Love this demo video of the MikroKopter. The GPS integration in the device is slick, and I love that it’s an open source, DIY device. The parts aren’t even all that expensive considering what they are, but as a project it’s still a little too pricey and time consuming for me to tak on right now.
Take a look at the video through the link, and I guarantee you will be impressed. I also wouldn’t be surprised to find you browsing the MikroKopter wiki afterwards, scheming and planning on how you will build your own.

Google has released their own programming language, appropriately named Go.
I haven’t had time to dig deeply into this yet, but I’m seeing some interesting stuff that I like such as fast compilation, garbage collection, easy to read syntax, built in support for multicore machines and of course an open source BSD-style license. I’m looking forward to playing around with this when I can free up some time to do so.

This is a cool open source project. I don’t think I’ll be spending the $500-$1000 to put together a unit myself any time soon, but I’m very pleased that the option is available to me.

Wow, first the Netherlands, and now Norway (although to a lesser degree). The dominoes begin to fall. Are you nervous at all, Microsoft?

This is a really great analysis from James Bennett on some of the questions that have been circulating lately regarding the future of web standards. He suggests that we might look to the open-source model for guidance on how to proceed. I share a lot of Bennett’s views on this matter, but as always he writes it far better than I ever could.

While I’m not huge fan of government regulation, I have to admit that I really like this policy.

That didn’t take long. The hash in the new iPod’s iTunesDB has been reversed engineered. No doubt it will all be rolled into libgpod, and run as an automated process on affected models soon. In the meantime, this is the workaround if you have an affected device.

Google joins the Open Invention Network, which means it will now cross-license all of its Linux-related patents with all the other members of the OIN (e.g. IBM, Sony, Oracle, etc.). This is good news for innovation, although I’d be more excited to see some commitment to GPL or even more permissive licenses like BSD, MIT or Apache.

This is a pretty good interview, discussing the importance of the flexibility of Linux, GPLv3, Microsoft and other hot topics.

Distributed social networking is certainly a neat idea, and one that a lot of folks have been kicking around for a while too. The thing I’m shocked about is that this project doesn’t seem to be leveraging the existing standards available to it. What about just utilizing OpenID to handle user logins across sites? What about microformats? The developer mentions possibly incorporating FOAF, but not much else.
When I get more time I should look into this more, although I’m more interested in getting a standardized specification for this sort of thing rather than one specific example of a way to do it.
