[Tonight is "enjoy some new music" night (a regular feature these days).
Every Thursday evening at Colleen's on Middletown Road in Nanuet, New York (just off route 59) the Burr Johnson Band plays some great music. Fusion, Blues, Jazz. *
There's no cover charge, and no minimum. Everything is reasonably priced.
I'm supposed to be playing a bit tonight, with Burr. I'd love to see you there.
It's time to support the little guys.]

The Doc Searls Weblog : Needing my Daily Dave. "I hope the big guy hurries up and gets over whatever it is, because we miss his ass, bad." [Amen.]
The Bottom Line: Would someone take a bite ou.... "Considering that Apple has about $11 per share of cash on its balance sheet, it's fair to ask the question nagging at some opportunistic investors: Wouldn't someone want to buy the whole company? For just $6 per share -- about $2 billion -- plus Apple's own cash, you could own this proud company with a colorful past and promising future."
ZDNet: Story: Why I've learned to like Linux (but not to love it). "At the end of the last column, I was struggling with how to change the screen resolution on my monitor. Turns out this is managed by a piece of middleware called X Windows, familiar to all in the Linux/Unix community. Alas, the only way to change the screen from low-resolution 640x480 to a more useful 1024x768 was to run a program called Xconfigurer from the command prompt. Or I could simply reinstall the OS, which seemed like the easier way out. " [Oy.]
John C. Dvorak: E-Mac, i-Mac, No Mac. "The most interesting aspect with OS X is the way Apple managed to take a Unix kernel and turn it into a user-friendly OS with a charming desktop and Mac GUI. Curiously, no other company has been able to manage anything like this. The Linux folks are said to have legions of coders whose sheer numbers are supposed to be the big threat to Microsoft, but they have gotten nowhere close to what little ole' Apple has accomplished in the operating system arena. In fact, if you even bring up the issue of Linux as a possible desktop replacement, members of the Linux crowd will almost always tell you that it's not ready. Only the folks at Lindows.com even consider the possibilities. Apparently Apple has done the impossible." [It's not easy being green...]
Scot Hacker: BeHive Archive. "A BeOS die-hard just pointed out that all my old BeHive columns have gone missing from ZDNet. Reading them over now, I consider most of them embarrassing and somewhat naive, but they're a record of the time, and of one journalist's involvement in the platform. They're historically interesting. So I put up a complete archive of BeHive articles 1996-1998 for the completists." [Another bunch of URLs exploded into a fine mist of 404s...]
