Shortly after the "Wow" started in a Toronto subway station, J Carlos Navea spotted this on his way to class. A wall length Vista advertisement which had fallen to
While some street art can be absolutely beautiful, we wish the Linux faithful in T.O. would keep the spray paint in their backpack and do some constructive Linux evangelism.

Outside of the Microsoft Vista Ice House at Dundas Square on Friday I saw some Linux guys with a big inflatable penguin and handing out cds of Ubuntu and talking about Linux with people passing by.

Odds are people who know what Linux is will chuckle, and those who do not will forget about it within 5 minutes.

I don't know what's sadder here, the graffiti, or the geek who lives in his mom's basement.

Well...to let everyone know, the portion of the wall that had "Linux" written on it, is now stripped off (so now it's just the tiles showing...)
