Paperless Challenge Podcast: Part 1
byEric Mack and I did an 8 week Paperless Challenge and we finally summed up our conclusions into a podcast. A 2 hour podcast (we got chatty). Not to worry, we split it into four segments so you don’t get overloaded with our voices and information ^^.
(Eric, I’m stealing your post)
Listen in as I discuss my 8-week paperless challenge with my guest, Tablet PC MVP, Tracy Hooten, of The Student Tablet PC blog. This podcast covers the various aspects of the paperless challenge, its inspiration, how we prepared for it, the tools and methodologies used and the lessons we learned. Most important, we answer the many paperless challenge questions posted to our blogs or sent to us by email over the last several months.
Paperless Challenge Discussion topics:
Inspiration and objectives for the paperless challenge
Preparation: hardware & software
Tools and methodologies
Surprising discoveries
Tips, tricks, and best practices
Lessons learned
Recommendations
And most important, answers to your questions
Our podcast ran longer than anticipated so I’ve split the podcast up into segments for your convenience. Here’s the first segment. Other segments to follow.
Special thanks for Bruce Elgort and his clown friend, Brian Reed for contributing their time and talent to create the new intro and exit themes. Thanks guys!
My only request is that you don’t laugh at me. Or at least don’t tell me you laughed at me ^^. I’m not use to hearing myself speak, so it sounds funny to me.

Hi Tracy - Well done on Part 1 of the podcast. Some interesting stuff in there.
Main thing - you reminded me of the feature in Acrobat that allows one to amalgamate all one’s comments into a single summary. I remember reading about this before (might well have been you or a poster to this site who first drew my attention to it) but forgot to explore it further. It just sounds so incredibly useful.
Got to agree with you and Eric that the total elimination of the physical bookshelf isn’t a good thing. Eric’s point about the inspirational benefits of walking through one’s library holds a lot of truth true and your comments about having your key knowledge available and at hand when you gain employment in the field makes sense. Although I’m passionately dedicated to living paperlessly I could not survive without being surrounded by books in my home environment (I do however try to appease my eco-friendly ethical side by only buying second hand :o) ).
Anyway all in all a great start and I’m really looking forward to the next installment Love & Peace Robert
