Another beautiful morning; whiskers of fog hanging on the hills, giving way to a perfect blue sky. I live in a magical place.

I have a piece on opening source code in cars and devices. I feel like it's not one for my blog. This is so important.

If you're an open source expert who wants to help organizations open their source responsibly, let me know. I think we can do some good.

Love to the families of the 15 people tragically killed today, and the 365 other people killed in mass shootings so far this year. Horrible.

Fine, fight to keep your guns. But you have to own these atrocities. They are part of the culture you're trying to preserve.

The death penalty is not justice. It's one of the most baffling things about this country. How can you say you love freedom, and do this?
