This is promising
A group of open source coders are working on an operating system that can run Windows applications. It would be most amazing if there was an alternative to Windows that allowed people to run the applications they're already used to. The biggest hurdle that any new OS faces is the dearth of programs available to run. It's all well and good if the GUI is pretty and to have a killer file system but it's pointless if you can't do anything with it. I've had different operating systems installed on my computers over the years -- OS2, BeOS, various flavours of Linux -- but they all ended up being replaced by Windows as soon as I needed to get some work done. Being able to be geekily cutting edge AND being able to run Photoshop would be the cats meow...

Could be ..
The streak in the lower left corner might be a pic of a meteor during the Perseid Meteor shower. Or a plane ... or a satellite ... or someone using a laser pointer. (Who would do that?)

While on the pool theme
Here is a picture of the flies on one pool table we played on this past weekend. The table was covered with them. Didn't seem to affect the play though.

Brian says "i'm surprised you haven't posted about kicking my ass yet". Good things come to those who wait. ;) Brian and I played pool last night and I opened a can of wup ass on him! It was great to play on the fullsized pool tables again just to see if all my and Katherine's playing during the summer on the smaller bar tables had helped or hurt my ability on the large tables. Apparently it did no harm at least. ;)
There ya go, Brian; I've told the world.
PS: This is blog entry 250!
