Ukulele = Miniature Fretboard on the Go

My brother gave me this small ukulele for Christmas last year. It has been a lot of fun, especially when I can't lug my guitar with me and I just want to strum or play some simple melodies. I wouldn't use it to replace any actual guitar practice though*.
There are varied tunings for the ukulele, but for practicing purposes, the tuning D-G-B-E works well as it corresponds to the strings 4-3-2-1 (D-G-B-E) on a guitar in standard tuning. I am not an expert on ukuleles, but I enjoy "plunking" out tunes on mine.

*No offense to ukulele players! http://youtu.be/puSkP3uym5k ;-)
