Windows Vista – Ubuntu – Windows 7
Spending a week with a different operating system on my laptop is like learning a new religion. It’s intensely interesting, insightful, a true learning experience! Ultimately it teaches one what they took for granted about the things they already knew and cherished.
So I spent a refreshing week on the linux side of the operating [...]
Notes about the G1 as a MID
It’s surprising that something as portable as the T-Mobile G1 and powerful a platform as Android can be so useful. Perhaps it shouldn’t be, but I’ve been using my G1 as a mobile internet device more and more often.

The form factor and the ability to quickly add such a wide variety of applications to the device really makes it more [...]
Android Developers! Here’s a phone-load of free ideas

During this time I’ve been thinking about the things that [...]
Windows 7
Yep, Mike Nash announced it today on the Windows Vista blog. The next version of Microsoft Windows will be named: Windows 7
