After my "Letter to a Newbie" post, I was e-mailed by Kurt Geisel, Director of Tablet PC Development at Microsoft, with a couple suggestions about TIFF files. Something I really enjoyed hearing about was about using a combination of Microsoft Office Document Imaging and Journal to OCR and open scanned TIFF files.

Pretty much, if [...]

Both Tracy and I use Activewords to make our lives easier. I owe my introduction to Activewords really to its creator Buzz Bruggeman. He’s an amazing, dynamic individual. He also knows just about everyone.

I met Buzz for the first time in Las Vegas. He called me during my flight so I had a voicemail pop [...]

We’ve been pretty university/college focused, mostly because both Trev and I are in college, but we’re going to try to branch out a little. We realize high school students have different needs and circumstances, and that educators have close ties with what students are doing (or at least, they should). With the opening of our [...]

Another great post from Chris Pratley’s blog. With all the forum hoopla, I haven’t had a chance to mention this before now, but if you currently don’t use flags, and you use OneNote, please read this post. It’s informative for those not yet in flagging bliss, or actually anyone. "I’ve written recently about some of [...]

This is me, using my little power as a blogger to try to get something I want done. Let’s get some tablet support in Trillian, people.

Trillian is a program that lets you handle all of your different chat clients all in one, along with several plug-ins and skins for customization. Awesome. I don’t [...]

Woohoo! We have a forum now!

Big thanks to LiquidBlaze for putting up with me while building our ultra cool forum, and also for everyone else for being patient!

Here’s the deal: Right now we’re waiting for the forum.studenttabletpc.com sub-domain to work, but since it’s ready for business, right now you can easily get to it [...]

While we’re catering to new tablet users, I thought I’d share an e-mail from a reader. Along with answering some questions for newbies, I think many of you could relate to this at some time or another, including myself just last summer ^_^.

Alex:You know don’t me but I was wondering whether you can give me [...]

First, thanks again for your patience with the domain switch.

Second, I’d like everyone to look to their right, just below the "About Us" button, and notice a little thing called the Newbie Help Center. This page was created as a place for the clueless and the new-to-tablets crowd to start their tablet journey. [...]

Well, we’re setting up for the forum and doing a domain transfer while we’re at it, so for the next 48 hours or so the studenttabletpc.com link will be down. You can still reach us at the studenttabletpc.blogs.com though, so no worries ^_^.

On the good side, this means our forums are almost ready! Give [...]

Michael Hyatt doesn’t have a Tablet PC, and he’s not a student, but this post shows that the note-taking skills you learn in grade school/college aren’t just for passing test. Not only will this post give you some tips on organizing your notes, but it will help put the whole process in perspective.  For those [...]
