It shows that it’s not just nonprofits who are getting into the online video game, but also government. It is really making fun of this investment in video and while certainly they can’t compete on YouTube views, I think there is very good reason for our government to extend their PR work to web video.

Open Office works better on Linux than on the mac, as does thunderbird and firefox For a few things (mostly system/network tools) there are some incredibly awesome options, amazingly good for free (as in beer) software, and better than software you’d pay for.
