Klickity Klackity
Klickity klackity is the sound of obsolescence. Gather round kids, while we take a trip down memory lane. Not too close, now, the drop off on either side is a killer. So one morning this week, at the breakfast table,...
Three Dimensional Television
So the latest apparent must-have technological advance is 3D TV. Just not seeing it this time. Personally, I don't care that much about 3D. Most of the time it really doesn't work for me, primarily because I have no discernible...
Futuristic Books of the Future!
So every once in a while I manage to accurately forecast the future. It's a gift, a weighty gift for sure, but one that I wield with humility and forbearance. With great power comes great responsibility and all that. Of...
Update
Sorry for the lack of updates. We encountered a couple of problems during the last half of our European vacation. First, we had the damndest time getting onto our hotel WiFi networks. We'd be sitting in the same room (weird,...
Highly Mobile Computing
I’m typing this in on my amazing new iPad whilst in our horseless carriage proceeding at the quite astonishing speed of 70 miles per hour. Now it’s 75 mph! Of course, unlike many of my fellow Americans I’m not...
iPadless
Lately I've been feeling like I'm the wallflower at the prom, the third wheel, the guy still standing bereft of a chair when the music stops. And it's all because I don't have an iPad. Everywhere I go...
Oooh, Shiny!
Okay I've now had a chance to see the iPad (which, by the way, is not the name I was expecting at all - though I like it) on-line and I have to say, for the first time I'm...
Apple Antics
I just had a thought. A couple of months ago Mary and I both converted to Apple folk. You know the ones with the black mock turtlenecks and cool retro dark rimmed glasses that are always waving their iPhones...

Interesting Consumer Electronics Marketing
Someone has now released the first mass produced color ebook reader. Wow, I'm so impressed. Of course at $1300 a pop I'm ging to have to get that home equity line of credit to afford it, but it's worth...
iPod Touch and Kindle
Ok, so I downloaded the Kindle software for my iPod Touch and bought a book on Amazon for it and tried it out. And it's not bad. Not bad at all. I really wouldn't like to spend all my...
Sony Rebounds
Well, just when I'm getting ready to write off the Sony Reader, they come roaring back in the second period and throw a Hail Mary pass that sends the game into extra innings. Sony announced today that they...
Amazon
Okay, now they're just rubbing salt in the wounds. Amazon announced they were releasing a free app to permit iPhone and iPod Touch users to read Kindle books. Evil, evil, evil and really, really devilishly clever. I'm downloading it...
Virgin Galactic
Yesterday I posted that Sir Richard Branson has completed his plans to encircle the globe with his mighty fleet of aerospace transports. Mary reminded me after I posted that schemes are afoot by His Lordship to construct a flotilla...
Technological Savant?
I've discovered that I have a superpower. It's almost infallible and has never let me down. Whenever there is an opportunity to buy some new technological toy, I can, with only the slightest furrowing of my magnificent brow, select...
Technology Revisited
So it's time for a little check on how technology is impacting our trip, for good or ill, at the halfway point. So far, since the meltdown early in the trip, we've had relatively few problems. Well, relatively few...
Technology Blues
At and around day four of the three month around the world trip and we've already had a couple of technology meltdowns. Before leaving on the trip I invested in a new laptop, mainly because Mary said there was...
