Being a musician and a parent

Combined Taihape School kids.

Plugs and stuff

Packing to go on holiday makes me realise how dependent I have become on my electronic gadgetry. I seem to have more plugs and cords than an electricians shop. If someone invents a single plug/cord for everything, they'd be on to a winner.

Another winner is sure to be the little laptop called Eee PC. Only $500, 900gm light and does almost all of what you want. Has Linux operating system and OpenOffice so it should run like a dream. I am sure I am not the only person who has been looking for just such a little travel-lappy for years. Be nice not to have to cart a brick around.

Tomorrow I head off for Taihape.
