7 My good friend ArjunSarwal recently made the [[http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/26/0541205 | Slashdot front page]]
8 with his story about [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cow_Power| Cow Power]]!
12 ==== Crank, Crank! ====
14 Today we got this pleasant surprise.
16 See the movie: [[OlpcCrank/StephenReillyCranking.mov]].

29 ==== The little computer that just won't die! ====
31 OneLaptopPerChild is not enough. There should definitely be

36 Look [[OneAmigaPerChild/OneAmigaPerChild | here]] for additional details.
37 A big thankyou to MicheleConsoleBattilana for providing a free copy of
38 AmigaForever, a fine tribute to the coolest platform ever!
42 ==== The XaoS strikes back! ====
44 I enjoyed bundling this OldSkool activity for the XO:

48 See: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XaoS
50 It certainly needs some more sugarization work for which I have no time.
55 ==== Haiku Laptop ====
57 Today we shipped our machine affected by dlo#5575 (touchpad mostly unfunctional)
58 to Japan for further inspection by ALPS. Just before closing up the plastic case,
59 I've left inside a little fortune cookie for them:
63 If you're wondering what it means, it's a piece of japanese poetry called a HaikuPoem.
68 ==== Trip to Walden Pond ====
70 This really happened on Monday 31st Dec, but who'd go read last year's blog entry now?
72 So, Adam, Arjun and myself went to this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walden_Pond|Walden Pond]]
73 place, where the famous American poet [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau|Thoreau]]
74 lived in complete isolation for 2 years in a cabin made of wood.
76 [[WaldenPond1Small.jpg|Arjun (left) and Me (guess who?)]]
78 On this very nice lake, I stupdily tried to run on the ice and fell badly, hitting my jaw
79 and cheek on the hard ice. Little cut, big bump... no permanent consequences. Maybe I
80 should consider a health insurance?
