Welcome
After starting the Redblog back up this past September, it is time for yet another expansion. I will now be blogging at michaellarabel.com, where you will be able to find the latest GNU/Linux hardware information along with more of my personal thoughts. With that said, I will not only be blogging about ATI's performance under Linux but also that of NVIDIA's.
I will also be blogging other technical information and whatever else comes to mind. Phoronix will stay the same, it will still offer Linux hardware reviews, editorials, and much more. MichaelLarabel.com will only serve as an outlet for sharing more of my personal thoughts and other information that is not covered at Phoronix or the Phoronix Forums -- such as passing along pieces of exclusive hardware details and random Linux tips. When the time comes, I will also be passing along information on other ventures I am currently pursuing. Advertising on this site will also be limited.
This blog is powered by a modified version of PHXCMS (the in-house Phoronix Content Management System). One of the new additions to this version -- that Phoronix.com doesn't currently offer or the Redblog -- is an integrated commenting system. Readers are able to directly comment on blog entries without needing to register. One of the limitations at this time, however, is the lack of basic HTML or BBcode support for comments (though that is only a matter of time until it arrives).
If you run into any technical issues, browser compatibility problems, or anything else with michaellarabel.com please contact me or post a comment to this story. In the coming days and weeks, some additional tweaks and alterations will make their way onto michaellarabel.com with add additional features and any bug-fixing.
I welcome any feedback or suggestions on whatever else you would like covered with this blog. Some additional blog entries are planned for the coming days, while a great deal of the new content will start to flow in next month. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this new resource. Be sure to tune into the RSS feeds for the latest information. This blog also supports micro-summaries with Firefox 2.

No PhorBlog?
Michael... Is this a first for the name? No mention of Phoronix in the name :D (after Phoronix, Phoronix Forums. Phoronix LCH). I am surprised you didn't call it PhorBlog, but I suppose it makes sense since this is a personal blog. Good luck and am looking forward to staying tuned to this new creation of yours -- I am sure it will turn into a great success for being a Linux blog.

Welcome
Good luck with this project. From what I have seen, the community could really use more high-level commentary on Linux graphical topics. Please include some kind of benchmarking information, with your testing procedures and source code. There are many graphic card options for Linux, and not many comparisons. How big are the advantages of using closed-sourced solutions, is one frequent question. Do not forget about XGI's and VIA's open source graphic card drivers, whose solutions are often forgotten with the all the excitement and press around Intel's upcoming G965 chipsets. I look forward to reading your work!
