Geeky Gifts -- an XO
December 26th, 2007 by kenf
It wasn't exactly a gift, but I wound up with an XO (One Laptop Per Child) Laptop.
It started when my wife and I decided to donate a laptop as our Christmas gift to her sisters. Then we decided to do the "give one, get one" thing and have one to use. Anyway, it's really neat! And there are several others in my neighborhood so I am hoping we can arrange a playdate for them.

If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
I am fascinated

I have been semi-obsessed with the XO for a while now, so yes, please share your impressions (photos and videos are welcome too ;) )

Yesterday I saw the One Laptop Per Child commercial (hey cool -- it's Hiro!) for the first time:
What a great gift all around. Have fun with it, Ken (psssst, you should review it for LinuxJournal.com). :)
