it’s been a while since my last blog update.. i guess I’ve just been really busy these past days.. ::sigh:: i don’t really have much to say right now. actually i just woke up.. LOLZ! anyways, I’m off to freshen up.. see you later.. 
oh yes, August is just around the corner… well guess what? it’s good news for us hard working Filipinos! what is it then? two long weekends… that’s right, it has been declared that August 20 and August 27 will be holidays! Ninoy Aquino Day is normally celebrated on the 21, but this year it has been moved to the preceding Monday giving us a longer weekend.. National Heroes’ Day is celebrated on the last Monday of August and naturally falls on the 27… obviously i can’t wait.. LOLZ!
The mailman came by today and i got two packages.. First was the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) CD’s that i had requested. To tell you honestly it was rather quick this time around. That is, compared to my previous request for the 6.06 version.. hehehehe! I kind of felt like taking pictures… So here are a few shots..
Btw, if you want a copy for yourself, just register at https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and request the package you want. The best part of it is its FREE!!
Oh, and my second package? Well it was my SSS id… I really look freaky in the picture so never mind that.. LOL! Better just stick with the Ubuntu for now…
well, obviously this commercial was banned.. funny though! LOL
One Laptop Per Child, a.k.a. OLPC, hopes to bring inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world. And guess what? They are now considering the possibility of allowing these $100 machines to be purchased by the general public. And yes that means you! For them, it’s not about the money, but rather hopes of bringing inexpensive laptops to poor kids around the world.
OLPC is considering the plan that the computers would be offered to customers who would have to purchase a minimum of two laptops at a time — with the second going to the developing world.
So, you might be wondering what the specs are right?
-500MHz processor
-128MB of DRAM
-500MB of Flash memory (no hard disk)
-four USB ports
-wireless broadband
-Linux-based Operating System
-dual-mode display (both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3× the resolution)
not bad for 100$.. i wouldn’t mind getting one..
Time magazine has chosen YOU and ME, the web users, as the “Person Of The Year” (2006).
The official magazine cover of the issue looks like this:
Who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I’m not going to watch Lost tonight. I’m going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I’m going to mash up 50 Cent’s vocals with Queen’s instrumentals? I’m going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion?The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME’s Person of the Year for 2006 is you.
