Strong Bad E-Mail just hit the 200 mark, and in celebration, the Poopsmith broke his vow of silence, Strong Bad hosted a sbemail with a live studio audience, and Homestar Runner stole Strong Bad’s thunder by announced that he, too, had been answering e-mails submitted by fans. And what laptop does he use to answer those e-mails on?
Why, one of the XO laptops from the One Laptop Per Child organization of course! Seems like that do-gooder Homestar is doing his part to make sure that kids in third-world countries get good educations
Speaking of which, I’ve heard that OLPC is going to be restarting the Give 1, Get 1 program this winter in partnership with Amazon.com. If the G1G1 program, you can buy two XO laptops, one for yourself, and one for a child in a third-world country. Check it out when it starts November 17th.
Don’t know who Strong Bad is? Take a look at my Cheat Sheet to Free Country, USA.
Aaron, you’ll have to fill me on on who “Strong Bad” is, but this is cool. Will tell Nicholas about the OLPC reference and thanks for the “Give One, Get One,” shout-out. My agency has a blog, http://www.racetalkblog.com and I interview bloggers and media members. Maybe I can interview you? I interviewed Scoble yesterday. Will be up soon…
