An anonymous reader on slashdot wrote "NewsForge.com has a story up this morning about the City of Austin and the results of their pilot program on OpenOffice.org. The bottom line is this: they have found that more than 80% of the city's 5K desktops can use OO.o instead of MS Office. Let the migrations begin!" I would just like to give props to my hometown of Austin for leading the charge in this country to migrating government to a cheaper, more secure alternative to proprietary software. Can you image the amount of money our country would save if it utilized free software more widely?

Reading and Watching

Kings - Season One
What in the first 3-4 episodes made me think this could be the next great TV show, the last 6 episodes made me sad for how quickly it turned sour.

Weeds - Season 4
After another season in the 'burbs I was losing interest. Weeds was just getting too dried out and stale. But Season Four really turned the season around for me.

Caprica
There are things I like, things I don't. The production is excellent though - which is why I will tune in this Fal.

Religulous
Yet another documentarian, like Mike Moore, whose ideas I 100% agree with, but whose delivery hurts the message. Everyone should watch this film.
