its happening http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2008/11/15/2008-11-15_san_francisco_artist_looks_to_replace_lo.html not really a true replacement, still something good to come from a tragedy. She is a bona fide arrtist and ready for whatever limelight might happen her way.

Last year I got a G1G1, and i was impressed and amazed with how well it works as a travel machine and reader. I am unable to enjoy sharing between XO rigs as I live quite rurally in California and I haven't managed to hang out with any other XO users. I would like to get my daughter one, however I will definitely wait until the clamshell touchpad design is out. The idea is still good,, even if the statement "a cell phone is not a learning device" from Negroponte did make me want to never ever have anything to do with him again. Along with all the other troubles primarily with follow through and support for the participants abroad.

Tanya is my pal and we discussed this on facebook. Originally she asked about a webcam, however I pointed out to her that she may be able to regain vision properly if we can match her with the right scientist (who is that guy that helped people see with a chair?). She lost her eye in an auto accident returning from Burningman two years ago, and she would very much like her eye back please. She would also accept infrared, UV and any other type of alternative vision that could go along with this. She is the sort of artist who could genuinely take advantage of this technology, and I seriously hope that we can find someone to work with her.
