“In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” I’ve had H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu” in e-book form on my Treo for some time now (reading it slowly in bits and pieces as I found myself with a little time to kill) and finally finished it. I was first introduced to the Chthulhu …
… at the theater is a Monty Python fan. I went out to see “The Dark Knight” and snapped this photo: I can just picture the French taunter taking on Batman … “I fart in your general direction you silly Dark Knighit!” 🙂 Gotta go … I’m posting this from inside the theater on my …

So it’s been three weeks since I got my Eee PC. Is the honeymoon over? Nope! I’ve spent the past three weeks carrying (and using) the Eee almost everywhere: taking it to work, having it in the car (in case I’m somewhere with free WiFi), etc. Even now I’m kicking back on the couch watching …

I’ve been following Asus’ Eee PC since it was first released late last year and was finally no longer able to resist its siren call. I purchased the Galaxy Black 4G Surf, deciding that the extra $50 over the 2G Surf was worth a) double the storage capacity (4gb vs. 2gb), b) user-upgradeable RAM, and …
