I’ve always been obsessed with time and location. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated with how far away things are, or whether or not two events were taking place "simultaneously".

As you can imagine, Einstein’s theory of Relativity > did a number on me. I ate it up, and I count Bertrand Russell’s book on the subject as one of my favorite reading to this day.

Well, the latest manifestation of this obsession is my new GPS >. Not only does it sate my desire for knowing exactly where I am, what direction I’m heading, etc — but it also runs Linux.

Ah…life is good.
