much of April, May and June in the archives. This is a public reminder to myself to get them up there.

Retrospections

The upstream connection here at the hotel (in Tampa, near the airport) is nice and fast, so I was able to upload several hundred pictures from the just completed Geek Cruise to this photoset at Flickr. They're not in order, and I don't have time to rearrange them, but meanwhile they do indulge my astonishment at the beyond-Vegas decor of the otherwise terrific Carnival Miracle cruise ship. Which I do highly recommend, by the way, if you're into cruises.

I'll file my report(s) about the cruise in Linux Journal, hopefully later this week or early next.

Happy Birthday

To The Kid, who turns 9 today. My original travel plans had me coming home this afternoon, but some important business came up in New York, so I'll be heading there for today and tomorrow, and back ASAP Wednesday. A birthday party is planned for later this week. Meanwhile, the ghost of Harry Chapin sings in my mind.

Nearly all of my few podcasts have been with the kid. We'll have a good time doing another (and many more), I promise, after I get home.
