No, I'm not dead. Just busy. Baby, 2yo twins, no sleep, etc., etc. With all the talk about how tablets suck (for uncreative people who measure productivity by words-per-minute of text entry in office memos, emails, and twitter updates that no one will ever read), I thought it would be fun to do a...

Things have been quiet here lately, but with good reason. I've been a busy daddy, and I'm happy to announce that Rebecca Renee Hinckley has arrived a bit earlier than expected, but at a robust 9lb 2oz. Consumer consumption is not dropping in this household at least! She joins Sarah and Alissa...

It’s been a busy summer – so busy, in fact, that the blog has been starved for attention of late. I have some cool posts in the works but it will be a little while longer before I can get them finished. The exciting news on the home front is that my wife Angela and I are expecting a new addition to the...

GottaBeMobile.com forum member JasonJ is a prolific inker. He’s been at the avant-garde of InkSeine for some time now. He’s offered us lots of great feedback and has a flair for illustrating his points. For example, he’d like us to add a sizing tab to make it easier to resize the InkSeine application...

A conversation with the Tablet PC MVP's this week reminded me of a productivity hack I constructed for my tablet a while back. I guarantee that you will either absolutely love this hack, or think it is the stupidest thing you've ever heard. In my experience, there is little gray area when I mention...

Sometimes great connections and friendships are forged over the internet without ever getting a chance to meet that person behind the keyboard. Well, I had great fun this week getting to meet Rob Bushway and Warner Crocker from the GottaBeMobile.com site, as well as MVP's Craig Pringle and WNewquay...

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 an intriguing device but I have wavered for some time...

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 as far back as the 19 th century. Maybe it was because...

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 abstractions that I did in the early to mid 1990’s...

A lot of ink blogs are just a vile mess. But there are a few, like Sumocat , who really get it right. Partly it is just because his handwriting is so beautiful, but also, the interesting content is there to back it up. When ink blogging is done right, the format can be extremely engaging and offers a...

A while back I came up with a hardware invention to make me more productive with my tablet when I'm using it on a desk. I figured why not give a boost to the sagging global economy by unleashing this little gem on the world now, even though it's still at what we might call the "early prototype"...

Well, there was just no way I could present this series without sneaking in a picture of my beautiful twin girls. I recommended that you should always wear extremely dark cute-polarized sunglasses whenever visiting the site way back in the inaugural post of The AlpineInker , and this was not an idle...

Yesterday I showed you how I use InkSeine to Make a Project Binder . Well that's great for work and challenging projects. But with infant identical twin girls in my household, I need a severe coffee infusion when I arrive at work before my brain begins to function. So of course I multitask and do...

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 with sprawling squiggles and arabesques. I just...

I visited Snoqualmie Pass this weekend, just 1 hour east of Seattle. Life in the mountains here at just 3000 feet of elevation is dramatically different than the maritime climate of Seattle. The Alpental ski area , about 1 mile north of the Pass, has received 234 inches of snow (i.e., 19 ½ feet, or 6...
