This road in Japan has grooves cut at different distances so that the road noise plays a melody when you drive over them. I want the Close Encounters of the Third Kind tones on my street! deputydog | the most bizarre musical instrument on earth |

The Georgia Tech Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is announcing that on May 15th they’re going to be holding their annual Entrepreneurs Showcase down near Tech Square in Atlanta, GA. ATDC is saying that the event is expected to attract around 500 entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders from across the Southeast. If I remember, last year was about 1/2 that or so - or at least that small conference room where the main presentation was couldn’t have held 500. This year’s event will be at the Biltmore Hotel, presumably because of the increased size of the event. Way to go guys!

I can't imagine the frustration of trying to learn a computer and having the keyboard malfunction, yet it appears that is what's happening with many of the One Laptop Per Child XO Laptops. Of course, it's still better than if Microsoft made them... then ALL they keys would crash :) I have played with a friend's XO, and it is neat. The daylight readable screen is something else. The keyboard is too small for my hands, even though I have thin, articulate fingers. I would surely use an external keyboard with one anyway (or a Frog Pad). Anyway, maybe they will get these glitches worked out before they Send me the laptop I ordered in November! :) Good luck, third-world-villagers.
