XOXO

By clock on December 23, 2007.

On Friday morning, there was a bang on the door and the UPS guy shoved a little cardboard box into our hands. Yeay! Our first XO laptop arrived. It is my wife's, and she named it Svetlana, after the character played by the commediane extraordinaire Iris Bahr. I took the opportunity to try out my present, the Pentax Optio T30, to take pictures of the grand opening. Then, in the evening, there was another knock on the door and my daughter's XO also arrived, so I had to take a few pictures of that as well (all under the fold).

The two of them have been chatting between each other and exploring their new laptops all weekend. Apparently, it cannot play movies, so if you go to YouTube it loads the movie forever - if you know the trick, let me know.

Fun times in the Big City
So … this weekend, we had an odd and informal secret meeting of the SciBlings in New York City.

It was decided…
