Sup guys.

So I got the first comic up. I've been trying to think of ideas for more comics, but I just have some pretty dumb ideas. But, maybe I just need to get those out so that there is room for the good ones. I need a more exciting life so I can include it in my comics.

Any astronauts out there that want to trade places?

Yah, well today in animation class I learned about bits and bytes and binary code. I kind of understand how a computer works now.

Apple released some new products today, and being the nerd I am, I was excited, but very let down. The new ipod boombox is pretty ugly. Seriously, if someone spent 300 dollars on an ipod, why would they buy a 400 dollar "boombox" with absolutely no funcionality except with an ipod or other mp3 player? New 100 dollar leather case for the ipod? What the heck are they thinking? Just because it has an apple logo on it? And new Intel Mac Minis...they just made their cheapest computer more expensive.

In other news, there is a video going around about the new Microsoft Origami (Go to youtube.com and type in Microsoft Origami and watch the video) it's pretty sweet. I heard somewhere that the one on there is like a year old prototype so it should be much better. It's a touchscreen tablet. Also I read a thing about Windows Vista. It sounds like it is going to be a pretty sweet OS from the article and screenshots.

My English teacher told me that I didn't look like a nerd after I told her I was doing my research paper on the history of the internet. It's going to work side by side with the graphic novel I am writing.

I am almost done with the 5th Harry Potter again. I hate that Umbridge woman.

Goodnight.

hey hoang-

There still isn't much to know. I think March 9th we will know a little more.

It's not a computer replacement. Just a oversized Palm Pilot. With cooler graphics. And you can play real games on it. I dont think it's to replace laptops. Just an organizer that is hooked to the internet and can sync with your computer.

probably going to be pretty expensive...especially if its not a laptop replacement AND laptops are going for so cheap these days. pretty expensive organizer too.

id like to see it in action.

fo sheezy.

thats why I'm getting me a macbook pro at the end of the summer. Then, wait for these tablet pcs to go down in price, Apple will come out with a sweet one but will be probably as much as a Mac laptop.

I read somewhere that Microsoft didn't licensce their tablet pc windows to anyone. I guess they want to get into hardware.
