Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

[vansmack]

Awesome.
 
 And I'm pretty sure it's slobbenzhenobben.

[miss pretentious]

smackie... sweetie...
 
 will we have fantasy football this year? plz. plz.
 my new office is lame and i don't think i'll have anyone to play with if we don't do one here.

[vansmack]

I don't actually run the board's fantasy football league because nobody on this board wants to play for money.  Oh wait, you weren't callling me sweetie...nevermind.
 
 I will absolutely run the Survival Pool though.  And if you're the one guy who hasn't paid me yet, don't think for a second that I've forgotten about you.

i'll be happy to commish another fantasy football league, if people will have me as their commish.  
 
 and fyi, smacks, we did play for money - buy-in was $20.  might even up it this year.

A friend turned me on to...poor choice of words...told me about La Pequeña, describing her/he/it as "a disabled tranny dancing around to random music, sometimes as Hilary Clinton or Amy Winehouse, other times, she/he's totally random."
 
 It's totally safe for work, but you will definitely feel llike a shower when it's done.  And then you'll click the next.  And the next one...

Smackie - thought you might wanna catch this.
  coldplay on the today show
 
 Coldplay played an awesome set this morning at the Today show. their soundcheck at 6:30 in the morning was pretty cool, but theres no footage of it (at least not that i found yet). charming as always. cant wait till october.

I think telling me yesterday would have been more efficient....    
 
 I did DVR the Today Show this morning for smackette who was already at work when this was on.

She meant the sound check was not available - she knew the show was available.
 
 And yes, Chris Martin sounds like shit at 7 AM.

my reply wasn't directed to xNWx... it was just a general "vid available here".

[vansmack]

Righto.  My bad.

  What I really want is a ~$300-$500 wireless internet-only device the size of an ultraportable laptop with longer battery life.  It should be flashed based with limited storage no thicker than an inch, touch mouse and full qwerty keyboard.  It doesn't need an expensive processor or much RAM as it's only going to do one thing - surf the net.  No fancy game graphics driver because it only has to deal with streaming quality video. I don't need any drives, no gadgets or goodies, no extra software other than reader plug ins.
 
 It would stream all media but not allow for on-device storage (other than simple OS and browser plugins).  That's what the one USB port would be for - flash drives for file storage.
 
 If all of this can be packaged in a device the size of the iPod Touch, why can't I get one the size of the ultra-portable laptop?

Bam.  Just like that it hits you!
 
 The Eee PC.  Starting at $298.
 
 Store everything on my Home Server or on an web drive.  Beautiful.  Only took 5 months to get there...
