XO yo

Two kids using an XO laptop... one holding the laptop, kneeling and the other balancing his chin on the keyboard area Due to a recent gift for having lived 30 years now, I'm super-excited to be getting an XO laptop (OLPC XO-1) through the One Laptop Per Child's "Give one, get one" (G1G1) program.

Who knew that being geekily philanthropic could be so much fun?! I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of us out there with them... I can wait to start messing with it.

And geeks of the world, don't fret: Apparently, there are ways to get one if you don't live in the US or Canada... and G1G1 only lasts for two weeks!
