Welcome!

You have reached the online home of Michael McCallister. As I write this on Saturday, January 30, 2010, I am building the fantastic, informative site I've been promising for years now. So hang in there for about a week - yes really. Until then, here are a few things you can do.

• Read my technology blog, Notes from the Metaverse on WordPress.com. Posting has been extremely light of late, but that's changing too.
• Last spring, I spoke at the WritersUA conference in Seattle. I co-presented a session on open source tools for technical communication. Here are my slides. For one person's view of my talk, check out Ffeathers. Unfortunately, I can't make it this year, but I do highly recommend this conference for technical communicators.
• Pre-order WordPress in Depth from these booksellers:
  • Amazon.com, where a tiny percentage of your purchase goes to help sustain this site.
  • Barnes & Noble (even if they still don't have the proper authors listed)
  • IndieBound.org: Buy from a nearby independent bookstore!
  • Powell's Books

  Much more about this title next week!

• Buy openSUSE Linux Unleashed from Amazon , Barnes & Noble, or Powell's. This book is a substantial update from SUSE Linux 10 Unleashed, covering v10.3.
• Follow me on Twitter, Identi.ca or FriendFeed.
• Connect with me at LinkedIn
• Download openSUSE 11.2.
