That would be _just_ awesome. Wine Application DB - Viewing App: Dragon Naturally Speaking 9
I wonder if it will let me program in Emacs through dictation?
UPDATE: Darn! I have Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.5, which does not work. Boo. Back to VMWare, then…
Always wanted to write a kernel device driver but never got around to it? Now you have no excuse! Check out the Linux Driver Development Kit, which includes:
everything that a Linux device driver author would need in order to create Linux drivers, including a full copy of the O'Reilly book, "Linux Device Drivers, third edition" and pre-built copies of all of the in-kernel docbook documentation for easy browsing. It even has a copy of the Linux source code that you can directly build external kernel modules against.
Totally cool.

I'm sitting in the Linux Caffe working over a wireless connection, having just polished off another cup of their excellent hot chocolate. And it's not just any hot chocolate, mind you. It's open source and version-controlled through an internal Subversion repository.
It's really a geek haven. Computer books fill the windows and the shelves. Laptops are out, open, and plugged in. Assorted penguin buttons are on sale.
It's a great place to run into people. On the way in, I chatted with a biologist who's working on bringing the ideas of open source to genome research. I'm sitting across a geekette with mad AIX skills. David, the proprietor, is always fun to chat with about everything from the local geek scene to the latest chocolate concoctions.
I think I've found a good home for my get-togethers. I want to get to know a lot of people, and I want them to get to know each other, too. It's difficult to entertain at the Graduate House because of the security restrictions and the way our suite is laid out; I don't have enough space to entertain. Hosting get-togethers at the Linux Caffe promotes something I believe in, offers people more variety and choice, and makes it easier for me to focus on people.
Let's make that happen. Next Friday, I'll have a get-together here. I hope to eventually turn that into a lecture series, so that I get to learn about interesting things from very interesting people. Perfect... =)
If you're on the GNOME windowing environment, check out nafai77's blog entry about Deskbar. Totally cool. It's almost like Quicksilver for non-Macs.
