The Best of Campist
Sun, 11 May 2008 17:51:19 PDT
For the ultimate in camping fashion and function, the Oregon Scientific Meteo Weather Forecast Watch is a low-profile watch that not only tells the time, but has a built-in stopwatch for keeping track of time gone by, and it also forecasts the weather by measuring barometric pressure trends. Great for campers on the move, the Multimat Adventure Superlight 25 self-inflating mat offers four seasons of comfortable sleeps. The Buck X-Tract LED Pocket Tool lets you cut, fix, tinker with

Financial Phenology
Sun, 11 May 2008 18:34:53 PDT
I received an email containing several interesting insights from regular visitor M'Liz Dupree, and I asked her if I could share them with other Financial Armageddon readers. Fortunately, she agreed, and here is what she had to say (with a few slight tweeks for clarity): In the horticultural world, in which I work, the science of phenology tracks the relationship between natural events and plants and animals. I've been applying phenology lately to the economy. Observation is the key; little thin

Teach Me My Ways
Sun, 11 May 2008 19:37:10 PDT
My favorite thing about software is when it teaches me something about myself that I didn’t know. That something doesn’t need to be important, it just needs to be something. I’m a huge fan of twitter so I was pretty excited when I came across this twitter mashup. It uses Yahoo Pipes (to parse data client side) and Google Charts (to present data) to show you a scatter chart of when you typically tweet and bar charts of your tweets by month, day of week and hour. It’s a really interesting repr
Review - A Passion for God: The Spiritual Journey of A. W. Tozer
Sun, 11 May 2008 19:39:53 PDT
Others before me have gone much farther into holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame. —A. W. Tozer If I were to examine my life and discover what man has contributed more to my own spiritual growth, it would be no stretch to say that Aiden Wilson Tozer has enlarged my knowledge of God in great ways. No other Christian author has made me think and weep like Tozer has, and I believe I would not
Thoughts on DataPortability
Sun, 11 May 2008 20:06:26 PDT
Introduction Over the last several days I’ve started and abandoned four drafts of this post. Usually it doesn’t take me this long to write out my thoughts, or to go through so many different approaches, but I wanted to express myself as clearly as I could given the amount and overlapping texture of what I wanted to say. I ended up gutting a lot, and tried to focus on some basics, making as few assumptions about the reader (you) as possible. The reality is that I’m eyeballs-deep in this stuff,

According to Google Trends , but also according to Distrowatch, our own statistics here at OSNews and overall sense of the industry during 2006, Ubuntu has a big leap in mind share ahead of its competition (please note that we don't dare to say "market share", although we are pretty confident that it's the most used Linux desktop out there today).
The Machine Is Us
Sun, 11 May 2008 20:24:44 PDT
We've come a long way from HAL, the machine in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey that rebels at the plan to disconnect him. The fear of machines in these films is rooted in the fear of them as a separated and uncontrollable force. They are not us. But now it seems that we are clearly transitioning into a new period in which machine and human mesh. The machine is us now. We mod and mash-up the real and the virtual. The challenge going forward is to balance the relationship. To understand and
EarthTalk: Healthy fast food? Sunblock?

Dear EarthTalk: I really want to eat healthy and organic but am constantly traveling and on the go. How can I eat fast food without having to always end up at McDonalds and Burger King? – Dylan Baker, Seattle, Washington The latest trend in fast food is healthy and organic, and luckily for conscious consumers, several chains offering just such fare are taking root in different parts of the U.S. One of the leaders of this small but scrappy pack of fast food upstarts is O’Naturals.

The “War” Between Inflation and Deflation Has Produced Plenty of Noise and Casualties
Sun, 11 May 2008 21:00:59 PDT
The markets didn’t reveal anything very telling yesterday. The Dow rose 52 points. The dollar held steady. Oil remained near its all time record of $123. And gold went up $10. So far, things have worked out more or less as we expected. The “war” between inflation and deflation has produced plenty of noise and casualties...but no decisive victory. We guessed that the Fed would be far more interested in fighting a deflationary recession than in fighting an inflationary boom. America’s central b
