The Inflatable Soapbox

Linux, Open Source, and Life

Now that I’ve become a blogger (still waiting for my certificate to arrive in the mail), I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time reading other people’s blogs (OPBs). I’m not sure if I’m researching or procrastinating, but I’ve found a number of things I’ll post here. Now, if I can figure out how pings and trackbacks work… I feel so old.

From ddsos.org, Technology is the root of all evil:

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog.

The man will be there to feed the dog, and the dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipments.

Yes, I’m a technogeek of a sort, and I love automating things, but I love this image.You’ll please excuse me now, I have to read all these cool blogs I’ve found before I can sleep tonight.

    Thanks, Lee, for the comment and the visit! I need to apply some of your techniques, though.
