...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...

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...

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...

InkSeine Localization Problem FIXED!

We have a fix for the serious localization bug that has plagued many of our InkSeine friends outside of the United States. The worst symptom of this bug is that some users who use non-American ways to write decimal numbers or dates are unable to load...

InkSeine has its Limitations!

I'm happy to see that InkSeine is generating some fresh Tablet PC buzz in the blogosphere . Apparently, offering a new inking application to a crowd of pen computing enthusiasts is like tossing a fish into a crate full of starving cats! But seriously...

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...

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...

Inveterate Doodler

I have a confession to make. I'll bring my Tablet PC to most meetings that I attend. But I don't like to take detailed notes about meetings and I can't stand to sit there doing nothing. So I often populate the margins and headers of my notes...
