A new iPad app was announced today that’s going change the way you collaborate. *openmargin has a number of rather interesting features. It seems to offer a lot of what I’ve wanted in terms of sharing. But the app isn’t actually available yet. Until it is, all I have to tide you over is this [...]

How to Read this blog
April 24th, 2011 · No Comments · blog maintenance
At long last I have updated the RSS feed for this blog. I’d really appreciate it if people could switch over to the new RSS feed. TDR had a different name when I started it back in January 2010. When I changed the name of the blog (and the website address) I didn’t bother changing [...]

April 16th, 2011 · 16 Comments · opinion

Franklin to drop support for the eBookMan on April 30th

The eBookMan was first released in 1999, and apparently the same hardware has been sold for the past 12 years. As you can see, it has [...]

On Adapting to new systems

That post has gotten several interesting comments, and one in particular inspired me to respond with this post. The reader suggested that I just need time to learn how iOS does things. While [...]
I’m not taking my iPad or Android tablet to the conference
April 3rd, 2011 · 13 Comments · opinion
I’m traveling top NYC this afternoon for a conference and I finally decided on what gadgets I’m going to bring. Due to weight (and the fact that I don’t want to leave electronics in my hotel room), I had to pick between a Win7 tablet convertible or (as a pair) my iPad and Viewsonic gTablet. [...]

I was right: The funds for a 1:1 iPad program don’t exist
March 27th, 2011 · 8 Comments · opinion
