There and Back Again

I am writing this post from my new toy – the Asus eeepc!  It is way freakin smaller than i expected it to be.  The keyboard actually works quite well, i had no problems getting my passwords typed correctly when logging in.  Although as i noticed when starting this post, you have to force yourself to keep your hands in a good typing position and use your fingertips to type with, otherwise it gets messy.  Things i like about it – it is amazingly compact and easy to travel with, it has a webcam for skyping, and it is fun!  I can even watch all my videos on it!  although it is only a 7 inch screen.

Maybe my day pic will be a picture of the eeePc, until then, more playing for me. 

I don’t know if anyone else has been following this, but apparently there have been at least two major undersea cables cut that feed the Middle east with internet access. If i recall it started early this past week. Here is some information about it:

I am posting this because not is it only a good thing to realize if you don’t know it, but it has a cool picture that shows all the major internet connections around the globe. sweet!
