The top command is a utility to see what processes and resources are being used on a system in real time via a terminal. Personally I use it constantly to check on the health of my web server when connecting remotely. The Geek Stuff has a writeup: Can You Top This? 15 Practical Linux Top Command Examples on 15 great things you can do with the top command. Even though I use this command all the time I seldom use these more advanced features, but I will certainly keep the article around for reference.

This video makes me want to smoke on a Delta flight just so I can be reprimanded by the safety lady.

Researchers at the University of Washington have put together a software stack for Android that allows the collection of data in the absence of significant infrastructure. It is a simple idea, but one that is made possible by the open nature of the Android platform. This kind of innovation is possible when you provide the tools and documentation to make it possible. I hope to see a lot more of this type of innovation from the Android project: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/11/getting-developing-world...

ArsTechnica has a great article up covering the x new technology will destroy y current thing that everyone loves phenomenon over the past 100 years. It may come as a surprise that these objections raised by content owners are both not new, and also not predictive of destruction of that industry. It is hard to argue against the idea that the cassette tape did more to help the music industry then it did to harm it. An interesting read, check it out: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/10/100-years-of-big-content...

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these devices and play around with it. The next few years are going to result in some REALLY cool new phone/computer mashups in the device world.

Ok seriously the Ticketmaster sittuation has gotten WAY out of hand. Check the breakdown of a recent purchase I made:
Are you kidding me? it cost me $14.39 just to buy a fucking $20 ticket? Does anyone else see an issue with that? Why the hell didn't they just tell me the ticket cost $30. It would be a lot easier to swallow a $5 service fee on a $30 order, then a $15 fee on a $20 order.

This is really neat. Especially if you consider the irony of a robot doing the forms perfectly, but robots don't have any Chi... or do they!? Thanks to Sara for sharing!

A cause that has touched very close to home for me over the past several years is the fight against blood cancers. Every year we The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society organizes a walk, the Light the Night walk around Greenlake in Seattle which I attend to show support for those in my life who have been impacted by blood cancers. Several years ago a good friend of mine lost her struggle with cancer. Her story can be found on the site of my good friend Luke. Be warned it is a very emotional story. http://www.asianpersuasion5k.com/myangel/index.html If you can please consider donating to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thanks in advance!
