I splurged a bit and got the EEE with a webcam. It also has longer battery life. This means I can do video chatting in Skype. The keyboard is taking some getting used to but I think eventually I'll get the hang of it.

I have been saving up money for a trip to Scotland but plans fell through for the moment so I got myself a shiny new EEE 4G Surf. Thanks to NewEgg being so close it got here in a day. I also picked up a 1 GB stick of RAM to replace the 512 MB that is included. Memory sure has gotten cheap. I took a bunch of pictures but oddly enough the memory card reader I ordered was shipped from Jersey so it isn't here yet. So pics are coming soon. I really dig it so far.

I've so far avoided any anti-Clinton posts, but I couldn't resist this. Her campaign has accused Obama of plagiarism, but then she tried to copy Obama's "Yes we can" chant, changing one word. Her supporters didn't seem to take the cue, though:

And I can't help but mention that Clinton failed to give credit to the ghostwriter who helped her with It Takes a Village.
