Wub Wou Woo

While trying to figure out a better approach to getting users with screen readers options for trying Linux I found Wubi (http://wubi-installer.org/latest.php).

Wubi allows MS Windows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application. And the "how to get it" seem simple enough. It asks for a username (uses your current MS Windows login name as default) and password for the Ubuntu account, then begins a download of the latest Ubuntu version (default Ubuntu, optionally Kbuntu, Mythbuntu, or Xbuntu. This would confuse some users as there is no explanations of the difference in distributions):



I'm going to test it out with some novice users, but the execution seem slick.

Been on a walk-about

Been taking some pictures of activity around my apartment in Dupont Circle.

This is raw unedited and the hi-res aren't online - ask if you need a hi-res version.

Finally Someone Gets It

Or at least, finally someone in the Whitehouse gets it; Obama is doing "fire side chats".

Whether this is of his own making or from those around him, bravo!

We can also hope this marks a tone and supports the long-gone tradition of transparently open government.
