Nice that they’re finally handing it over after letting it stagnate, but it seems like a waste that they ignored the group behind LibreOffice. Not a surprise by any means, but a wasted opportunity. Maybe in the future they can merge the projects again.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is playing on SyFy. At first I was curious because it's been so long since I've seen it. Now I mostly want to watch The Wrath of Khan instead.

Apple rebuts Amazon’s stance that ‘app store’ is a generic term
“Apple denies that, based on their common meaning, the words ‘app store’ together denote a store for apps.” Um, good luck with that.

I've located the slides from the 1989 Discovery space shuttle landing (first mission after Challenger) that I went to see with my mom, brother, and a family friend. Now I need to find a place that will scan them before the final shuttle flight.

Two new local restaurants and an ice cream place, a trip to the pier, pictures hung in J's room, bookshelves finally put in place and books unpacked…it's like we're moving in or something!

Gee, I love how these “secure email” services train people to click on links in email and enter personal info on a website in response to the promise of critical financial documentation.
I can’t say I’ll miss [Yahoo Buzz]
