Desktop Linux versus Windows XP shootout (Dec 21 2005 23:53 GMT) - In my last blog "Could Desktop Linux really be so slow?" I posted some interesting performance numbers of how a mainstream desktop Linux distribution like Linspire performed on a $100 PC. The performance results for Linspire Linux were quite a disappointment, so I decided to investigate further and ask you, the reader, what Linux distribution would represent desktop Linux better... I've decided that the best candidate for testing Linux desktop performance against Windows XP Professional would be SUSE Linux (the free OpenSUSE version), since it is a mainstream distribution and preload optimized in its default configuration. Here is a LXer article that criticizes this piece. |

Congrats to Dan Gillmor (Dec 21 2005 23:52 GMT) - A year and change after announcing his departure from the San Jose Mercury News, Dan Gillmor announced the formation of the Center for Citizen Media yesterday, a nonprofit think tank with a focus on the "grassroots media sphere" and "citizen journalism." The center starts out with two partnerships--one with Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and one with Harvard Law's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. That also makes Dan a double fellow--an I.F. Stone Teaching Fellow (Berkeley) and a Research Fellow (Berkman). |

Holiday music roundup (Dec 21 2005 23:52 GMT) - Two years ago, I put out a series of reviews of Christmas CDs, one a day for about a week, focusing on CDs that weren't the usual Jingle Bells/White Christmas fare. While I'm not in a position time- or inclination-wise to repeat that feat this year, I thought I'd throw out a couple of pointers to some interesting holiday tunes I've found this year.First, thanks go to Hooblogger and friend Zalm, who has been doing some really intense Christmas music posts this year: a series of posts on songs of hope, peace, and joy, with love yet to come, and a pair of iTunes mixes for the season. Thanks to his posts, I was encouraged to go back and revisit the Christmas album that the Blind Boys of Alabama put out a few years ago, which has some extremely cool moments. |

The Pops, Jesus, and Santa (Dec 21 2005 23:52 GMT) - Singing with the Boston Pops has been a mixed blessing this season. I've had to confront my lack of holiday spirit head on, but I've also been given plenty of exposure to the lighter side of the season--the side that is about excited children and Santa and cheery singalongs.It's sometimes difficult to reconcile all of the facets of Christmas. Yes, Christmas is traditionally among the most depressing times of the year; yes, it's a solemn religious holiday that observes the birth of Jesus, the arrival of a baby who would die on the cross as a replacement sacrifice for our sins and be raised from the dead in the promise of our ultimate redemption. |

Tis the season... for outages (Dec 21 2005 23:52 GMT) - I always remember Christmas as one of the most peaceful times in the blogosphere, and my stats back me up. So why does it seem that major blogging services are dropping like snowflakes right now? On the heels of the Six Apart outage comes a daylong outage at Kinja, the aggregator that powers the consolidated Hooblogs view (and, apparently, the Add to Kinja graphic in my sidebar. Ooops). I think these folks could use some IT service management software. |

WCRB on the block (Dec 21 2005 23:52 GMT) - Courtesy The Universal Hub, the news arrives that one of the radio stations in Boston that plays classical is entering negotiations to be sold to a local broadcasting corporation that likely only wants it for its spectrum and transmitters. Now, yes, those of you who aren’t in the Boston media market are right now sputtering, “One of the radio stations??? How dare you complain if your market has more than one station that you’ |
