Linux Suffers Crushing Defeat Due to Driver Errors
Today Linux suffered a crushing defeat as the Linux car crashed and placed last in the Indy 500.
The concept was very cool. I love these community efforts where geeks pull together to do something fun outside of writing code. In this case, the Tux 500 campaign raised just over $18,000 from people in the Linux community to sponsor a car and get Linux with the Tux logo placed on an Indy Car.
Props to commenters on the Engadget post for the driver error comment.

Off the Grid
I will be off the grid visiting family through Wednesday, December 27 in rural Ohio … land of dial-up internet where the closest broadband is more than a 20 minute drive away at a Starbucks in a truck stop! I do have my Samsung Blackjack for email and web surfing “emergencies” 😉
Happy Holidays!
The Distro of the Beast

“Let him who hath understanding reckon the distro of the beast,
for it is a Linux distro,
its distro is Ubuntu Satanic Edition.” (Quote from Ubuntu Satanic Edition)
Thanks to Todd for pointing this out!

Firefox Crop Circle in Oregon Hits Google Maps
Way cool! Here is the Firefox crop circle created in rural Oregon after OSCON. Unfortunately, I wasn’t involved in the crop circle, but I’m still waiting for our Cylon Raider from Foo to hit the maps.
Just Arrived: My Flickr MiniCards from Moo
I just received my Flickr MiniCards from Moo. They are very small (hence the mini part), so I’m not quite sure how I will use them, but they are definitely cool.
