Playing with Blender’s New Hair Particles

Neuros OSD First Impressions
The following was live-blogged on 25 Jul 2008: Got my Neuros OSD today via UPS! w00t w00t! I’ve been lusting after this since it was featured in Linux Format Magazine last month. (or was it two months ago?) I unpacked the contents and skimmed through the quick start guide. Then I hooked it up in…

New Surrender is a return to Anberlin’s best qualities
I just got Anberlin’s latest album, “New Surrender”. I was pretty lukewarm about “Cities” and Danielle just about hated it. We both loved “Blueprints for the Black Market” and “Never Take Friendship Personal”. This album is a return to the sounds and lyrics of those first two albums. I loved it upon first listen. Danielle…

Moonlight – what’s the big deal?
Hardly a day goes by that I don’t see an article on Linux Today about Moonlight and what a horrible person Miguel de Icaza is. So I thought I’d go ahead and do some exploration of what’s going on with Moonlight and Silverlight. First of all, what’s Silverlight? Check out the Silverlight article on Wikipedia.…

Review: Antix 7.5
It’s time once again for a Linux distro review. This month, Antix 7.5 was included on the LXF DVD. It’s another light distro, so I will use the same metrics I used in the Lightweight Linux Throwdown. Antix is based upon Mepis which is, in turn, based upon Debian. I think at one point it…

Time, once again, to unload some of the quotes I’ve recorded onto the blog: “I always say, ‘If you can’t beat ’em …. Report them to Homeland Security. They’ll beat ’em for you’ ” -Colbert on The Colbert Report 9 June 2008 ?(03:25:23 PM) Danny: mom just gets pissed if we don’t eat three meals…

The Current Financial Mess – We Never Should have ended up Here
Today I was listening to Fresh Air on NPR. They had an economics guy on who’s now a professor at one of the University of Maryland campuses and was involved in Clinton’s economic team. (Although he didn’t always see eye to eye with Clinton’s treasury secretary) This guy put the current economic crisis in the…

Fedora 9 Review (also Gnome in Fedora 9 Part 2)
So I waited until about halfway through Fedora 9’s initial life-cycle to install it. I listed the reasons for that here. Once KDE 4.1 was finally out and most of the complaints had stopped, I took the plunge. I am actually very happy with Fedora 9. I think most of the reviews you may have…

It gives you all the information you could ever want to know about your computer in a nice easy to use interface. I learned about it in a recent Computer User Magazine. Here are some examples of the information…

Google’s new Chrome Web Browswer has been all over the news today. See this general one here. Or this one mentioning how it’s supposed to be a Microsoft killer. This one talks about how blazingly fast it is. (I agree!) And, finally, this one talking about how Google is becoming more evil with the…
