The most coveted piece of hardware seen at the Red Hat Summit: These showed up at the semi-exclusive, Office Space-themed RHCT/RHCE cocktail reception on Wednesday night before the IBM beach party. The table centerpieces also included ancient-vintage HP LaserJet printers complete with baseball bats. (I was a little disappointed we …
Seems like Rebound, the debut solo album by Justin Currie — who formerly fronted the criminally and terminally underappreciated Del Amitri — may see daylight around October 9. “Until then, I’d been living on my knees.” (And countless spins of the old records.)
