Avairy launches dodo

Google:
Google announces gDay in Australia (http://www.google.com.au/intl/en/gday/press.html), a new beta search technology that will search web pages 24 hours before they are created.

Google Docs – A little easter egg was added, where a user can click the file menu and directly under new document is “New Airplane” which immediately opens a copy of a Google branded paper airplane.

It’s Pink!

When we decided to get the 64gig Solid State HD for the laptop, we planned to get a USB powered HD to go with it for carrying things like music, photos and large project files etc. I went shopping today and discovered the 160gig model came in pink! I was planning on getting a 250gig model but decided to sacrifice the 90gig for cute :)

The hard drive is tiny! It fits nicely into any bag carrying the laptop and powersupply. It comes with its own little black sleeve, which has a spot for the usb cable (so I don’t lose it!).

My exciting new toy

My laptop finally arrived today!!!

I don’t win the prize for the best photos but it is late so I might get some better ones later.

brushed aluminum full sized keyboard and very nice screen. On screen is the small flash script I had to write for work to dynamically stick a word in a sentance with a different colour and glow then the rest of the sentence. I’ll try to post it this weekend. The exciting bit is I could write it while waiting before band and finish it on the couch when I got home.
