As you may have heard the T-Mobile G1, also known as the first "Google Phone", will be coming to T-mobile on October 22. Since I've been in the market for a new cell phone for quite a while now I'm thinking this may be my next phone. This phone meets all of my must haves (in no particular order):

• EDGE or 3G data
• Wifi
• Music player
• Ability to write applications
• gps
• bluetooth
• 3MP camera
• GSM, and unlockable

While I'm typically not very fond of social networks I have to say that I do think that www.ohloh.net is pretty cool. Perhaps I like it so much not because of the "social network" part, but because it gives you a quick glimpse into the development of open source projects. It is interesting to see who and how many people have contributed to a project, or just how many lines of code there are. If you know what you are doing you could find all of this information yourself but it is nice having it easily available. I think the whole Kudos/ranking thing is a little silly and meaningless, but whatever. It is also kind of cool that they essentially build up an open source resume for you (yeah I know mine is currently pretty sad).

When some topics arise you know there is going to be trouble. The problem as it appears to me is that some topics simply don't have a right or a wrong, and it really comes down to one's beliefs. Of course when these debates arise both sides immediately site the proof that they are correct which of course cannot be done (If it could do you really think there would be two sides?). Sure it may be possible to convince someone that your side is correct, but only if that person is a potential swing vote.
