nokia n810 vs asus eee

 

n810:

n810 (from engadget.com)

  • fits in my pocket
  • enough pixels to surf, write and watch video (800×480)
  • decent price (400-something)
  • but has no phone or decent keyboard, which would enable me to write fast enough to use it as a tool to take notes
  • personal dislike: it’s a nokia.

asus eee:

eee

  • it’s a small enough computer (book-sized, 900gram) that i actually could carry around easily.
  • runs linux/ubuntu
  • decent price (~300 euro)
  • big enough keyboard for fast typing
  • not available with scandinavian keyboard and european power adaptor yet and no bluetooth

i might get myself an eee though, should the price stay around 300e.

others have written more about both n810 and eee.

dennis kucinich vs ron paul

this is the day i noticed – i mean, took some time and listened to what he says – dennic kucinich. he’s a democrat running for president in the united states. he reminds me of the republican candidate ron paul, who also happens to call him “a good friend of mine“. they’re both opposing war as an instrument of policy.

hot about paul: 37,000 people donating $4,2 million to him on the “ron paul day”, 17,000 of them being new donators.

what’s not: i just get a creepy feeling about praising the dead.

hot about kucinich: FLILF.

also,

[wolf blitzer] congressman kucinich, i believe you’re the only person on the stage who had a chance to vote on the patriot act right after 9/11, you voted against it, right away.

[kucinich] that’s because i read it.

what’s not: he claims to have seen a UFO.

dennis kucinich vs ron paul? tough choice, but an intriguing one!
