OLPC now in production, order and help a kid

September 24th, 2007 — 11:30am

So I just saw on some news feed that the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) is actually now in production.

If you go here, you can sign up to purchase two, for $399. You receive one, and one is donated to a child. What a great deal. (Actually you go on a mailing list, and you’re contacted Nov 12th.)

I was looking at the specs, and I just know this will be linux’ed in about 3 weeks after it comes out. And Ultra Low power laptop, with a power generating attachment of some sort, that has only flash memory and 802.11b/g support?! Why not!

Stock up on ammo

I did a serious double take when I looked at my news feeds today. Look at this headline:

Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village

This is how zombies get started, people. Stock up on the essentials. Barricade the doors.
