Ratatat @ the Venue 3 September 2008
This was an absolutely awesome show. My lady-friend Julie posted about it in her blog here. We took plenty of videos but the sound was so distorted when we played it back that I am embarassed to post it. They are AMAZING live. Well worth the 2 hour wait through crappy opening bands, though I’ll remember to arrive late at my next concert.
Here are a few photos from the concert:
I look a little fat but Julie looks like a babe. Look at her blog for some samples of Ratatat.
Acer Aspire One Bluetooth Mod (Soldering Info) & Ram Upgrade
I have been in the market for a netbook ever since Asus announced their ~$200 laptop EEEPC way back, which started a major trend. And now that Asus has released a dozen or so models of the EEEPC and other manufacturers have released their own copycats, I gave the netbook market another look.
A recent article on Engadget caught my eye, revealing an announced price drop on the Aspire One to $350 for the Windows XP version with the 120GB HDD and 1GB RAM. I was interested, and when I saw a Best Buy coupon for $100 off any laptop and an advertisement showing the Aspire One in stock for the following week, I decided to jump.
