Neothoughts

Over at Touchpoint, I wrote about all of the open source software that we use on a daily basis. It turned out to be a lot more than I imagined. It made me appreciate all of the ways open source software makes my professional life easier.

But then I remembered that it also has an impact on my personal life. Lately I’ve been really enjoying an open source game called Frets on Fire, which is a clone of Guitar Hero that you play with your keyboard. It lets you create your own playable songs and also supports all the songs from Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II. You can even use the Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II controller to play it.

As well, Xbox Media Center is perhaps the open source software that I value most. It turned my dull old Xbox into a media powerhouse, and has gone on to rule my living room. Praise be to XBMC.
