As if you need more proof, but Thursday night (May 4), Pearl Jam showed that they are the best band ever. After their televised performance on “Late Night with David Letterman”, Pearl Jam performed an encore concert for the fans at the Ed Sullivan Theater. And CBS is offering it (FOR FREE) on their website.

They perfomed (after “Life Wasted” during the show) “World Wide Suicide”, “Comatose”, “Severed Hand”, “Marker In The Sand”, “Gone”, “Unemployable”, “Present Tense”, “Do The Evolution”, “Why Go”, “Porch” (”I Want to Hold Your Hand”).

I think this shows that Pearl Jam continues to do this (create music) for the fans. Members of their fan club are given extras for being fans (and a measily $15/year).

This show is also a reminder that no matter how good their albums are, Pearl Jam’s live shows are second to none. Check out the video… enjoy.

KernelTrap has a new interview with OpenBSD creater, Theo de Raadt. This is one of the better interviews I’ve read with Theo. He discusses changes in OpenBSD over the last 5 years (since 3.0), the current, new release (3.9) and the next release (4.0). Theo talks about blobs (binary drivers) and getting documentation from vendors for hardware. Finally, they cover OpenBSD’s funding situtation, their calls for donations and even some previously unknown (at least to me) information about the infamous DARPA funding.

You already ordered your CD, right? And made an even small donation? Be sure to buy a shirt for extra padding for the CD case.

OpenBSD 3.9 has officially been released and is available for download. This is great news for me because not all precompiled packages are on the CDs. Release day means a wget to download the rest of the packages.
