Zevia - soda made with stevia

Zevia is a cola that uses stevia as a sweetener. I've been wondering if anyone would do that, and now someone has. It can be ordered online or you can see what stores carry it. The nearest store for me is 30 miles away, but I'll see if I can get there some weekend and review it.

Remastered Beatles CDs in September

September 9, 2009 is the release date for remastered versions of 12 Beatles CDs, comprising of original and new liner notes, photos, and more. This coincides with the release of The Beatles: Rock Band.

I'm not sure if I will purchase any of the CDs, since I already have the originals, and a friend is planning on getting The Beatles: Rock Band. I may just have to take the day off.

Gentoo kernel upgrade breaks eth0 interface

I recently upgraded my kernel (mostly due to a recent gcc upgrade) from 2.6.25 to 2.6.27 in Gentoo. When I booted into the new kernel, I received an error of "network interface eth0 does not exist" and to check the kernel to ensure that networking and the driver for the device were enabled.

I was a bit mystified, as things worked just fine in 2.6.25 for my Intel gigabit NIC that comes on the Intel DP965LT. Apparently, it looks like some cards were handled by the e1000 driver until the e1000e driver was considered worthy for production. I switched my driver from e1000 to e1000e, rebooted, and everything was working again.
