Sweet.
The first working models of MIT’s $100 laptop (the One Laptop Per Child project) are out and were presented at the Seven Countries Task Force Meeting last 23 May 2006.
The colors are nice — how very, uhm, Ubuntu. (The prototype runs on Fedora Core 5, though. ;))

‘Chatspeak’ as type
Here’s an interesting exercise: what if ‘chatspeak’ has become part of mainstream English? How will we treat ‘chatspeak’ characters? See how these typography people did it.

Twiddle-dee, twiddle-dum
Got back from the Cagayan de Oro City conference. Turned out my poster paper was one of the finalists in the “Best Poster” competition.
Too bad I wasn’t able to enjoy the place because I was cooped up in the conference venue all day, and I was too tired to roam around at night. Well, next time around, I’ll bring my family.
Got new work assignments this month. Have to freshen the “look-and-feel” of the CMS site and introduce separate pages for different user types. Also have to refurbish the VClass front page. I’ll also have to look under the hood of the SMS-database interface.
