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 [...]

Jim Vanides, HP’s Worldwide Higher Education Philanthropy’ s Program Manager (wow great title!) is picking up speed with a video series of Tablet PC tips orientated towards educators. He’s already posted one on using a Tablet PC to annotate Powerpoint and his second helping, looking into using MS Journal as a viable alternative [...]

While looking through some old links of mine, I stumbled upon some tips from a time when I wanted to be a writer. It’s a hard think to motivate yourself to do work that you don’t really have to do, without a boss watching over and hard daily deadlines. Sound familiar? 50 Strategies for Making [...]

Sorry for not writing about this sooner. I’ve somehow managed to select a set of classes and other extracurricular activities that constantly and incessantly bombard me with work. As you might remember, my tablet succumbed to effects of hitting a pepper shaker.

After an initial panic, I gained my composure and started looking around. I eventually [...]

Last time: Desktop Cleaning

I swear I was going to get this out two weeks ago. However, Boeing has been keeping me rather busy and when I get home, all I really want to do is go take a nap. That and waking up at 5:30 has absolutely no benefits, really.

Schools out, finals are done, you have a Tablet and its slower your IBM 386 (yea, I actually had one of those. What a beast.) But the fact of the matter is it’s time for a little spring cleaning. So here’s Ferg’s Guide to Tablet PC Spring Cleaning, Version 1. I’m basically doing this as [...]
