If you know me, you know that I’m a HUGE supporter of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) initiative. Here in Washington DC, Peter Corbett and friends are throwing the Technoliday Party. It’s a holiday party where the proceeds from the event go to support OLPC and the work that they’re doing around the world. Support OLPC and attend the Technoliday Party.
By the way…while you’re getting your check book out to support One Laptop per Child, watch some of the BBC’s awesome videos about OLPC project.

Already ordered mine on the first day. It is due to my place before Christmas.
Not sure what to do with mine yet. I figure I will be taking it to the local coffee shops near me in Alexandria and Del Ray to try and get others to see and order one too, before te end of the year.
After that I think I will try and design som sort of learning web based software for it.
