Ok, I found this on endgadget and…it’s weird lol!
At the AutoRAI car show in Amsterdam, a group of Dutch researchers presented what they called “the world’s first open source car”, calling it “c,mm,n” (pronounced “common”); what makes it open source? You have access to blueprints and tech drawings and can modify it any which way [...]

Ok, a friend of mine (waves a Mim) passed this link to me and it gave me lots of nostalgia, for the times before The September That Never Ended…I know I’m an old timer, but…damn, those were good times…no spam, few newbies that came online slowly enough to be educated by the old timers before [...]

So…BoingBoing found this article, in which the ars technica people talk about one of the largest online music stores in Europe, Musicload (owned by Deutsche Telekom), which has said that they don’t like DRM/C.R.A.P., and…why don’t [...]

Obviously, I out-nerded/out-geeked him…as was meant to be :)
I guess I’m too much [...]

…the most powerful magician of the Universe…
Raymond E. Feist has one of the longest series of books written in a single universe that I’ve read. At this point in time, there’s 23 published books in his Riftwar/Magician universe, with 8 more in the works, with probably more after those…I’m pretty sure he’ll keep writing [...]
