A low-cost, connected laptop for the world's children's education.

So, I have been reading articles on this "$100" laptop , or XO Laptop, which doesn't actually cost $100 rather, close to $200. If you haven't heard about this little piece of technology, check out this link to their main site. I find the xo laptop really cool because it was designed with children from developing countries in mind. The One Laptop a Child (OLPC) aims to provide more opportunities for students from developing countries by exposing them to affordable technology. Technology that, for its price, can help and ultimately empower the children to learn, and also to expose them to this rapidly evolving, global information millennia. One more cool thing about it is that it has a built-in video camera, microphone, memory card slot, graphics tablet, game pad controllers, and a screen that rotates to a tablet configuration. Plus, it's spill-proof, dustproof, rain (/water) proof and drop-proof.

Starting today, November 12, the OLPC organization is selling this laptop to the US market for $400 for 2 weeks. Why $400? Because by purchasing one for yourself (your or whatever), you are also purchasing a second one to be sent and donated to one child in a developing country. A third cool thing right? Honestly, I want to get one for myself haha

14 year old beatbox? COOL.

Mon, remember cruz? haha nakakmiss yon.

These are totally from elsewhere, and they're blowing my mind with their stunning attention to detail.

A wonderful site that has a host of literary bijoux.

Learning to Love You More is both a web site and series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Yuri Ono designs and manages the web site.

Participants accept an assignment, complete it by following the simple but specific instructions, send in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and see their work posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments is intended to guide people towards their own experience.

Since Learning To Love You More is also an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings and radio broadcasts presented all over the world, participant's documentation is also their submission for possible inclusion in one of these presentations. Past presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum in NYC, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Aurora Picture Show in Houston, TX, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Wattis Institute in San Francisco CA, among others.
Since LTLYM inception in 2002 over 2000 people have participated in the project.
