Hey shouldn't it be Linus's blog? You would only write Linus' blog if you were indicating plural possessive such as indicating that it is the Linus family's blog. Not sure about this one. Could it possibly be that Linus Torvalds made a mistake? I think so.

Either Linus's or Linus' is acceptable in current English usage. Source: "James's hat (James' hat is also acceptable" http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/621/01/
