At Day Job, we love data visualization. I do. Many people do. So much easier to share, learn and appreciate information when the data is expressed in a chart, map or tag cloud.
Noodling around for a Google map for a post to come out tomorrow, I ran across a Google map of “Unitarians and […]
Let me introduce my user case doppleganger, The Rev. Angela Mather. She’s the minister of the Lower Walnut Universalist Church in Lower Walnut, Maine. I mention her because she could use some help with free and open-source software solutions. Actually, she could use any number of solutions. And we’re going to help her out.

Later. Saw “Naked Day”? — it’s been moved to April 9.
If someone asked to borrow your computer to conduct malaria research when you weren’t using it, would you? I think most people would, and you know I’m not speaking hypothetically. Indeed, if you say BBC World News tonight, you saw a feature story about it. […]
As they say, deaths come in three. First Gary Gygax and now science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, aged 90. I rather thought he would outlast all of us.

The deciding factor was a little caution in the user guide:
Removing the pre-installed software is not allowed.
Really? Even though I have no interest […]
Yesterday, I made significant weight-loss and a financial security goals. I also bought a new computer. A light one. In cash.
I had written about the Asus Eee PC — which I’m calling “One Laptop per Adult” — but was thinking about waiting until April or later, when a rumored slightly-larger model was set to debut. […]
