We had an event last night at a low income housing community here in Olympia. We brought some Nixbooks, gave them away and showed people how to use them.

These people are NOT technical and still all said that Nixbook was far easier to use than any other computer they had used in the past.

All these laptops were headed for the scrapyard, but now thanks to Linux are out there changing peoples lives. :)

My latest sock toy is finally complete: three headed hydra, imagined by 7yo and made by me. He's got six arms and three legs, which was a real pain to construct.

Entirely made from old clothes and scraps! Most of his decorations came from a pair of bejeweled gloves (the fingers are his legs). He has a pipe cleaner skeleton which makes him poseable. This was my first attempt at armature and I learned a lot!
