In the last year these little computers have become a big hit.  The past couple of weeks I have had three friends get a new Netbooks.  Personally I carry my laptop around with me, so having a netbook just doesn’t suit me.  For them however it was a perfect solution.  Portable, cheap, and they run Linux.  What more could you want.

How about not to be screwed over by cell companies selling Netbooks at a “subsidized” price with a two year contract.  The computer industry moves too fast for this to be a sensible option for the customer.  Yet AT&T, Verizon and others are doing this.  These computers are Netbooks, which means they are cheap, and underpowered.  How does anyone expect these computers to be usable in two years?

I would personally not even think about getting a subsidized Netbook from a cell company.  They are going to lock you into a two year contract, paying $60/month, and in a year you’ll have a messed up slow computer.

Thanks Jerks!

The week leading up to Outerz0ne was crazy. We spent many hours working on the new Photobooth. Big thanks to Tim for a crazy design which I firmly believe he sold his sole to Satan for. Bob was awesome, he spend many hours putting the thing together. Venkat did a great job on the new software. Greg, Scott, Justin and I’m sure a few others also helped get this project done.

We had planned to leave Thursday night for Outerz0ne, but as the week rolled forward, it started looking like Thursday night might be a work night for everyone involved.  Indeed it was, we worked late into the night, then got up Friday and continued to work.  We finally finished working on the thing at about 6pm.  Once it was done, we promptly tore it down, packed it up and stuffed it into the car.  Then raced to Outerz0ne.

This was a great project to work on, and I believe it is far better than the first one.  This photobooth actually breaks down and folds up under the seat.  The only components that do not fit are the computer and curtains, but I think we have enough room under the seat for the curtains.  There are a few areas which need improvement, but these are things that can be taken care of fairly easily, and hopefully can be done right without being rushed.

Below are pictures taken while building was taken place, and here is the link to the pictures the Photobooth took from Outerz0ne 5

Not really in a writing mood right now and since lists are easier here you go.
