Hey everyone, I know I haven't posted in a while, so sorry. :( I have a few cool things I may post about but I'll start with Google Wave. I'm pretty excited for it to come out because it seems like a big step for online communication. I watched the first 20 minutes or so of their presentation on it during my lunch break and man does it look cool!

I just installed VirtualBox so I can do Windows development "work" without booting into Windows. As a matter of fact, I completely got rid of my Windows install, which I only used for a few things anyhow. Anyway, I don't know if VMWare Server can even do this, but with the "guest additions" installed in VirtualBox, I can full-screen my Windows install and use it seamlessly along with my normal Ubuntu desktop.

Hi gang, As of today (Sunday 4/12) I am releasing the ACM ScoreKeeper into the wild. For the uninitiated, it is a _very_ simple GUI score-keeper application that was originally designed for Spring Fling. (Since we're raffling off a game and not giving it to the highest scorer, it will instead be used in later gaming competitions.)

I'm sure that many of you have heard about the Palm Pre unveiled at CES 2009. It's a new touchscreen/thumbpad phone from Palm that utilizes a unique interface to manage applications and information.

Hello all,

You'll have to excuse my poor formatting for this post. I figured that it would be appropriate to write about handheld wifi from a handheld wifi device :).

I just wanted to talk about a couple of my favorite sites. Feel free to contribute to the list! Tech News: Engadget - This is a tech blog that mostly covers gadgets and other fun things. From cell phones to Macbooks, it's all here. Sometimes it's good for a laugh as well. Slashdot - I think most people here are familiar with Slashdot. If not, here it is! Instead of news about gadgets, Slashdot likes to cover science and tech in general.
