fair and balanced misdis



Fox News Wednesday referred to Michelle Obama as 'Obama's Baby Mama'. Fwiw a "Baby's Mama" is a slur referring to a girlfriend with children, not a wife. When you misuse slang in an attempt to dis you just end up looking like a tool.

What Remains

There is something between a Tweet and a Blog. It is less than an essay and more than one hundred forty characters. Most things written by non-writers fall here. Stand still while everyone else takes a step backward if you too object to squeezing these things out. Let's reclaim 'blog entry' and push out that which passes as a 'blog entry' now to a realm into some other place where it belongs.

calendar reminder

Accidentally weirding out single-no-kids co-workers looking over my shoulder:

"Pick up boys from school"

I will be more specific about the subjects (my sons) from now on.

innotek's business plan?

As I fired up my SLED Virtual Box just now I remembered what a pain it was to try to find a correctly licensed version of VMWare through our internal corporate shares and the VMWare website. Such a pain in fact that I quit trying after half an hour and downloaded Virtual Box instead. Half an hour later I was getting work done. Virtual Box is fast and free [note: unpaid and unsolicited product endorsement] and because it's free I wondered to myself, "How does Innotek (the makers of Virtual Box) make their money?".

SANTA CLARA, CA February 12, 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced that it has entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire innotek, the provider of the leading edge, open source virtualization software called VirtualBox. By enabling developers to more efficiently build, test and run applications on multiple platforms, VirtualBox will extend the Sun xVM platform onto the desktop and strengthen Sun's leadership in the virtualization market. This software is available for all major operating systems at www.virtualbox.org and www.openxvm.org.(source)

Oh. That's how.
