		<description>Hello,I don&#039;t usually leave comments on blogs since i am typically too busy with school work and it seems like folks only post gobbledygook, but I am trying to figure out which design you are using for your site. I&#039;m planning on making my own website for my girlfriend and am interested. If you notice this please let me know. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Jamie, 

Nice article, and I really like the spirit of the site.  

If you want uber cheap computing, buy a three year old PC laptop and stick Ubuntu on it.  Linux certainly is not for everyone, but if as you say you are a computer geek, then the learning curve should not be intimidating. And at the end of it you will have a reliable and modern OS.

If you grab something that is four, five years old, you might get it even for free.  No worries though, just use one of the lightweight window managers, or use one of the repackaged versions of Ubuntu like Linux Mint.  I have two machines I got for free, one i use as a NAS, web server and LAN services box, and the other, an old Tosh Laptop is used for www, email, IM/Skype, etc.  The only cost is a small amount of my time (no more than maintaining XP or Vista takes) and some electricity.  I will keep the OS&#039;s updated, which means an upgrade cycle about every three years and replace them when they stop working, which won&#039;t be any time soon.  Obsolescence in OS comes much faster than hardware failure.

That said, I spend money where it has impact.  I have a fairly high-horsepower machine for dicking around with games but this as far as I am concerned is a luxury not a necessity.</description>

		<description>Nice site you&#039;ve got here! You are in Kyoto?

I have subscribed to your RSS feed and Kiva is a mighty fine org.

I have only owned Apple &#039;puters in my life time because they are sexy.
