I woke up at 6:30am to get a jump on the expected long lines at the voting booths today. Utah is switching to electronic voting machines across the state. The early voting has had notoriously long lines and today should be no different.

Novell wants to hear your opinion.

There’s been a lot of jumping to conclusions and knee-jerk reactions in the community over the last 72 hours about the Novell / Microsoft agreement. If you are worried or have questions about the Novell/Microsoft deal, you should let them know.

I just saw this on digg.com and think that the best thing you can do as a member of the OpenSource community is to voice your opinion on things you care about. There’s a TID (Technical Information Document) that has a link to a third-party site they contract with to do surveys.

In addition to this, Ted Haeger, who hosts Novell’s podcast Novell Open Audio, will be doing an interview on the Microsoft/Novell announcement. He’s asking for listeners to provide questions to ask.

Here’s a link to his posting about the interview and how to submit questions:

OK, this is just too cool.  When I’ve lived in or visited Japan, I’ve seen several amazing things.  It seems they always tend to be intruged with the bizarre.  Whether it’s the Tokyo Goths or the amazingly yet ordinary mix of old with modern or the astute attention to detail, it’s one of my favorite places.  The food, art and culture are awesome.
