More on a small computer...

Lora and I exchanged some lengthy emails last night on this subject. Here's the one that kicked it off, basically indicating that my pricing structure was definitely off. While I later concede some of her points, there are some other factors involved

CES and Vegas

So for the first time I actually get to go to Vegas for CES. Guess now that Comdex is dead, have to go for the major show. But speaking of shows, Vegas has a lot of them and I know nothing about the ins and outs of getting tickets for these shows. The

Playing with MSN Spaces

So I've set up a purely personal blog on MSN. The picture management capability is interesting as it's a lot easier than having my own website (which I haven't updated in eons). I'm thinking that maybe I'll give up my vanity domain and just simply use

Glass Wall - 1 : Evan - -5

Well the day before last was a banner day for me... I went to hear a talk about innovation, left the talk to go out to the lobby, and smacked my head right into a glass wall. I must commend the janitors as it was the cleanest piece of glass I never saw.

On to different things...

I was really waiting for the official announcement internally before I post anything, but that's taking such a long time, that I figured I'd just blurt it out here and all those people internally who didn't know and actually read my blog (yeah, like that

Mobile HCI and Glasgow

So far the conference has been pretty interesting but unfortunately the time difference with home has made me so tired during some of the talks that I keep yawning. Given that this is a conference on mobile usage it's interesting to see what people one

Getting machines up to par

I promised I was going to write about moving a product from niche to mainstream, but the experience at my in-laws was just an interesting (frustrating?) enough that I had to blog about it. My in-laws live under some odd budgetary constraints. They definitely

Running at Microsoft Part 2

That's it... this is the last time I blog about something that I really enjoy or a great benefit that exists. Today we've been informed that one of the great perks that we've had is going away... Luckily it's not the free soda, but for me it's actually

Hodgepodge...

I was going to blog about the SpaceShipOne but everyone else in the world has already talked about it. I was also going to mention that I had worked at NASA previously with Astronauts, ran an experiment in space and got to experience the thrills of the

Reward Programs

I’ve been battling for the past day with the Starwood Corporation. They are the group that own hotels like the Westin, Sheraton, the W, etc. Personally I love the beds at the Westin and try to stay at one whenever I’m traveling for either

Can't sleep

Have I mentioned lately that I love living in the Puget Sound region? I really do – I love the temperate climate, the green, the water, the hills, etc. But some days I just hate the sun. I’ve been up since about 5:15 this morning and can’t

I run therefore I am

Almost a year and a half ago, I started running again. This was after taking a 15 year hiatus from my running career. I had started running when I was 7 or 8 years old and ran almost every weekend in a 1K or a 1 Mile race until I was 11. I kept running

Welcome one and all (probably one)!

Blogging seems to be all the craze right now and I figured that I'd jump on the bandwagon just before it all becomes passe. Seriously though, I figured that I could use a creative outlet to write about my life experiences with technology and my life in
