About Steven Rosenberg

| | Comments (2) |

I've been with the Daily News off and on for longer than is probably healthy. My most recent tour began in 2002, after two years at a trade publication, with my return to the paper's Features copy desk. Since September 2006, I've been blogging about technology at Click. In April 2008, I started writing a weekly tech column for the newspaper.

Since about March 2008 (things are blurring, big time), I've been a Web developer, working on the main Daily News site as well as this blogging platform.

I also write for Come on Feel the Nuys and Friendly Fire, and I have a handful of dormant personal blogs ready for anything I might kick out during a spare moment.

A quick perusal of Click would reveal that I'm deeply involved in the use of free, open-source software, including the GNU/Linux and OpenBSD operating systems and the many applications that go with them. I'm a contributing editor at LXer, which is the best place on the Web to find news about Linux and other open-source matters, and where you'll find links to hundreds of Click posts.

I wrote my first political pieces back in the early '80s while a student at Grant High School in what used to be Van Nuys for a photocopied newsletter called The Irregular Bulletin. Don't look — you'll never find them.

We've been following the development of the Gibbs Aquada for years while financial issues and drivetrain supply problems have kept the amphibious car from coming to production. Good news has finally been announced from the Gibbs camp, as it appears a finished version is ready to be sold in the U.S. The Aquada can make dreams come true, for those that can afford it. The Aquada is an amphibious car, a car that doubles as a water craft. A personal model has been a dream of many people since a Lotus Espirit was seen transforming into a submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me, one of the James Bond movies starring Roger Moore. It's quite a personal loan to get one, as it goes for about $85,000. It handles well in and out of the water, with speeds over 100 mph dry, and up to 30 knots in the water. The transformation takes 12 seconds, faster than the fastest short term loans, to get the Aquada into boat mode.
