So I picked up a new bit of kit today: an Acer Aspire One netbook.  Just got everything set up, downloaded and installed and so far this thing kicks ass.  I missed out on the original Eee mania when it launched (and yeah I know they just announced a touchscreen model at CES) so this thing is a revelation to me.  Exceedingly light, entirely usable keyboard, although I’m still getting used to the layout and a built-in webcam.

I snagged the 120gig (the actual size of the drive is bigger than that though) hdd model, as opposed to the SSD model which people have been complaining about, in black, of course.  The hdd is the same tiny-ass PATA drive that lives in your ipod so it is rugged enough to handle being hauled back and forth to class on the back of a Vespa.

So, expect some more blogging from this tiny little box of sex.  It’ll certainly make it easier to blog as things happen and to blog from interesting locales, etc.

Oh, and I’m now taking Arabic in a classroom this semester.  Crazy.
