I wanted to take a moment and mention The One Ring. It's a project that caught my eye a few weeks back, after reading a post in the telepathy mailing list. Today Ed Page, the founder of the project, made the official announcement.
"The One Ring is a plugin (Telepathy Connection Manager) that integrates Google Voice into Empathy, Maemo 4.1 RTComm, and Maemo 5 RTComm."
The features include support for Google Voice contacts, sending and receiving calls to and from any number, text messaging, and much more. Check out the announcement at
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=488632.
For the official website and download, please visit
http://theonering.garage.maemo.org/download.html.
One thing I would like to mention is that Empathy support is still very early in development and may not work (I haven't been able to get it completely working in Karmic) so good luck!

Ubuntu User Days is a set of courses delivered over IRC in one day to help beginner and intermediate Ubuntu users get around their system better. The next one is going to be this Saturday, starting at 7am EST. Join in to learn about things like installing Ubuntu, using the command line, reporting bugs, and much more.
I will be teaching a course on Restricted Drivers at 11am (which I still have to do some work for!) and hope to see you there.
For more information visit User Days in the Ubuntu Wiki:

Today, I have released a brand new personal website! The idea is to have a very simplistic site (as you can see). I'm going to be adding more relevant information soon, but for now, I felt that this was good enough to go up.
The site is built with Django, and the blog is hosted in Posterous. You can read more about me and the site at
