Ok, that was a little bombastic, but it was pretty exciting. I was fortunate enough to hold and play with a live Nexus One or The Google Phone last night.
Here is what I can report.
It’s fast, really fast, much faster than my iPhone 3G.
The screen is fantastic. Again, better than my iPhone 3G.
It’s simple and [...]

via techcrunch.com
So it looks like the infamous Google phone is for real. I’m happy about this for several reasons. Most importantly, Apple needs the competition to keep them sharp. All the others, namely Palm and Microsoft, have fallen away quickly in the iPhone storm. Only Blackberry remains strong. But Android, after a slow start, is [...]

The Revival of Train Travel

Written by David on July 19, 2009 - 0 Comments

I’m a romantic about certain things, like drive-in movies and train travel. It’s been sad to see the demise of US train travel. We have fallen so far behind Europe and Japan in modern train travel. Amtrak can still get you where you’re going, but it’s painfully slow and surprisingly expensive. I am encouraged by [...]

I love far future tech stuff. Here is something that might not be that far. These kind of flexible displays have so many cool applications. One of thebest things about a newspaper or magazine is that you can roll it up and take it with you anywhere. And they are so cheap you can leave [...]

Categories: Blog, Digital Dads, Technology

It’s remarkable the technology kids have access to these days. When I was my daughter Virginias age the coolest technology I had access to was an 8-Track tape player. Oh, yes, I had Boston on 8-Track. Now we have pocket

computers (some call them smart phones) that are more powerful than my first personal computer, the [...]

Recently I gave my white MacBook to my daugher for use at school and got myself a new MacBook Pro. I had been thinking of upgrding over the summer anyway, but due to circumstances I ended up doing it early. This is probably the most I have ever spent on any computer but I can [...]

Last Chance for Palm

Written by David on January 4, 2009 - 0 Comments
Categories: Blog, Technology

I used to be a big Palm supporter and had several of their devices going way back to the beginning.

A complete [...]
