The year of the netbook
When it's all said and done, I predict tech geeks will remember 2009 as "the year of the netbook." And, if you haven't heard of a netbook, you will soon. For people who use their PCs to surf the Web, check e-mail and do word processing, these little, cheap laptops might be the wave of the future.

Six D.C.
I suppose it's time to let you all in on what I plan on doing once I get to D.C.  And that's take pictures.  Thousands of pictures.  On vacation, I'll average about 300 pictures a day, usually pulling out about 40 ones I actually like.  I tote that camera everyw...
