Microsoft Demonstrates Windows XP on the XO →

I’m starting to get the sense that they should have shipped Ubuntu or equivalent with a dedicated suite of apps.

The author mentions me as David Pell’s Partner. I would like to assure you we are not. Though I’m flattered. I am pretty proud of the Vacuum-Robot I drew for the site. Except this guy thinks it’s a Coffee-Robot. Hmm, maybe I will have to change how the dirt looks in his canister.

Hillary Clinton enthusiastically picked a filly named Eight Belles to win the Kentucky Derby and compared herself to the horse. Eight Belles finished second. The winner was the favorite, Big Brown. Eight Belles collapsed immediately after crossing the finish line, and was euthanized shortly thereafter.

This is a really great ad. I’ve watched it several time today, because it has a clear, uplifting message. It also doesn’t take cheap political potshot. This is why I’m attracted to the Obama campaign.
