Datacenter in a Container + More

Interesting Cringley article on Google distributable datacenters. 5000 CPU's into a shipping container dropped off at each of the world 300 peering points providing distributed storage and searching. Have to take it all with a grain of salt but its a fantastic idea.

A great ArsTechnica Christmas Gift Guide.

I picked up a cheap Wacom Graphire tablet to try my hand at digital sketching. Some nice Corel Painter tips over at Wacom. Its actually much harder than it looks but definitely easier than using a mouse.

Lego-like Stackable La Cie Drive Enclosures.

IBM's R & D guys have an interesting guide to their Blade systems. Pretty heavy going but its worth a quick skim to see how they deal with management and storage issues.
