It's a good time to be a geek.

Work supplied us with new HP Tablet-PCs.

I immediately installed Ubuntu as my OS. And all I can say so far is that I love it.

Running OpenOffice and PenOffice onboard and Google Apps for Educators on the Cloud. Got my Delicious (a brand spankin' new account, no less) and Diigo add-ons working the scene on Firefox, and got Tweet Deck handling four different Twitter accounts.

I'm one happy teacher.

Now, I'm looking into what to do for my personal machine. Leaning towards a higher-end Ubuntu-running netbook.

It's a good time to be a geek.

ps -- Just a reminder that the 'Concerning Tech' contest closes tomorrow at midnight EST.
