joining drop.io

It’s time again for me to make a career move. I know I’ve been flip flopping between .Net and Ruby… but this opportunity can’t be passed up.

OLPC Virtualized

For those who don’t know, OLPC is the “One Laptop Per Child” program going on where partners are trying to construct a laptop, simple enough for a child to use and cheap enough for countries to purchase for their children.
