Superbowl Shuffle


I'm off to Chicago to support the Bears in their quest for Superbowl glory. With any luck, the Bears will take the Colts down to Chinatown. I'm lucky that I found a great fare on kayak. For less than $300 bucks, I can fly direct from SFO to Ohare and not really miss any work either. That was the clincher for making the trip.

Go Bears!

Later, he said he would differentiate his approach from some competitors. Hastings said Google and Yahoo will take the ad-supported model while Netflix will be a rent DVDs.

Touring RHEL 5 Beta 1: New features make upgrades tempting

Nice article from Curtis Smith. I agree with most of his points even though I find his analysis a bit conservative.

My take, Xen is a bigger deal than Curtis lets on. Stateless sounds interesting, thanks for pointing that one out. The wiki could use a bit more explanation. NFS is so old school, can't we move on?

Press-Telegram - Galaxy in big leagues now

Press-Telegram - Galaxy in big leagues now

David Beckham is the kind of soccer (football) player I would foul every chance I get. He probably wears white shoes too. Still, I'm happy to hear he has decided to join the MLS and I wish him and the LA Galaxy all the best. In all, this is a great move for US Soccer. Not since the New York Cosmos of old has a move like this impacted soccer in the US so profoundly.
