As Robert continues on his 50 Novels in a Year Challenge, I watch in envy as he checks each interesting book from his list. My love of a good challenge and a good book, and my new Sony PRS-505 Reader purchase, finally made me decide to jump in and join him.

I miss reading for fun, as I was a kid who never let [...]

That’s right! I gave in and decided I really, really wanted one of these e-book reader things, and the last commenter who mentioned that Target had the Sony PRS-505 was the final straw that just broke my will power! I didn’t want to wait for the new Kindle or the new Sony, and, [...]

While browsing John Guin’s blog, I found this cute (yes, I said, “cute”) tip on how he keeps notes on his meetings with coworkers.

I have meetings with all the people on my team regularly, and have a separate section for each.  But that is boring.  I asked everyone to give me a photo, and used [...]

Maybe if you’re using OneNote on a powerful laptop or a new, ultra-configured tablet, you may not have noticed any slow-down. Or if you like to keep neat little notes that only use a letter-sized page of writing/text at a time, this likely has never occurred. But if you use just a half-decent [...]

Has anyone ever tried a ModBook, the third party Mac tablet that is a slate made from a normal MacBook? I’m thinking a Mac would be cool for my next computer, or a small Tablet PC slate, but maybe this would be cool. A 13.3″ widescreen, glass slate with a DVD drive, 2.4 GHz processor, [...]

So, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an Amazon Kindle. Yes, a little pricey, but cheaper than getting a slate Tablet or most UMPCs (not that I was planning on getting either of those anytime soon, however). I thought it could only read Amazon downloaded books and Amazon provided periodicals, but this Top [...]

I created a new page on this site called “Open Discussion” that’s an experimental method of chatting about what’s on your mind that’s learning or technology related. Whatever you want. Let it out. Let’s hear it.

If it starts getting confusing or starts branching out, I’ll organize it into subcategories, but I’m interested to see how [...]

¡Hola, todos! (Hello, everyone!)

I haven’t posted as much as I should lately simply because I’ve been engrossed in this whole language-learning thing (and incredibly tired all week). And I just learned how to make an awesome chocolate martini (mmmm, Godiva liqueur and vanilla vodka). Ain’t learnin’ fun?!

But yes, I’ve been busy playing with new toys [...]

After reading about Tracy’s Wannadoeverythingism disease and its ‘nasty’ book collecting symptoms, I remembered something I’d seen a couple of days ago in a Wired article - the personal library of Jay Walker, Internet entrepreneur and founder of Walker Digital. That’s right folks, I’ll say it again - this is Jay’s PERSONAL library, not a [...]

I’m sorry to have kept this from you, but I’ve been sick for a while. I have a disease that is rare but also goes unreported so it could be more extensive than I know.

I have Wannadoeverythingism.

What are the symptoms?

A large amount of books on a wide variety of subjects. Barnes [...]
