A 15" MacBook Air with the hi-res 1680 x 1050 of the current 15" MBP and 8GB of RAM would be my idea of ideal. I hope that when the MacBook Pros refresh, it will be in this general direction.

There is http://codeforamerica.org/ although that doesn't exactly fit your description. I would be very interested if someone knows of something more along the OP's lines.

Buy the LG Optimus V from Virgin Mobile. It's not super-powerful smartphone, but it does everything that I need it to and is only $150. Then get the $35 / month plan that goes with it. To tether you only have to download the "Quick Settings

I would be with you, but Virgin got me on their $25 / month unlimited data, 300 minutes plan. I hardly talk on my phone, but being able to tether from anywhere has been a big win. Now I think they charge $35 / month for the same plan.

Building a simple photo sharing app as an exercise to learn Django and some jQuery. My background is in math / scientific computation so it's interesting to see things from this perspective. I'm hoping to start freelancing in a few weeks :)

If you're referring to the US, there are laws against it in a few states, but it is not outright illegal. Even in the states where there are laws against it, many people successfully do it every year. It is the general perception though. h

I've heard of flying or boating a bike around, but never anything as big as an RV. I imagine any option is going to be really expensive, though I suppose anything is possible.
