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 [...]

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 watching some show on the Science Channel while working from home today, and just saw a segment on the Venture One.\ It’s a three-wheeled, enclosed, hybrid car – but it’s classified as a motorcycle for licensing.If it actually does show up on schedule in 2010, I think I want one. Wiki link.
reevu
Sunday, September 7, 2008
I was watching a recorded edition of Beyond Tomorrow (from Science Channel) and saw an awesome-looking motorcyle helmet, the Reevu. It has a series of polycarbonate reflectors that take light coming into the helmet from the back, reflect it over the rider’s head, and display it on a small mirror just above the visor in [...]
