Hey Guys!
Exciting project today. It’s the Monet Frame Computer. Check it out!
This is the Monet machine offline, and ready for some action.

Well, it’s not just a fantastic modern art work, it’s also an 18″ laptop circa 2008!

Well, lets boot up Ubuntu 9.10!

Spiffy, eh?
But wait! There’s more!

Look at that finish.

Are you using gnome-globalmenu with your Docky? The OS X workflow isn’t complete without it.
I’m not, let me look into that, thanks!
I’m writing interface software for this frame, in the end it will use the Wii remote ( Bluetooth built in! )
– Edit –
I’ve checked it out, looks sweet! Something to add into my machine for sure, thanks!

All the images are missing (404 Not Found) for me.
You should have it hanging on the wall like a painting and try and hide the mouse and keyboard. Better yet, a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
This way you have it hanging on the wall with a screensaver of famous art pics or family pics or something that changes like every couple of hours. Anybody in the house may not notice it is anything other than a picture or think it is a digital frame.
Then you pull out the mouse, keyboard, sit down and use it as a computer.
Better yet, do this with a touch-screen laptop :)
Kickarse job on this Paul! I want one!
@dragonbite: I’m writing that software now :)
So far it “works”, but it does not scale right, so I did not include it. It’s set up to jump right into a “dumb” user and run that app. The app with also do other nifty stuff — In the end it can run of battery without any wires coming off :)
