Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Thursday, 2024.11.21 
The second best thing about space travel is that distances involved make war
very difficult, usually impractical, and almost always unnecessary. This is
probably a loss for most people, since war is our race's most popular diversion,
one which gives purpose and color to dull and stupid lives. But it is a great
boon to the intelligent man who fights only when he must - never for sport.

Project Valour-IT – 2007

It’s time again to contribute to Project Valour-IT (Voice-Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops). Like last year, I’ve kicked in $100 and joined the Marines (gotta support the boots on the ground) lead by Soldiers’ Angel – Holly Aho.

This is a good use of technology. The voice recognition software is quite impressive and continues to improve.

Please note:

Division among military teams is purely for the purpose of friendly competition. Any blogger may join any team and all money raised supports the wounded as needed, regardless of branch of service.
