My Dec 2012 Holiday Project: Raspberry Pi
Found this very interesting that is very cheap, powerful and customizable. Yet, it got a bright opportunity to growth and evolve.
Importantly I like their intention. Their real reason to create such good products.
As a summary, it is a PC system board about your palm size and enable you to do a lot of thing on it. It takes only SD card to run its Linux based operating system. The exciting part, they are working out to port Android OS to run on it :)
It actually come with the system board only. However, it does include a lot of option whether you require casing, SD card that preloaded with OS, HDMI cable and so on.
I just placed order here for the system board and I believe I can get a lot of the accessories easily around my place.

The actual photo
A very nice own DIY casing for the Raspberry Pi which I found on their website. Is a very details step by step guide. I just wish that I still keep my LEGO sets :)

With the Organizer and committee.
Some highlights
This uncle is very strong and consistent. He is pacing me from the beginning until the end, without his pacing, I wont be able to run with a consistent pace and I would be get exhausted seriously in the half way. Thank you uncle.
Salute for their courage and strong mental. Like my couch always said to me "Marathon is not only a physical exercise, it also a mental exercise".
Lastly, our PB results.
Kiv PB (Last year Penang Bridge 2011 half marathon results is 3:17:39.92)
My PB (Last year Penang Bridge 2011 half marathon results is 3:19:13.66)
All though I feel that I had improve a lot, but there is still a long way to go for my full marathon training. I hope that I'm able to catch up to join a full marathon for this year 2012 Allianz Penang Bridge International Marathon.
