Only thing cooler would be if it had a flip up screen of some sort...strutting into class amidst all the snickers with this baby would be good times.

Happiness is not about life-business balance, it's about Life-Business Synergy.Successful people win because they love what they do. It's an ugg classic cardy tall article by Tom Reese in yesterday's Pacific Northwest Magazine about the Lake Washington wetlands near Seattle's Arboretum. I actually found myself ugg boots classic cardy gray strangely upset by the article. Not only because he's describing a place I've loved for ugg boots years, but because he so carefully describes the official ugg boots contingency of the natural environment there.Reese takes the bailey ugg boots uk pied-billed grebe as his touchstone, which is a good choice. If you know where to look, you can find the grebe's nest classic argyle uggs resting on the lily pads. It's exposed. It trusts to camoflauge to avoid disturbance. And the argyle ugg boots uk grebes there always make me worry because they're so small and tentative, with ugg boots shop so little to defend themselves. They're the perfect metaphor for our mini ugg boots stewardship of the natural refuges in our cities.Plus, the seventeen photos that mini ugg boots on sale accompany the article online are also astonishingly good. Much better than ordinary uggs ultra boots on sale newspaper shots. But you should go see for yourself.In this article, the good Vietnamese monk tells the story of counseling a young Buddhist woman who had fallen in love with a Catholic man, and was distraught because his family was insisting that she become a Catholic in ultra tall uggs order to marry him. After speaking with her, Thich Nhat Hanh basically gave his ugg classic tall purple blessing for her to enter the church, suggesting that if she continued ugg tall red to do mindfulness work, she could be a Buddhist on the ugg boots cheap inside, even while practicing Catholicism. She thought it over, and her reply is worth considering, as she short black uggs weighs the merits of the two faiths: “[Buddhism is] a tradition that is so embracing, so discount ugg boots classic short tolerant, so open, if I abandon it and turn my back to it, I am not a person of value. [By contrast, Catholicism is] a tradition sundance uggs on sale that is so strict, that has no tolerance, that is not able to understand, how could I formally identify myself sundance uggs sand with it?” http://www.uggcardyuk.co.uk/UGG-Bailey-Button-Boots-5803.html XYZ

What's scary is that I probably still have the C64 somewhere at my parents. My dad never throws anything away. I loved that PC as a kid.

An atom with 4GB DDR3 memory? This is effectively a beefy HTPC, which could do some light gaming. However, if HTPC is the only consideration, I would look at the Acer Aspire Revo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103266&nm_mc=OT... Damn them for not providing a price. This could be a fun little box, but I don't think I'd pay more than $500 for it with Blu-Ray. I would assume this comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, but Pro would be nice. I suppose they could also offer a Linux configuration. Just remembered, I want to sli up a second gtx285, so I'd probably skip this in favor of more video card goodness.
