Mah' GLOBEs ;P

Apparently these skating sneakers do not cover "nerd-use". They're supposed to be for skating, yet, they do not hold up as regular walking shoes. My right shoe, after 2-3 months, now has a big hole in it's sole, and the sole is beginning to peal back from the shoe itself. Even the rubber-lining around the sole is beginning to peel off.

I'm hesitant to say this, but: DO NOT BUY GLOBE SHOES!

"The office" #4

Yeah, a new pic-shot from my cellphone, and yes.., that's a brand new Asus Eee PC 900 to the left.

Since my Acer Aspire One bit the dust a few months ago, I've been missing my UMPC privileges. And when I got a newsletter about a clear-sale, I drew out my credit card ;P

SpooOOooky

Morgue? Institution? Guarded prison? Containment center?

...or just a construction site outside my work office, in the dark morning hours of February? :-P hahaha, Norway can look pretty gloomy sometimes.

What's even more exciting about Everex, is their desktop computer featuring gOS, the "gPC".

I think "free computing" is becoming more and more attractive to a lot of users in the US. It's always been an accepted principal to use open source software in Norway, authorities are even considering "open formats" for official state documents nowadays. We've even seen groups and initiatives form as a result of open source software being more and more talked about in the media, etc.

I think this is all really encouraging.

Since I use all-Google web-apps for my daily 'webbing', this wouldn't be a bad choice, despite the extra $200 compared to the OLPC. This unit actually CAN do computer tasks, as well as basic gaming and emulation. Worth mentioning is also the 5 hour battery life expectancy, this really won my vote.

"gOS" on the web:
http://www.thinkgos.com/

gOS mezmerizes me. It is a complete platform to do basic computing, as well as development! ;) Includes desktop-shortcuts to well-known online resources and web-applications, from Google online apps, to web-based instant messaging services like meebo.com, and a lot more. Native, locally installed applications and environments include: Openoffice.org for office tasks, Enlightenment as a window manager giving the GUI a really updated and fresh look, the standardized web-suite from Mozilla; Firefox (browsing) and Thunderbird (mail), Pidgin and Skype for P2P instant messaging and the GIMP for image manipulation.

gOS provides a complete desktop environment for general use, without overloading the system with unnecessary overbloated software-packages.

gOS IS considered beta-software, but computer-manufacturers dispatching systems with gOS have all given positive feedback from customers, and the first stock at Walmart were sold out at launch and over 2000+ developers downloaded the distribution in the first 48 hours of launch. All good notions about this system. And using gOS, gives you freely available system updates, nice ;-) open source at it's best!

Allthough I'm still waiting for Acer's contribution to the Ultra Mobile-scene, this candidate has won my attention for the time being... and sporting all this hardware for under 2200 NOK, not bad at all ;P

In comparison, my Playstation 3 40GB cost almost double that.

Now ain't this some 3v0l shit.

*Ahem* OpenGL, anyone?

Now ain't this encouraging and interesting? ;)

Horde3D, a "next-generation graphics engine" for creating 3D-based games, seems promising. Their main focus is on a graphics engine that performs better with multiple characters in view at the same time (in "next-generation quality", highly detailed and shadowed), thus the name "Horde".
