• Visual Programming

    Posted on June 8, 2004

    One of the persistent features of the user programmable systems I was blabbing about yesterday is visual programming. The idea here is that users have pictograms that they can move around on the screen and connect to each other. Each symbol on the screen represents one of the software components... [Read More]

  • Fluid Information Architectures

    Posted on June 8, 2004

    I’ve been taking some time to try to step back a bit and consider the role of technology as a whole. Already a pretty popular topic, many of the currently popular bloggers mix politics, sociology, psychology, and technology into their own editorials. But I’m not taking quite that big of...

  • Selling Mobile Data Devices

    Posted on May 30, 2004

    I agree with the response that Russell Beattie has to a recent article in Newsweek. Although there are some points that I disagree about. I do agree that asking Palm about the future of mobile devices is awfully one sided. Although from what I’ve read, Jeff Hawkins is a stunningly... [Read More]

  • The Linux Swap Debate

    Posted on May 29, 2004

    There’s a thread from the Linux Kernel Mailing List which seems to have gotten picked up all over the place. Most sources seem to be including the quote: [Read More]

  • Mobile Data Services and Innovation

    Posted on May 28, 2004

    Lots of times I groan at the statements that come out of the MIT Media Lab, but TheFeature has an interview with William Mitchell, director of the MIT Media Lab and I really liked what he had to say at the end of the interview. [Read More]

  • CommunityWiki

    Posted on May 26, 2004

    After reading about communities tied to one technology in Many2Many I spent a bit of time wandering around in the CommunityWiki in general. I ran across some stuff by Lion Kimbro a little while ago, and I see his name and what seems to be the mark of his ideas... [Read More]

  • Art of the Start

    Posted on May 25, 2004

    I’ve registered myself for The Art of the Start, a day long event by Garage Technology Ventures focused on educating entrepreneurs about successfully starting a company. A friend pointed out that if you’re an SDForum member you can get fifty dollars off on the registration. You just need to call... [Read More]

  • Relinked the Link Blog

    Posted on May 25, 2004

    I’ve added a link to the link blog up at the top of the standard view of this blog. I’ve been using it quite a bit again, cause it’s a convenient way to keep track of stuff I want to read without bookmarking it at whatever computer I happen to... [Read More]

  • PalmAtom Mailing List

    Posted on May 25, 2004

    I set up a discussion mailing list for PalmAtom. I’m probably going to hold off pushing out news about a release it until it’s actually usable as a normal tool. I’ve used the sample to post to Blogger, but I wouldn’t recommend it for most users. Just in case there’s... [Read More]

  • PalmAtom Initial Release

    Posted on May 24, 2004

    It’s really more of a proof of concept than a first version, which is why I’ve given it the release number 0.1, but I have an app that I’ve successfully used to post Atom from a Palm device. I was feeling really creative, so I named it PalmAtom. It does... [Read More]
