    Also,

    I want the fireplace that Flynn has in Tron Legacy.

    I suspect the redesign is to blame:

    It's kind of amusing how fleshbot has stayed pretty much consistent.

    I'd say you're correct, on both counts :D

    Seriously, it did kind of astonish me how the lines worked out on that picture--and it's a great way to dress up a picture of a badly pitted razor.

    I'm going to be keeping my eyes open for a junk razor to repaint, now. I'm thinking black grill paint with some glow-in-the-dark highlights might look pretty darn slick.

    I wonder if grill paint would work and keep the razor useable?

    I wish I could afford a powder-coat set-up.

    Reddit's down.


    I guess I'll actually have to work today.

    wow... very busy morning. I am only now logging in while I eat lunch.

    I have to make a decision.. Would I rather have a netbook for my classroom or an iPad. I am really having a hard time trying to come up with needs for an iPad (16gb version). Any ideas? Yeah, I know the iPad costs more; however, is it more useful than the netbook? The netbook would probably be an Acer Aspire One D255.

    I really like my emachines branded acer. I find it to be quite versatile. It's probably more versatile than the ipad, in that it's a bit more open for running different stuff on. That said, if you're going to just use it for a few dedicated tasks, the iPad can be pretty cool. Some things you need to ask yourself:

    1. Will I be typing much--including web-browsing?
    2. Will I be standing much while using it?
    3. Do I want to be able to run the browser of my choice?
    4. Do I need flash video (sites like youtube)?
    5. Do I need to print?

    If you need to type much on it, definitely get the netbook--a real keyboard is much preferable to a touch-screen keyboard.

    If you'll be standing most of the time, then the iPad is a better fit, as you can cradle it in one arm and navigate it with the other hand much more easily than you can trying to hold a netbook and type on it.

    The netbook is going to offer you more flexibility when it comes to browsers and other software.

    As far as I know, the only way to watch youtube is using a special app on the ipad (this may have changed, but I'm still thinking you might have trouble accessing some video sites on an iPad).

    I know I've seen workarounds for printing from an iPad, but really, who wants to have to deal with hacking that together, when it should be a fairly simple process?

    There's my 2ยข anyway.

    It should be noted that I am generally biased against mac products, but I kind of want an iPad in spite of myself.

    Just went through my first interview in a long time. Man I suck at these things, my throat and mouth were as dry as the Sahara. Hopefully I didn't goof it up too bad.

    A lot of what you wrote I have been considering already. However, as this is a book adoption freebie and I already will have two laptops in my classroom... the iPad allows me to do something that I don't already have.

    I know it will be a hassle (to say the least) to have the school techs strip off windows 7 starter to put something that works with our network configuration. We will already be asking them to do that with an HP Probook.

    Yeah... I know what you mean. I never thought I would have an iAnything and here one is being offered by the book company.


    Hoping for the best for you!

    You probably did better than you think you did.

    Either way, it's over now, so sit back, relax, and congratulate yourself for not passing out during the interview!

    Hopefully good things will come from it!

    I know what you mean, but I have played with a few ipads, both 1 and 2, and, surprisingly, it's one iArrogant product I could see myself potentially purchasing, IF: it had flash. That's the main sticking point. I hate itunes, and that's the main reason I've never gotten an ipod of any flavor (the new, square nanos are kinda cool, I could see myself using one for workouts, but that fragging itunes....), but I could overlook that.
    Still, no flash is a killer for me because there's several sites that I visit that use flash.
    So, not worth it for me, but if it's "free", I might would say maybe....:D
