Lifekludging a UMPC Dave drives an eo Previously I have reviewed and offered my thoughts on Tablet PCs, one being a slate [Sahara Slate] and the other [Acer C200] having a keyboard with touch screen.

twitter fragmentation
I like Kent Newsome. Besides the fact he has good taste in the blogs he reads (mine!), he seems to carve out his own way amongst the goat tracks on paddock blogosphere and stick to it. Recently he developed another of his own guides to direct his twitter use and is only going to followContinueContinue reading “twitter fragmentation”

Exceptional grace
In so many ways, this is a masterful expression of existence by Doc, if for no other reason than its succinct treatment of a complex subject.

More simple cell phones for life
emporia have a great statement on their site which states: What is simple will be understood. What is understood generates relevance. I came across these phones made by emporia via Popgadget blog.

Dear Mr Hodge (Uncle). Connections happen when stories overlap. Need to build a way to overlap the geek_dots in the geek_stories. Dave (Uncle) PS: I wanted to leave this as a comment on this post on on10.net but do I really gotta sign up for yet another account on another silo?

Taking it to the streets
A while ago Andy asked why I didn’t have a lifekludger sticker on my van. So the other day while thinking about it I searched where I could buy one online. Did it and got delivered from US, reasonable price. At least it got done. So now I’m taking lifekludger to the streets:
