There are three bits of blog-o-blog that I would like to make you all aware
of,

First, a preview of an interview that happened today with WorkFast TV at the
OLPC Headquarters:

Only a small clip

Secondly, there's a fairly positive story on a cnet blog about OLPC can
bring connectivity and a voice to indigenous people who have no voice
otherwise:
*Possibly NSFW in a National Geographic way*

And lastly, the XO makes an appearance in the long lived Homestar runner
flash animation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestarrunner) in it's 200th
email:

It's cute, but in the animation an XO is destroyed by pouring Mountain Dew
on the XO's keyboard. :D

*      Video responce anyone?  Plus drop test, oven test and
XO-in-the-freezer? :D*
