Monday January 21, 2008 
While we were in China we spent some time on the Great Wall at Mutianyu. In the gallery there is a "You are Here" mark on the
map. We hiked (or more like climbed) from that point to the end (the 20) and back. You can see un-restored wall at the end.
(FYI: Courtney took the large picture above)
OLPC Pictures
I ordered/donated an OLPC XO-1 as part of the Give One Get One program
these are the pictures that ThinGuy scolded me for not posting a month ago.
These pictures are from un-boxing the OLPC and booting it for the first time. I have enjoyed using it. The keyboard is a little small for adult hands (this is not a surprise or a criticism). The trans-reflective screen is impressively clear, the backlit screen is a little hard to read for small text (at least for me).
The packaging is sparse but solid, my favorite part of the whole delivery presentation is the warnings page, particularly "Not for use by Infants."
All in all I am glad I donated.
The whole gallery
Network.com in Vegas (belated)
I have had these pictures sitting on my laptop for about 1/2 a year. I pulled a couple out for a screen cast that I still haven't published because the audio blows. I have been doing a better job again on publishing pictures shortly after I take them. Network.com is the Sun Grid Compute Utility, I have a few pictures from the on site work.
