Asus Eee and Bothy Culture

Okay, two quick things. A while ago I mentioned my blossoming love for Vye computers and their ultraportable laptops, particularly the mini-v s37. Well, I've discovered something better. The Asus Eee. I really want one, especially seeing as my current laptop (an old reliable iBook G4) has got a broken screen, so portablility is limited.

Secondly, I've also fallen in love with Martyn Bennett, a Celtic Fusion musician. I've listened to his album Bothy Culture twice in a row now, which is something I almost never do. It's amazing, and has everything you could ask for in an album - bagpipes, traditional Scottish melodies, flutes, fiddles, Irishmen, ouds, Scandinavian singing, poetry, pumping beats, cut up drum and bass samples... I really want to get his other stuff now. It's a real shame that he died in 2005, as he was so talented.
