…we ♥ web things
Ashley passed her driving test yesterday and is now able to cruise the roads from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
This picture was taken yesterday evening as she was leaving for her first adult-free outing as a legal driver. She went to crossroads with a friend.
Little does she know that the GPS unit will go everywhere she does to track her every movement :)
From Gizmodo…
U.K. firm Jade Integration has unveiled a computer so small, it fits into a wall socket and is powered via Ethernet. The Jack PC, a rival to the smallest PC in the world, can hook up to a standard monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and runs Windows CE, the stripped-down version of Windows often used in portable devices. It comes with up to 64 MB of flash memory and 128 megs of RAM, so don’t expect to play Half-Life 2 on it, but it should be able to handle basic Internet functions decently. There’s no word on pricing yet, but the device gets its official release on June 15th at the IT Works Show in Newcastle.

I think of this every time I lecture about spam (the electronic variety):
I just realized that people without tonsils have the ability to swallow more food at one time. I guess it seems logical with the difference in throat anatomy but who thinks about it? I would have spent my entire life not knowing this fact if it weren’t for my tonsillectomy last week…or what we like to call the meatballs-of-the-throat removal.
I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing for a person with normal eating habits but competitive eaters may want to take note.
