I originally made this post on the Omni forums because the situation presented valuable learning opportunities. Figured it's worth sharing here as well. Word of warning, though - it's lengthy.

My favourite part is that Australia's "president" is an athiest and a woman. That's about as far from American political palatability as you can get. *Edit* Oh darn, read the rest of your post to see that you'd already spoiled the surprise. Also, Heartsong and I were discussing Hilary's...

Probably going to pick up a surface pro myself. Seeing a fair fuss being raised about the base model being just a tablet with a keyboard . . . but I'm pretty sure that's how they were marketing it. Tiny, flat PC with a keyboard, though? Definitely worth a look.

It's alright, Ucan: you've outgrown his tastes.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

I'm just being facetious. Unfortunately, I've not the time to play much of anything these days (tried to power through borderlands 2 in a day, but that was a fail); basically limiting myself to Hawken and Planetside 2.

Any recommendations on a dumbphone?

Figured I'd leave a link to this kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grin/grin-the-unauthorized-biography-of-a-cheshire-cat From the Omni site: "Our friend Kahn from 57th requires some kickstarter assistance. He has written a book concerning the origins of the Cheshire Cat...

And for those out of the loop, the song's a play on this story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19319240 My favourite bit? "On blogs and Twitter, users have also poured scorn on his biological view, and expressed concern that he is a member of the House Committee on Science."

Because I'm not a lamewad, I've installed only graphical enhancements. Far too lazy to list them, though. Also, video:
