Today the new Zaurus models only sell through selected channels in the US, but apparently you can get the most successful Linux-Zaurus model, the SL-5500, for real cheap (Geeks.com sell it for just $140 ).

He?s a total geek ? a costume-dressing, trivia-spouting, shows- Ravenous -to-all-his-first-dates geek. I mean that in a friendly, even admiring way.

Alejandro Escovedo's Revival Meeting (Washington Post) Texas punk/alt-country survivor Alejandro Escovedo is the kind of musician who instantly sorts the geeks from the civilians: Either you admire him (and you've got a box full of No Depression magazine back issues, and you know the bit rate at which your music files are encoded) or you've never heard...
