I really wanted to do a proper, long and detailed wrapup post for SXSWi but I’m not going to because there was just so much going on and it’s still digesting in my mind what transpired in Austin. That and I’m really tired due to a day at the airport, flight delays and BBQ withdrawal….
As in I’ve had it for 12 hours….not a 12 hour long review….although there are a lot of pictures. Obviously I haven’t had it long enough to really put it through it’s paces but here’s a bunch of photos and a few thoughts. As with all Apple products, the packaging alone is a fantastic customer…
A friend sent word that you can now put a full linux desktop (KDE) on the Nokia N810 tablet. This was in an effort to convince me to buy an N810. Check out the video and screenshots and the how to. This is already a pretty sweet little device and this just makes it even…
Always curious to try new things, I figured I’d try out Ubuntu (gutsy) on my eeePC. The nice thing about Ubuntu (and many versions of Linux these days) is that they are available in ‘live cd’ versions which means you just boot up the cd image that you burn after downloading and then you can…

Found this great video of someone (Paul, the EEEasy.com forum admin) in the UK unboxing his eeePC: via EEEasy.com forums
On Saturday, I attended the first MobileCamp Vancouver, held at Workspace which makes my second visit there in two days…if I didn’t already have an office, this is where I would set up shop. It really is a cool place. There was lots of things to talk about during the event – too many to…
Someone has put together an html demo of the eeePC’s easy mode desktop so you can see what it’s like:
Decided I couldn’t resist opening the little door on the back of the eeePC and upgrade the ram (now at 1gb from the stock 512mb) and the mini pci-e port. There was some debate as to whether or not the port would actually be there or not….appears to be in mine! Have pretty much decided…
Well, shortly after selling my Powerbook, I discovered and acquired an Asus eeePC – pronounced ‘E-pc’ – the three e’s stand for “Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play”. I’ve only had it a few days and can safely say that it has exceeded my expectations. It’s been fun taking this $399 wonder…
