Happy Birthday, Martha Graham

What works of dance do you like best? I'm a sucker for the movies Singin' In The Rain and Tap, and I love watching Riverdance (although Michael Flatley leaves me cold). Dick Van Dyke can basically do no wrong, and it's a good thing that I don't actually have to choose between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, because I'm not sure I could. And here's a little Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr. to make you just smile your ass off.
ETA: Yes, Virginia, there is a Google logo archive.

Google Chromebooks

I can see use for it, for writing, web browsing, and other non-intensive uses that normally require an iPad or a netbook. You'll have to be online for some stuff, but ever since Google Docs allowed you to save offline that's really not an issue. Looks as if everything's going to be coded in Chrome or HTML5, which will have some advantages and limitations as well. Bluntly, we will never have enough cheap, reasonably powerful machines to get people online. You want gaming, elaborate creation (e.g., full music DAW, Photoshop, Vegas Pro 10), high-end multimedia? This ain't your box.
Interesting? Interested? Couldn't care less?
