What does it have to do with Linux?

On December 20th, 2005 Val (not verified) says:

Mr. Searls,
This is worst of your columns. Sorry. It is mostly re-prints from websites. The Linux Journal could have printed links to those websites and save a few trees. You also failed to show how Linux or FOSS helped (if any) company keep running in all this chaos. Sig and his team would have had to work hard to protect M$ Windows servers as well.

Still interesting

While I agree with you Val that it has little to do with Linux, I have still found it as a very good and interesting read. We all know how complex and fragile IT infrastructure can get these days and it's nice to see how others manage to make miracles even under the toughest times.

But yes, where's Linux in all that info? C'mon Doc.. :)

There's nuttin like a Cool Project to give you some relief from the summer heat, so get out your parka cuz we got a bunch of em. First up is the BUG, not a bug, The BUG. It's got a GPS, camera and more, in a hand-sized package that's user programmable. The BUG does everything. It's both a floor wax and a dessert topping. Get one now. Need a software version of a Swiss Army knife? Take a look at Billix, and don't leave home without it. Then, chew on this one, an X server on a Gumstix device driving an E-Ink display. Need more storage? How about 16 Terabytes? Can do.

And, of course, we have the usual cast of characters: Marcel, Reuven, Dave, Kyle, Doc, plus the new kid on the block Shawn Powers. But it doesn't stop there: build a MythTV box on a budget, build your own GIS system, set up the tools to monitor your enterprise and more. Finally, remember The War of the Worlds? Now you can play too.
