I present you Zeitgeist Addendum, the second film of Peter Joseph, the creator of the groundbreaking Zeitgesit, The Movie.

Stay tuned for a high quality download, subtitles and a personal commentary.

Happy Birthday to the GNU project, which turned 25 today and is celebrating with a video of English humorist Stephen Fry. In September 1983, Richard Stallman first announced the plan to develop a free software operating system called GNU. Today, in combination with the Linux kernel, GNU/Linux is a completely free operating system running on many millions of computers world-wide. You are using GNU/Linux every day when surfing the web, as it’s one of the most popular operating systems to power web servers, database servers, and the other infrastructure that makes the web work.

Happy birthday, GNU!

As I did a year ago for 2007, this blog will participate to the Blog Action Day 2008.

In 2008, the Blog Action Day theme is Poverty. Bloggers are free to interpret this as they see fit. We invite bloggers to examine poverty from their own blog topics and perspectives, to look at it from the macro and micro, as a global condition and a local issue, and to bring their own ideas, views and opinions on the subject.

For once I can agree with Micheal Arrington.

I’m tired of waiting - I want a dead simple and dirt cheap touch screen web tablet to surf the web. Nothing fancy like the Dell latitude XT, which costs $2,500. Just a Macbook Air-thin touch screen machine that runs Firefox and possibly Skype on top of a Linux kernel. It doesn’t exist today, and as far as we can tell no one is creating one. So let’s design it, build a few and then open source the specs so anyone can create them.

The idea is simple and it takes the right direction: simple, easy, cheap and open source. I'm all for that. If they can build it, I will buy it. If they need it, I can help ^_^

Follow up the discussion here.

I have a fairly active life on the internet. Though it is hard to manage all the different accounts I have (I can barely do it) I found it impossible to achieve a good level of communication between all those different services. Between crossposts, YouTube favs and twitters I was about to lose control over the situation.

Now, with friendfeed, I can easily manage all my internet activity. In one simple and good looking page I have everything I do worth mentioning, without having to do extra work of any kind. It automatically adds every element I give it using various feeds and integration APIs. It supports dozens of services, and for those often a nice thumbnail is displayed, or I can add a custom RSS URL.

So, if you are interested in my web activity, you can subscribe to my social feed and have everything in one place.
