Hi! My Name is Rick...

I am a jack of all trades who doesn't know when to quit and has no time to worry about risks. I do what I feel needs to be done and live life with no regrets. I enjoy reading, writing, MMA, keeping reptiles, traveling, self improvement and technology. If I had to describe myself I would say I am a man of many facets..

THIS IS MY BLOG...

This is where I put all my incoherent ramblings for the world to read. This little site filled with random thoughts, opinions and facts is an extention of myself. If you are worth the air you breathe you will read every last post, comment often and check back daily to see if I have added any more content.

In this months issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine an article was published on the “Land Warrior System”. This is a combat equipment system being implemented by the U.S Army for what sounds like a test run on a deployment to Iraq by A Stryker brigade from Fort Lewis, Wash.

So what’s the big deal you ask? The big deal is that instead of running a proprietary operation system, this futuristic combat equipment is running Linux. Here is the link to the Popular Mechanics article on their website:

Though it does not mention that it is running the Linux OS you can see the Linux mascot “Tux” in this picture in the top left corner.
