Surfer Dude

The new Matthew McConaughey movie is called Surfer Dude filmed in Kauai. What a beautiful place to film a movie and catch a few waves. This is an interview he with one of the local stations via satelite from Los Angeles. Make sure you watch it to the end and find out how he decided to use his famous phrase, Alright, alright, alright.

eee PC

I am so excited Matt got me a eee PC for our anniversary and I got it in yesterday.  It is so cool.  I threw it in my bag this morning and took it to work with me today.  I played a couple of games on my lunch break.  I really like how small it is.  The keyboard of course is a little small but I will get use to it.  You have to press the keys a little harder than a regular one but I will get use to that over time too.  I have not figured out how to turn off the finger pad so my thumb hits it sometimes and sends my cursor flying.  It is perfect, however for my 2 year old daughter’s fingers.  It does not get that hot so I just keep it in my lap with no problems.

When you tilt the screen back it gets a little top heavy so you have to angle it right to get it to stay upright on your lap but when it is on a flat surface that is not an issue.  The start up time is fast but the power down is a little slow.  I have only had it for about 24 hours and I seem to be adapting very well.  All in all it is a very good buy for the price so I am very happy.
