Trying to describe a smell, a taste, a look? Need a good word? Want to see some choices? Take a look at this list:
The hits and visitor counts to ISpeakHindi.com have been growing steadily. Also, I have not done much site promotion and yet the site is showing up on other people’s blogs, on dmoz.org, and several other places. It is very exciting to think that after I get through some of the content generation, site clean up activities that I plan, then I can start working on site promotion and the traffic should really grow.
You have got to check out Virgin America’s inflight entertainment system:

However, unless you live on the west or east coast, you probably won’t be flying with them soon:

One username and password for all the sites that you use! Wait doesn’t Microsoft do that with Passport? Yeah, but what if you don’t trust Microsoft?
Hummm…. Well, what do you think about this scheme: You can choose any authentication provider be it a very establish, trusted company like Verisign or a niche player like www.MyOpenId.com. And any site that implements the OpenID protocol can use that ID.
This is something I have been wanting to see for a long time. Check it out at www.OpenId.net. Also, there is a wordpress plugin verselogic.net/projects
So, expect to see all my sites OpenID enabled soon.
1. Walter Bender met with Carole Wacey of Mouse.org. Mouse works with youth on technology mentoring programs. Children at Mouse.org are already actively engaged in authoring tutorials and videos about the XO and the older children (middle and high school) are interested in mentoring the elementary-school children who would be getting the XOs.
3. Villa Cardal: While anyone can watch videos on YouTube, children with XOs are posting videos. A video shot on an XO, “parto de una vaca (birth of a calf),” was posted by a 10-year-old child who is participating in the Villa Cardal trial in Uruguay (Please see www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=BOzBTGGVWNg).
5. $1 video microscope: A video of Mary Lou’s prototype microscope attachment for the XO video camera is posted on the web (Please see www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI28-IS9AII). In the video, she compares various LCD screens. The microscope, which has ~ 100× magnification, could be useful to analyzing water quality, among other things.
Had a wonderful day in Aomori yesterday. We went to the Mt. Hakkoda Snow March Memorial Museum, saw the statue of one of the survivors on Mt. Hakkoda. We went on a RopeCar ride (same as cable car), saw the Nabuta festival floats, ate at an all Japanese ran Indian restaurant, then bought our tickets for the ride back.

Compulab has introduced a fanless PC, roughly the size of a paperback book, that consumes a mere 3 to 5 watts of power. The “fit-PC” comes with Linux preinstalled, and is intended to fit where conventional PCs won’t, according to the Haifa, Israel-based company.
Compulab says the fit-PC is based on the company’s CM-iGLX computer-on-module (COM), touted as the world’s smallest LX800-based single-board computer when it was introduced last fall. The module has a 500 MHz AMD Geode LX800 processor, and is equipped with 256 MB of DDR RAM and up to 512 MB of NAND flash.
