We’re now in Playacar, Playa del carmen, Mexico. We’ve been here for 3 days now but I was only able to activate my TelCel 3G stick this morning. :)

Off We Go
Getting ready to leave for the airport with the family. Direction: Playa del Carmen, Mexico, for 3+ weeks. See you on the flip side.
Momentus XT Disappointment

Had to RMA the drive back for a refund, since I’m leaving Montreal for a trip tomorrow and NewEgg wouldn’t ship a replacement to Mexico… Quite disappointed, but nothing critical since I was upgrading for a speed boost, rather than replacing a dead drive. Shame though.
Lego Antikythera Mechanism
This, to me, is the perfect storm of awesomeness, combining three of my favorite things: Lego, computing and ancient civilizations.
See “Ancient astronomy: Mechanical inspiration” for more info on the Antikythera mechanism.

On a side note, I love that poster design. :)
