Shopping for a new car makes the freshly born baby jesus cry.

In other news, I’ve had an awesome Christmas. Much gift giving and receiving.

My OLPC XO arrived yesterday. I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with not one, but two tiny laptops. But what the hell, toys.

On that note, I noticed that sunday’s Simpsons featured an ad for the OLPC G1G1 program. Which is odd, since the program ended two weeks ago.

Christmas shopping is probably ~80% done at this point. Which puts me far a head of my usual status at this point.

The Eee PC seems pretty cool. It seems to do what it claims.

I need to figure out some sort of shared storage and backup system for my personal machines. I have a desktop, and soon to be 4 laptops[1]. And I have stuff randomly spread across all of them. I need to at least consolidate the photo storage. And meaningful backups would be handy. Offsite network accessible storage would be nice as well.

The webhost account that I use for my mail seems to have been screwed up for the last 24 hrs or so. So I’m currently not getting email. Annoying.
