tomahawk in fedora, Re: a twisted tale of woe, adversity, and triumph
First the good news, tomahawk, the social media player, is finally in fedora (rawhide only at the moment, stay tuned for an appearance in fedora 16).

This Week in Fedora podcast interview (Episode 6)

marave, a different kind of editor

Anyway, good news is that marave is on it's way into fedora soon, I hope. :)

Enjoy. -
Early christmas for me
Early Christmas came for this year in the form of an iPod touch. So far so good. Just a bit of music, tv shows and free games so far. Oh. And Internet. Lots of internet.

FUDCon Toronto, day 1 : Clint and his toys
While Clint was recording/streaming audio from FUDCon Toronto 2009, I was running around observing, interviewing, and even doing the mst3k thing in a few talks.
In doing so, I took the chance to do a quick-n-dirty video interview. Here it is in all it's (mostly) raw and unedited glory,
