Getting worried…

I checked on the status of my computer today (as I have everyday) on Toshiba’s website and things aren’t looking good from a distance. Tell me what you think this means:

It sounds like they don’t know I have the SystemGuard Warranty even after faxing it to two different people at two different times. [...]

More Example Note Pages

For those still deciding on whether to buy a tablet or not, the more screen shots the better. I thought I’d post some more example notes and homework so people can see how I use the digital ink and how tablets can benefit any student.

There are eight or so screen shots after the jump [...]

Random, Non-Tablet-Related Post: The Bees

I just had to post about this. We’re in the process of getting a new roof and today was the first day of roofing. While beginning the job and clearing some tree branches, the workers apparently made our local beehive unhappy. Of course, we didn’t even know we had a local beehive, but from the [...]

Class Notes Aided by Tablet PC

I had a fun time with my tablet (well, the tablet I’m borrowing) this morning. Not really anything different, but enough to make me smile and enjoy the bliss of digital notes + internet.

Tablet PC Show #23: Student Edition

I was lucky enough to score a guest spot on the Tablet PC Show #23 with James Kendrick and Marc Orchant and we had a fun morning discussing (what else) tablet PCs and how they relate to students. Now, Skype was acting up on us so some of it sounds a little funky, but we [...]

PDF Annotator Beta Works Pretty Well

There’s a new beta for PDF Annotator which Rob Bushway pointed me to after my last post. The only problem with my GoBinder digital book semi-solution is that large color pages are a pain to split up into small 10-20 page sections when the book is 500 pages long (black and white pages do fine [...]

How I’m handling Digital Books and Storing Notes

Sorry for the lack of many updates now that school has started. I’m trying to keep up with the piles of homework I get taking 5 technical courses and it leaves limited time for blogging. I’ll try to keep some stuff going though.

That said, I’ve had trouble figuring out how best to keep my books [...]

If you’re still figuring out how you want to organize you stuff this semester, give the article a read, along [...]
