People – Part 1

Jack Lhasa — Wed, 14 May 2008 08:33:57 +0000

I just wanted to take some time tonight and give a little promo to some of my favorite fellow bloggers. There’s a lot of talented people out there, writing away, and not getting enough traffic. Check out these sites, they are quality. So here they are, in no particular order. Now a lot of my friends already have huge followings, so I’m gonna try and stick to the ones that really need to the traffic.

That Tall Dude – Quality blog, not afraid to ask tough questions, and one of the most humble guys you’ll ever meet.
Twitter Stars – Mark Davidson is Web 2.0
Max Gladwell – Max does some great stuff on ecological and social change.
The Entropy Report - Scarab does a great job of gritty truth here.
Slap/Pop – Lou has got some really cool stuff going on here, but he needs to write more.
Chronicles of Beast – Beast is a pro-runner. Looking forward to doing the Vermont100 with him this summer.
Evil Science Chick – So cool it hurts.
Mellisa Maples – I just love seeing things from the Turkish bazaar!
prp2 - Peter is one of my favorite people. Great Stuff.
puntiglio - Again, Soren is one of my favorite people. Great stuff.
The Musings of a Young Intellectual – Christy does some incredible poetry here.

That’s all for now. If you were not listed, please do not be offended. I’ll be doing a “Part 2″ tomorrow!

This used to be so easy.

2007 Must Haves

Jack Lhasa — Tue, 22 May 2007 03:03:51 +0000

A lot of bloggers post lists like this, so I thought I would give it a try. Here’s a list of the programs I consider best and why.

1. OS = Ubuntu and Windows XP
– Ubuntu is awesome. We have our fights, sure. But it all works out in the end. XP I still can’t live without at the moment, but I’m trying hard.
2. GAIM.
– There’s really no other IM client.
3. Mozilla Firefox
– IE? What the hell is that?
4. Wordpress
– No one does blogs better.
5. Gmail
– Still got yahoo? Get rid of it. Archives. Archives. I cannot say that enough.
6. Winamp(on XP) and Amarok(on Ubuntu)
– Winamp? It really kicks the llama’s ass. Amarok is just cool.
7. Nethack
– After over 20 years, video games still don’t get much more fun.
8. GIMP
– Ubuntu or Windows. This is my all time favorite graphics editor.
9. OpenOffice.
– Covers all of my word processing and database needs, free, and works on both platforms.

That’ll do for now. Anyone have suggestions on great things I’m missing out on?

-Loki

(Consider this Ubuntu, phase 6)
