- OOoCon 2009 - Call for Location
Want to host the next OpenOffice.org conference? the 2008 event was in Beijing so I'd have to guess a location in Europe would stand a good chance this year... - Dan Gilbert researches happiness
Just watched this TED talk from 2005 and it's a brilliant and entertaining explanation - which seems so obvious in retrospect - of what influences our choices and why we are so often wrong. Unusually for a TED video there's also a Q & A at the end that's worth watching. - On Christmas Day in the morning
25 million downloads of OpenOffice.org 3.0. Regardless of the self-interested whining from some quarters, it's clear something about this release gets it right for the people who really matter, the users of the software. - FUD from the Linux Foundation or: Mr Zemlin again
"Using FUD is a good fear detector in my daily business. The amount of spreaded FUD is proportional to the amount of fear. Thus i have to assume that Mr. Zemlin of the Linux Foundation is really afraid of Solaris." - Matthew Alexander on Torture
"I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo." (the book looks interesting too). - Blog Response guide
Excellent flow chart by the USAF PR team for responding to commentary on blogs that captures what many of us already learned and try to practice (even if we do end up feeding the odd troll). - Ring flash
Fascinating idea - a ring-light that works by redirecting and diffusing a normal flash.
