Well, its that day of the year again, so get your haunts out. Its that time when candy, costumes, and fun are the name of the game. Halloween is the single most popular pagan holiday in the world. Listening to a The World radio program today they discussed Halloween in Transylvania where they enjoy the holiday deeply and consider Dracula the countries greatest ambassador.
This is also the time when a wide range of pagan groups, namely Wiccan covens (witches and warlocks for you who don’t know) get out the vote with celebrations for the Winter Solstice. While I don’t have any personal experience in pagan ritual, I’ve heard that Wiccans are generally misunderstood and don’t practice dark magic, but instead hold the land of its offerings as revered.
No matter how you enjoy this holiday, revel in the thrills and chills, stay safe, have fun, and for God’s sake, DON’T DRIVE DRUNK!

You bought that MacBook but what you really wanted was a tablet. Feh at Apple, though, since they don’t make one. Axiotron, however, does make them but they sell them already made into tablets… at least until now, that is. Thanks to Axiotron’s ModService you can now get your exisitng MacBook converted into a ModBook for about US$1,300. Unfortunately, there’s no indication of how long it takes, though my guess is that they swap your hard drive from the system you send in a slide it into an already configured ModBook. Hell, that’s what I’d do. Then again, they do mention that you take it to a locally sourced, authorized ModService provider.

OMG! I knew there were a lot of netbooks out there and more are seemingly being added every day, but I had no idea there were as many as Liliputing, a boutique website dedicated to the little compys, has in its database of systems. Keep in mind that not all of these (read: most) are available in the US. There are, however, plenty of importers out there who will ship systems to you. Some will even load a US operating system on it for you. Of course, Liliputing also has a whole load of systems they are vending via Amazon, which is carrying a surprising number of systems from HP, Acer, ASUS, and Sylvania. Wow.
