Have you read, “The Martian”?
I recently read (cough cough, Audible.com) The Martian for my first ever book club experience. Why a book club? I like to read, but rarely set deadlines to finish a book. That means it often takes me a few months to get through a short book. How was my first book club meeting? Glad you asked! […]

From the moment I received the email about the launch of the service to the time of the delivery, the process was straightforward. I was amazed by the sheer quantity […]
Why all Open Source projects matter
Before the internet, access to vast information and innovation was not always straightforward. Worldwide information infrastructure was built atop physical volumes of fragile paper text, and transmitted at rates that make a 14.4k modem seem lightning fast.
