HP Mini 1000 Mi

I love the HP Mini 1000 Mi because:

  • 10.2 inch wide screen + webcam
  • Great keyboard (almost full size)
  • Intel 270 processor
  • 2GB RAM
  • Solid State hard drive
  • 2.3 lbs.
  • less than 1 inch thick
  • It’s preloaded with Linux!

great graphics on a budget

I picked up a copy of Great Graphics on a Budget: Creating Cutting-Edge Work for Less.

Seems appropriate during this economic climate.


popurls widget

popurls is a web 2.0 mashup that collects popular news stories from other websites and gathers the top stories in one place for you :-)
I’ve been using this little mashup for the past year and it’s really nice to see them grow their features. They now let you create a widget that you can embed on your website which I just had to try!

How the widget works:

  1. Visit popurls and click on any news story
  2. If you like the story, share it
  3. The story shows up automatically anywhere you placed the widget
  4. Bonus: You can also have your stories show up on Facebook automatically.
