I suspect the Android platform will give Windows Mobile, Symbian, and iPhone platforms a run for their money, and I look forward to playing with one of these gadgets sooner than later.

In the Open Source community the progress of this platform is pretty exciting, and can do wonders for Linux market share in general.  The potential for this new convergence of software (Android, Gears, Chrome, and Linux) is tremendous, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Over at LinuxJournal.com, Doc Searls shares his thoughts on Google’s direction, and like most of Doc’s writing, it is well worth checking out.

Check out Geri’s Acer Aspire One review over at LinuxJournal.com.  There are some pretty useful comments over there.

I got the Acer Aspire One a few weeks ago, and I love it.  If I had to complain about something, it would be the battery life.  At just over 2 hours, it leaves a bit to be desired.  However, at this price ($329), the incredibly usable keyboard, friendly Linux distro (Linupus Lite), purse friendly size and weight, and slick aesthetics make it a winner.  Now I just need to get a slightly larger purse so I can carry it everywhere.

Enjoy!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for a few years, you most certainly have heard of WordPress, one of the most popular blogging platforms around that also happens to be 100% open source. There are a few iterations of WordPress that power personal and corporate blogs as well as collections of blogs for large institutions, like Harvard University. And, WordPress.com brings blogging to anyone with just a few clicks.

This is a bit of a departure from his usual antics, but worth watching. This one’s serious! Ok, mostly serious.
