Yes, I’ve been too quiet here lately. Here’s a variety of observations for your reading pleasure. I’m still on Lesson 5 in HTRYN. I did complete about six more index cards. I still have many more to go. I’m heading back up to Central TX next week. I didn’t get … Continue reading →
There’s a lot of discussion about e-Books and pricing. I think I understand the author and publisher view. I understand e-Books aren’t necessarily cheaper to produce than paper books, although the costs are different. The New Yorker has an interesting article this morning asking if the iPad will topple the … Continue reading →
As I’ve mentioned, I am trying mostly free iPad apps, but I’ve purchased a few. I’m going to do a rundown on what’s on the iPad that I haven’t mentioned and maybe a few comments on things I have mentioned if there’s something new to note. I’ve removed two apps … Continue reading →
I gulped and bought Things for iPad. I have Things for Mac and love it, but my Mac Mini stays here in Central Texas, so I can’t take it with me to update my tasks or next actions (in keeping with the Getting Things Done terminology). At $19.99, that’s the … Continue reading →

After playing with one of the demo units at the Apple Store for a little while and much deliberation, I decided to take the plunge and buy an iPad. The next thing I needed to decide was which model. I’d wandered the App Store earlier in the day and calculated … Continue reading →
I know I said I was going to wait for the second generation (at least) iPad to be released. There are too many things I want in the device that aren’t available in the initial release model that just might show up in a later model. But… I read the … Continue reading →
I attended InnoTech San Antonio today. I haven’t been to a technology conference for a couple of years, and I wanted to see how much I was missing. I felt pretty comfortable, but I’d thought I might see more of my former military colleagues (either military or civilian). I ran … Continue reading →
I have a few email accounts without external spam filters, so I get to filter quite a bit of email spam. It’s pretty easy to spot. I click on “delete from server” and “Junk” and usually don’t pay any attention to it. But I received a new twist on the … Continue reading →
