"When you look at the world in a narrow way, how narrow it all seems! -
When you look at it in a mean way, how mean it is! -
When you look at it selfishly, how selfish it all is! -
But when you look at it in a broad, generous, friendly spirit -
What a wonderful world it is."
Big Mahalo to Gareth Au for making this available for our reader/dancers.
The latest stats: No one can catch up to Town Dancer, with three guest authors, they are too far out in front but in a couple of months one of those in the second tier will emerge firmly in second place. The Two Centers will make the difference.
They are Blogging Hawaii, Platinum Horseshoe and Dancing Nights. They all fluctuate by several hits on our erratic hit counters. Dancing Nights has the best chance for it has two Guest Authors now. One more will do it. The rest are just getting out of the single digit average hits per day, where most dance Web sites are. Again, the Two Centers are what will make the difference.
We seem to be getting a larger percentage of computer nerds in the Night Club Circuit, possibly because they are younger than the regular social dancer. Many are beginning to recognize Linux whose biggest disadvantage has been it has many very good programmers and they denigrate the GUI like in Windows and the MacIntosh. Also the fact that there are too many different versions which is confusing to most newcomers.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's desktop network effect advantage is weakening due to cross platform software packages such as Firefox, Open Office, and, for programmers, gcc. And of course, Apple's leading the way in mobile computing. Even some game makers could conceivably abandon Windows by releasing custom Linux Live CD versions of their games. Granted, there might need to be some embedded graphics support, but this need not be an insurmountable problem since many games only support a limited number of graphics adapters anyway.
Have you heard about Windows 10, free?

And they are thinking of changing the name of Phnom Penh.
Phat Chance.
