It Came, It Saw, It Command & Conquered! An update on the Dell Inspiron Zino HD

Due to the overwhelming response and number of questions I received from the last blog post on the Dell Inspiron Zino HD, I thought I would provide more information on my experience with that little system.  Once again, I would like to apologize in advance for the length of this blog post, but I want to try and cover more ground on this computer. Per my usual comments, this is not intended to be an official review of the device, but more of an overview of the platform and features offered, mixed with a little user feedback.   Specs As you may remember from last time , Dell is offering the Inspiron Zino HD PC with multiple configurable options so customers have the ability to personalize the platform to a specific need or budget.  The original unit sent to me was configured with the following specifications: OS: Windows® 7 Home Premium CPU: AMD Athlon™ X2 3250e processor Chipset: AMD RS780G LAN: On board Gb Ethernet Wireless: Integrated Wireless N Memory: 2GB DDR2 800 Optical Drive: 8x DVD ROM HDD: 250GB LxWxH: 197.6mm x 197.6mm x 89mm USB wired keyboard USB wired mouse Volume: 3.5L However, I managed to get my hands on the AMD Athlon™ Neo X2 6850e processor so I was able to swap out the processor and do additional testing

Get it while it’s hot: A post-Thanksgiving housing market assessment.

(Pictured: Daughter Number 1) This is what the scene looked like on Thanksgiving as the nuclear Bergs attempted some forced family fun away from the mother ship in our little Lake Arrowhead A-frame.  Ah, the memories! Today, back in Scripps Ranch, we are thankful for many things, including: A mountain neighbor’s unsecured wireless account; The “ cloud ” which allowed a new listing to debut online moments before the turkey hit the table; Pre-cooked turkey; and, Daughter Number 2’s successful submission of college applications three days before deadline, suggesting that there is now an outside chance she will not be living at home when she is forty.

I found that it lives up to the statements in the press releases, and I predict that it will be much sought after this spring

I Am Now a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Taekwon-Do!

It was a long, grueling two hours today! Testing for black belts was myself (going for a 3rd Dan promotion) and Danielle (going for her 1st Degree Black Belt), so it was the test of the Danielles! Danielle is now 13 and she started Takewon-Do at age 8, and at that time while I was still teaching, she was actually one of my students.
