Dell is going to start selling computers with Linux instead of Windows. Here's the announcement. I'll try not to jump on the couches with excitement.

Earlier this year Dell did a poll asking what customers want. Turns out they want Linux. Having Dell sell Linux boxes will make a big difference in helping Linux gain acceptance among regular consumers. They haven't actually announced Linux models yet, but they do have instructions on how to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Toshiba is also considering selling Linux boxes. Meanwhile, a Microsoft employee blogs about running Linux at home.

Is this going to be the Year of Linux?

For those of you who have been living under a rock, a gas truck crashed on the MacArthur Maze just east of the Bay Bridge and destroyed two overpasses.  It's going to be a pain getting to my mom's this weekend.

My buddy Rob pointed out: "a terrorist couldn't have planned it better."  It wasn't a terrorist; it was a sloppy truck driver.  But that made me realize two things:

10. think they're loaded with deep meaning about the world and the way it works . . . but they're really not
9. It's hard to understand why anyone would actually enjoy it

8. After a night of it, you have a splitting headache

7. The people who are actually doing it don't shop at Hot Topic

6. The groupies aren't as good as you'd think

Had my last day of law school class yesterday.  The worst is yet to come (finals & the bar exam) but it still felt good.  Three years of law school.  That's an accomplishment.  I deserve to feel proud.

Now the hard part.

I'll do it.  I'll be studying all day anyway.
