I have a dream…app.

Three weeks ago , I visited My Dream App, and submitted three application ideas for the contest. Over 2,700 ideas were submitted by a thousand or more people from around the world and I was one of lucky 24 to be selected as a finalist. My selection was announced today. From here on out, there [...]


Why did Apple pre-announce the iTV?

If you don’t know what the Apple ‘iTV’ is, take a look at the Engadget posting: Hands-on with the Apple iTV prototype.
Steve Jobs at the ‘It’s Showtime’ event: “But there is one last thing that I’d like to talk to you about today. Now this next thing is a little unusual for us. It’s a [...]


BarCamp Portland is coming!

Ok, one of the things I do poorly is personal blogging. With my open source blog, 451 CAOS Theory, it’s part of my job responsibilities. I make the time. With my moblog, Raven in Flight, I can post entries on the go with little effort. Rinzai suffers. Someday…someday…Anyway, I digress…This is just the explanation as [...]


The Holy Republic of Orev

I stumbled across NationStates this morning, a simplistic nation simulator, inspired by the book Jennifer Government authored by Max Barry. I am surprised that I didn’t hear of this “game” earlier as it has been out for over two years (and even my wife knew about it). Ack! This is my kind of game, too, [...]


It’s time for a moblog

It’s time for a moblog. With my Sony Ericsson K790a (Amazon) phone on order, I will have the ability to post photos from my phone directly to Blogger. I should be receiving my K790a in a week or two - the phone is just now being released in the United States.
The site, ravenzachary.blogspot.com, used to [...]

We live in Portland

After months of planning and lots of hard work (much of it from Mara, my wife), we have arrived in Portland, Oregon. We are Oregonians - Oregon license plates and drivers licenses already obtained. We’re in temp housing for the next few days while the hardwood floors in our house are being refinished.
This is [...]

I was blind, but now I synch

I used to own a BlackBerry…back when I worked for a company that had a BlackBerry Server. With the BlackBerry Server, I would get real-time delivery of my behind-the-firewall email, and could use the SSH client to login to my behind-the-firewall servers. When I left corporate life to pursue open source full-time in 2005 (first [...]

13F

I am noticing a trend - airplane seat 13F seems to be available more often than others when I travel. I took an earlier flight yesterday via standby and was given…seat 13F. The plane was packed, and yet a window seat remained available long after they are normally reserved.
I assume that the reason behind [...]

My glasses broke

My Staffan Preutz glasses broke today. These glasses have become a strong aspect of my persona - “Oh yeah, the guy with the weird/cool glasses!”. One of the titanium “arms” snapped in half when I was at the planetarium with my wife and kids today. Thankfully, I have a backup pair of glasses, but they [...]
