Man, oh man, oh man: Scoble points to NEC's new Versa LightPad tablet PC. Light, you say? Try 2 lbs, 0.6" thick. Dzaaaang.

Rats. I wonder how much this costs? I had no idea there was a popular geek-ish conference going on in town! Demo 2003 is happenin' in Scottsdale, AZ, just a scant 20 miles away!

Mark put up a nifty fridge magnet poetry page and contest. Here's my entry, titled "tablet Haiku" in honor of NEC's new toy.

I spent the morning working at the local Starbuck's. It was not one of the unwired shops, but that wasn't a bad thing, as I needed some undistracted creative time. As a result, I got a good start on the design of a mailing I'm going to be doing shortly to some potential clients.

This is your father's first interstate chat transmission from his own WIRELESSly connected laptop computer in the livingroom where there is a fire in the fireplace.

Looks like Microsoft and the PC vendors are getting the Newton religion. Right on. Too bad Apple doesn't.

Scoble: > Well, I've had some sneaks behind the scenes (not official ones, though). Apple has some cool stuff coming this year to be sure -- including some desktop machines that are outperforming current Intel stuff.

Robert Scoble responds to my last post:

Google buys Pyra Labs, makers of fine blogging software.

Is Dave becoming a warblogger? -)

Seth rants on the "My blog don't get 'nuf hits!" crowd. My favorite quote:

Simon Extreme is a Mac OS X "reinterpretation" of the classic Simon game. Interestingly, Simon Extreme is shipped under a Creative Commons license, and source code is available. As if that's not enough, the designer of the interface, Rich of Richd.com, is making available some sample Photoshop files of the interface, so that GUI designers can see how the interface was built up. Classy stuff.

Jim's just finished porting his employer's website to Plone, an open-source content management system. Hopefully you'll be able to read more about it on Tyrell's Enterprise Corner soon.

After basically trying to ignore DHTML for a really long time, I've begun venturing into new territory lately.

R.E.M.'s Murmur turnes 20 this year. Wow. Celebrational article from Creative Loafing.

I'm redesigning Jodi's site today.

If there are any Quicken 2003 for the Mac users out there, I need some help.
