gacked from brisingamen, ( what degree should I get? )

I don't know whether to be insulted or not, to be honest ...

oh, wow

this is just so cool -

The laptops are powered with a wind-up crank, have very low power consumption and will let children interact with each other while learning.

wind up laptops for the third world for $100. We should all buy one* at *$200* minimum, so there will be more funding for these.

more at BBC News.

*except, apparently, we can't.

it's a gorgeous day out there

lovely and sunny. I was good, and hung the laundry out at 9 a.m.

went out to check it a few moments ago, and it's still as damp as when it went out, with the added bonus that it's actually cold as well.

I hadn't realised just how nippy it was until I noticed the birdbath - it still has a 1/2" layer of ice in it, despite having been in the sun.

the laundry is now in the tumble dryer, and I'm back in the warm.
