Ubuntu 101 Blog ~ MIT going Closed Source Why?
In it’s most simple terms, it is because to many see Microsoft as the only solution to anything related to Desktop Software, so to make it clear I used that as a visual clue, as what Microsoft has done really has nothing to do with anything but the green in the pocket, and a group of happy investors, honestly what has Microsoft offered to the community. Before the trial of Microsoft’s Monopilistic tendencies, there was little if nothing they offered to the community, to the public at large. Removing Netscape, severing it’s community based roots, forcing people to use their browser unless they knew about the other options which commonly is well hidden from the end user. You ever try and remove a software package from Microsoft from your system, not finding it in the Add/Remove Programs, not finding it anywhere. To remove it having to enter into the depths of the registry, that in itself lead to far more confusion. The point is, that Microsoft has long been in a position where it did not matter, In fact even the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation was a result of court order to use the money that was being made in part for Philanthropy, for helping the community that was otherwise severed before.
I crossed it off because there needs to be change, to much is already written about Microsoft, to many desktops still run it as the default operating system with all it’s associated security issues, and lack of regular updates. Many are trapped in the Microsoft world the Proprietary verse, to cross them off was a clear statement to the need for the change that was preached.

Why one of the foremost tech schools would step away from an open source idea to a closed source annoyance I have no idea, except for the fact it would depend on who is lining the pockets of those who are making the decisions for the school.
A matter of funding perhaps is the only logical conclusion that can be reached from this simple article, what do you interpret?
TweetGrid – Seesmic First Look – Ubuntu Open Sourced « Ubuntu101's Blog
the servers that bring the information to the table run off of Apache, the good coder follows suit to escape a proprietary bond, and instead support the community based effort that is Open Source. It is good to know that some of the better known Web Based Twitter clients have a tendency to try and stay away from Proprietary Annoyances, that windows stays consistent with, whether you like it or not

The wonders of the interconnected world, that these servers all about this web running of Apache, Linux Servers, because they are more secure and more flexible then windows could ever be. This articles also looks at some of the current web or air based clients to access the network that is twitter, also running on a Linux Backend.
Internet Censorship - Should It Happen?
via raymondmarr.com
The idea of censoring the astounding community driven world on the web. The one place where people can speak their mind not be challenged or questioned, except by others in an independent press. To try and censor the one place people can be who they choose, act how they decide and speak there mind without fear of retribution because it is a medium that is society based, of countless independent authors sharing there thoughts and knowledge with the world.

[Aborted] Christmas Card from FLIMEMA on Vimeo.
At the start of December, I spent a couple of afternoons making this. Although I never finalized that final segment, I soon thought of something better to inflict on you at Christmas (which is posted here: vimeo.com/8370390).
SOUND & MUSIC:All sourced from freesound.org
A great video, some fun with it, and will come about with a surprise, since really soon as this next day passes Christmas will be over seems that this was a good one for the close of the holiday that is Christmas.

Best Travel Stories ~ Quotes And Inspiration
In the Shadow of Fabled Timbuktu lies the medievel tow of Djenne, and every child's fantasy: heres the most colossal mud pie in the world rises from the desert. The Djenne Mosque is 12,000 square feet and built entirely of sand and sticks. Its tan minarets reach for the clouds like arems oustretched in prayer. Six steps, symbolizing the transition from profane to sacred, lead into the mosque. Centuries of monsoons have somehow spared this house of Allah. As I am admiring the holy sandcastle a teenager with a crutch approaches. In flawless English he announces, "My name is Toka. I would like to show you around, May I?" I haven't heard a word of English in two weeks. "Follow Me," he offers, his bright smile illuminating his dark face like a crescent moon. (Chapter 1)

New & Improved Sites & Information
WordPress
Is a new medium that has a bit more interesting options then Blogger which iswhy I decided to go with it for the moment...
Also the ease of redirection as I guess you can also do with Blogspot
via Blogger
seems to make good sense to me, So I took the proper steps in this new
direction and begin setting up blogs at Word Press and yet I wonder if
it is similarly how it went with Blogspot, mutliple blogs on multiple
subjects, that are worked on every now and again. So Really I need to
look at that aspect of the circumstance.

Governor Of California formerly Known As Terminator Signs Bill without Budget.
SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided to make an exception to his pledge that he would veto or avoid signing bills before lawmakers reach agreement on a state budget.From KSBW TwitterFeed
Although this is a blog for bicycling I figured I would share something I was just made aware of today, that even without a budget the Governor of California signed a bill. Maybe not that exciting but it is what the bill is in reference to that relates to Bicycling or at the very least Alternative Transportation. This bill is the first step in putting the first leg down of a 700 mile transit system that would link Californias major cities at speeds in excess of 199 mph. A high speed rail system designed to decrease the cars on the road. That in itself can be a very important part of the entire process don't you think? As those who bicycle regularly can say, that less cars means a better experience when cycle commuting. In commuting by Human Powered Vehicle, to get from point A to point Z.
Though on the other hand, if more are using a high speed train system would that mean less would ride a bike or more in line with what usually occurs according to the many bicycle commuters who play an active role in BikeForums who often speak of using a combination of Public Transit and there own Human Powered System can get anywhere they need to go without the cost of driving a car. In that sense an improvement on the Public Transit system can be a great addition to the repertoire of using Alternative Transport to travel point to point while saving the environment.
What are some of your thoughts, how do you feel about that and your own views on improvements of Public Transit to increase usage of Alternative Transportation?
