Today is Linux's 10 Birthday. It was on this day, 10 years ago on August 25, 1991 that Linus Torvald for announced on the Minix mailing list that he was working on a new operating system based on Minix that would be open-source. Of course, some say that the true birthday is September 17th, which is when Linus first posted the source code for his new operating system. Regardless, if you have not tried Linux yet, and you have the technical know-how to handle it, you are doing yourself a disfavor by not using it. Once you start, you never want to stop. The BBC also has a story on the birthday.
A new asteroid has been identified, breaking a 200 year old record for the largest known asteroid. It hangs out over by Pluto, and also puts into question Pluto's classification as a planet. Many astronomers now believe that Pluto is not truly a planet, but a "minor" planet, because it is so small.
Frisbee is fun.
