I want one. Don’t know what I’ll use it for yet – but I want a VersaLaser.
I’ve been wondering why Apple hasn’t made an edition of its browser available for Linux – any of them. It’s based on various open-source tools, and while we all know Apple likes very much to control the user experience, it seems odd to me they haven’t released at least a source edition for Linux. If [...]
Buy better tires. I referenced Seth Godin earlier today in regards to investment in developing countries. Why is it, then, that a marketing blogger would talk about wanting to reduce fuel consumption? I think it’s because it’s easier to relate to than streamlining other processes you may have in your business or development cycles. It’s [...]
Seth Godin has a cool write-up on the Acumen Fund, and what they’re doing to help the 40% of the world that ekes-by on $2 a day or less – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/08/patient-capital-markets-that-work-and-ending-the-endless-emergency-of-poverty.html.

Saturday I went to the museum, as planned. It was pretty interesting, but I would not suggest it either for small kids (probably under 10 or 12, unless they’re really really interested in the history of Singapore) or as place to go if you want to talk about what you’re looking at with the folks [...]
While I don’t currently use OpenNMS, I do lurk on the mailing lists to learn about it While on serverfault today, I thought about checking to see what OpenNMS questions there may be, and found several. None I’m qualified to answer, but the results are here: http://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/opennms. For posts that merely have OpenNMS mentioned: http://serverfault.com/search?q=opennms.

I’m planning to hit-up the National Museum of Singapore this saturday. Not sure entirely what to expect, but for $10, it oughta be a fun time. Navigating their site is non-obvious when you’re trying to find operating hours. Turns out the link as at the bottom of the page down near the administrative stuff like [...]

Along with I’m sure others on planettrilug, I’ve been working on losing some of my heft. I’ve gone back and forth on caring for a long time, but now have some incentives beyond just “it’s good for me”. My first month in Singapore I dropped ~11 pounds. The 4 weeks after that were only an [...]
little vietnam
I’ve been enjoying a small restaurant near my apartment in Singapore. It’s a cash-only operation called Little Vietnam. They’re located at 511 Guillemard Road S. They open at 1700, and close at 0100 Tuesday through Sunday. I’ve now been there several times, trying different pho options, the spring rolls, and some other specialties that jump [...]
