Unboxing the Asus U33Jc.
I've needed a new laptop to do music and art for a while. I really like my Atom based EeePC netbook but it just doesn't cut it for real-time audio synthesis in PD / Supercollider and the like.
I like Asus and I like bamboo. (Everyone said "Get a MacBook." I didn't want a MacBook.) So this was a fairly tempting choice.
I'm not sure about this strange, tech. striptease of the unboxing ritual. But as that's what people seem to be doing these days (and I have a box to un, as it were), why not go for it?
BTW, it took forever for Windows 7 to configure itself. And I've spent the last 2 hours or so just creating a restore DVD. WTF?? Anyway, watch out for the next post which will probably feature me swearing and cursing as I fail to get Linux running on it.

Linkfest!
Why your industrial applications should use open-source software, and how an open-source guy plans to hack together a free clone of a serious industrial piece of kit.
The Guy Who Worked For Money. A fantastic sci-fi story about the tensions between money and whuffie (attentional currency) in an attention dominated world. I'm impressed how sophisticated the understanding of this has become in some circles.
