Community Matters

Yet Another Blog - this time at work, i.e., at Intel. It’s called Is this bugging you, yet? and focuses on issues around open source, both from a developer as well as from an ecosystem standpoint. Some overlap with this blog (maybe), but likely more focused on the topics that I care about in an Intel context (but certainly not expressing Intel’s thoughts on those topics).

As expected there are some rules involved when blogging at Intel that thankfully don’t apply when blogging under my own domain. Still the goals is to make this interesting, as the title might suggest :-)

Thanks for visiting!

Ok, I haven’t had a Dell laptop since the 11 pound Inspiron I was lugging in 2000, but still… the idea of a laptop exploding in my lap? I don’t know…

Thankfully I use a MacBook Pro as my work computer these days and Apple is quite clear about the fact that this Laptop is not intended for you lap: “Do not place your MacBook on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time”. Thanks, folks, after seeing the article above, I just might keep that in mind…

I’ve seen these on Comedy Central a couple of times now. VW ads that I think are supposed to be funny. They aren’t even on VW’s own website, but Karen found them on Adverblog. They are so terrible that they almost upset me. If you want to make fun of Germans (or if you are a German company that wants to advertise in the US by making fun of Germans), please at least try to get someone with a credible German accent. And have a story line that at least remotely pretends to make some sort of sense or be funny.

Maybe I’m just too old.

My main blog focuses mainly on my personal life and my family - the people interested in those topic are quite clearly not the same people who’d be interested in my thoughts on technology, open source, and the communities around them. Which is why I decided to split my blog in two…
