It’s been about a month and I have done a couple of mintCasts, a couple of Linux Luddites episodes and have been to see Jurassic World and Terminator Genisys at the Cinema. I also bought a projector.
Isaac has been giving poor people computers with Linux installed on them and has started a Raspberry Pi meetup in Washington, D.C.

Joe doesn’t understand why anyone would waste their time watching people play games on Twitch. Isaac sees things differently.

E-waste

Isaac mentioned a video of a man swatting down a quadcopter.

Grooveshark.li is dead and Joe hasn’t found a replacement yet.

We said we would link to a couple of stories about the geopolitics of remote islands.
