The Microsoft Research Codex: Are Dual Screens the Future of Mobile Devices?

Never buy one of anything . That's advice you should stand by when you're buying unusual gadgets. The advice was good when Randy Pausch offered it to me some 15 years ago, and it's still good now. Of course, with 18 month old twin girls at...

Design and the Elastic Mind

I wish I could make it to New York to see the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition at MOMA. It sounds like it allows you to see or experience many of the objects and interfaces that I’ve blogged about over the last few years, and many that I haven’t...

Twelve Days of InkSeine

I thought it would be fun to provide an illustrated tour of some of the ways that I use InkSeine on my Tablet PC. So, without further ado, here is the first installment of "Twelve Days of InkSeine." Day #1: Use InkSeine to Make a Project Binder...

So Busy, So Here's a Screenshot

Click here for newer Kodu posts I'm doing final content passes as we get ready for release, which is the end of June. (Exact day TBD) Thought I'd snap this nice picture of one of the "old school" sample levels, Pandemica. I like the...

Artistic Interlude #1

Tonight I stumbled across a piece of artwork that I did many years ago. And I thought, “Hey, I still really like that!” Plus I figured the blog could benefit from an artistic interlude, so here it is: This is from a brief period of colorful geometric...

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

I mostly write this blog for fun, but today I have something important to share. To the extent that I am a good researcher, I owe a tremendous debt to Randy Pausch. Randy advised my PhD studies at the University of Virginia. Randy is a great guy, always...

Jump Start your Creativity with Custom InkSeine Notebooks

Distressed books from forgotten decades, documents battered by time, and postcards from the distant past hold a deep charm for me. Perhaps it was because my grandfather was an insatiable reader and his shelves were always brimming with volumes dating...

Kodu Videos on Youtube

Hi folks, just back from vacation and travel. Pardon my pause. I've finally got my first "kodu gallery" video ready to post, but I've found a lot of cool kodu videos already existing. Always one to let the community lead the way, here's...

Portrait Inking on the OQO Model 02

The OQO Model 02 is almost the same size as my Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook. I suspect this is no accident. To illustrate the point, I scanned them side-by-side. The OQO is slightly narrower, which is necessary to make it fit in my shirt pocket given its...

...and on Day #13? I use OneNote!

It would be criminal of me to do this 12-day series without out also confessing that, like many Tablet PC users out there, I am also a big fan of OneNote. InkSeine is not, and will never be, a replacement for it. I still remember a meeting a few years...

Faux-OQO with origami

It's been a very busy couple of weeks for me, so I haven't had time to attend to the blog, or much of anything else for that matter. But one thing that has been on my mind from time to time is the OQO Model 02 Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC). It's...
