Product of Interest:

  • OQO - An ultraportable. It’s small. It’s got a good amount of space. It supposedly has good battery life (some reviews state otherwise, maybe you need the double battery pack?) And it’s got a built in 3G mobile broadband modem! Unfortunately, it’s on the steep end of the price spectrum. Still, this moves quite close to what I’m looking for in a portable computer.

Purchases:

I never would have thought about getting this based on the movie and CG animated series, but I read a little something on the net. It was unfortunately a bit of a spoiler, but if I didn’t know about it, I probably wouldn’t have tried getting the book.
After running into the names “Cthulhu” and “HP Lovecraft” so much in the past month, I’ve been seriously considering learning about the subject. Unfortunately, I didn’t know where to start. After chancing upon “Necronomicon: The Weird Tales of H. P. Lovecraft” at a local bookstore near my home, I checked it for reviews… and didn’t find any. I did learn, however, that the book supposedly contains all the Cthulhu mythos that Lovecraft wrote, so I thought this might be a good deal.
Now, we’ll see if this will be the one to get me into the horror fiction genre.

Currently interested in:

Apparently I’ve been living under a rock for the past year since I’ve never heard of the Eee PC until after I saw this webcomic. Up until reasonable mobile computing and internet access became affordable, I never considered getting a mobile computer. Now, with cellular modems and relatively cheap pricing, this is getting closer to reality for me. All I’m waiting for now is the right amount of battery life before I seriously consider choosing among the myriad of ultraportables now available in lieu of Eee PC’s success.
I tried the go-karts at Enchanted Kingdom last week and had a blast! I want to try it out a bit more, and hopefully the accessibility of Speedzone will help me out on that.

Other Stuff:

  • Watched “Forbidden Kingdom“, it’s so-so.
  • Finished reading “Rise of Endymion“. Ok, so there’s closure to basically everything since Hyperion, but the Endymion books are still very disappointingly below-par from Hyperion. Read only if you really need to know the answers.

  • If Sherlock Holmes has access to a PC, he’d probably use something that looks a little like this.
