I have become a major fan of the Ubuntu Linux-based operating system. I have now converted each of my desktop and laptop computers from Windows to Ubuntu. The major benefits are Stability, Safety (not virus-ridden like Windows), Simplicity, and Speed.

Ubuntu can transform a slow buggy Windows computer into a sleek and high performance Linux computer. There are many other benefits as well in terms of usability.

I will keep a set of Ubuntu installation notes of my suggestions and experiences.

Some day I will invent a Discussion Meter.

This device will sit on a table during a business meeting, and it will track how many minutes each person has spoken, number of interruptions each person makes, speech volume (average and standard deviation), etc. More info.¶8:20 PM

I watched the Red Sox beat the Yankees at Fenway Park last night, braving the cold past midnight. My son Michael was also at the game, but sitting with his Mom on the other side of the park. Mike and I were texting each other during the game....


Dad: Where are you exactly? If you draw a line from 3rd to home and keep going, you would hit me in the chest, seven rows from the field.


Mike: If u draw a line from u to me id be at the end
