Hands on thought from Engadget:

-It’s not light. It feels pretty weighty in your hand.
-The screen is stunning, and it’s 1024 x 768. Feels just like a huge iPhone in your hands.
-The speed of the CPU is something to be marveled at. It is blazingly fast from what we can tell. Webpages loaded up super fast, and scrolling was without a hiccup. Moving into and out of apps was a breeze. Everything flew.
-There’s no multitasking at all. It’s a real disappointment. All this power and very little you can do with it at once. No multitasking means no streaming Pandora when you’re working in Pages… you can figure it out. It’s a real setback for this device.
-The ebook implementation is about as close as you can get to reading without a stack of bound paper in your hand. The visual stuff really helps flesh out the experience. It may be just for show, but it counts here.
-No camera. None, nada. Zip. No video conferencing here folks. Hell, it doesn’t have an SMS app!
-It’s running iPhone OS 3.2.
-The keyboard is good, not great. Not quite as responsive as it looked in the demos.
-No Flash confirmed. So Hulu is out for you, folks!

Essentially folks, it’s a big pimped out iphone!

This will be a detailed year of note taking and organizing, but on paper. I traditionally use Microsoft Outlook religiously. However, with using three different phones daily and forgetting to sync them up, keeping track of my calendar has been a tedious task. For 010, i’ll try something different, a Moleskine Daily Planner. Along with being used for the calendare purposes, it will be used for daily notes, ideas and all things tech related. We shall see how this pans out, as i still want to maintain the Outlook calendar on the side.

Redundancy is a good thing. I have a File Server that stores my secondary backups, software, movies, files etc. Now, as a precaution and the fact that i believe in layers, the File Server it self and all the data it contains is backed up to an external JBOD enclosure. JBOD is essentially a cheap version of mirroring. I didn’t want to spend to much on this device and it was only being used as a secondary unit. Plus, it was purchased for $40 on the Newegg.ca Black Friday sale.

New machine added to the list of devices.
I decided to go with this for easier and centralized management of the 5 machines located in my household (excluding 2 laptops)
An old motherboard was re purposed with 4 GBS of ram. Processor, Intel Core Duo 2 E6500. Case, Lian Li A05.
Backups run nightly for each machine and a hard drive restore is as simple as booting from a cd and selecting a restore image on the WHS. One can also mount the backup as a drive and restore selected files.
The below pic is the case i have (not my image)
