In a world where Starbucks is everywhere, it only makes sense. For this semester, and this semester only (through April 30th), coffee-loving students toting Vista on their tablet will be happy to hear that Vista users get “complimentary T-Mobile HotSpot WiFi access.” http://www.skysurprise.com/ (warning: it’s a strange site…) OK, T-Mobile HotSpots are other places [...]

I’m all excited about this so I have to post something, even though it’s a ways away. On March 11-15, I finally have the opportunity to meet Trev, Warner, Josh Eistein (possibly), and something like 400 other MVPs from all over the world at the 2007 Microsoft MVP Summit in Seattle, WA. I think the [...]

If you’ve decided to plunge full force into Vista on your Motion LE1600 or LS800, you should check this out. Motion released the new drivers and also a “How-To” on upgrading to Vista that’s detailed as heck (which is GREAT). Check it all out here: http://www.motioncomputing.com/vistasupport/index.asp

I’ve recently been alerted to two blogs related to education and technology. The first is Teachers Using Technology, a new blog fronted by Ryan Betts who is a grad student and teacher planning to share “ways in which [educators] use technology to enhance their craft, and the educational experiences of their students.” The second is Off Campus, a blog by [...]

Overview I’ve now had Vista running successfully for almost three weeks and it’s been…well, I’d call it a win, but with only a small margin of victory. First and foremost, do not install Vista right now unless you have some idea what you’re doing. This is good advice in general, however you’ll be one [...]

I have a Vista review in the works, but I just wanted to make a quick shout out that the OpticBook 3600 scanner works just like normal with Vista (yay). With the number of students using this particular device to go paperless, it’s good to know there won’t be a stuggle to get it working [...]

OK, thanks to the MSDN Microsoft gives to their MVP’s (for some reason I choose TechNet instead of the MSDN for my first MVP cycle), I now have Windows Vista Ultimate edition to install on my Motion LE1600. I’ve already installed it on a Gateway M275 that I inherited from my mom. I didn’t have [...]

I don’t stick to many things. The fact that this blog is more than two years old is amazing in itself. I’ve switched tablets several times, and switched note-taking programs even more. It’s an accomplishment for any piece of software to last in use on my computer for longer than a year. Something that I’ve [...]
