New location same old content more or less :-)

If you haven't noticed by now, the blog moved slightly. I'd say a little to the right but the politico season is long over and there isn't much we can do about it. In case you're reading this through an aggregator, you might want to update the feed location.

Methodology & Observation

I haven't talked about methodology in a long time (at least not on here). I was recently in a conversation with someone about doing some research using a remote screen capture tool on a PC. The person (who shall remain nameless -- but you know who you

Now onto something completely different

Many people have bugged me that I haven't posted in awhile. That isn't because I don't have anything interesting to say :-). Mainly I've been working lately on a project that is a bit of a skunkworks even for Microsoft. It's rare that a very small group

There's a party going on...

There's a party going on right now. It's been a while in coming, but the momentum is finally building..... The 1,000,000th Tablet PC was sold during February! Who bought the lucky unit? Was it some executive from a Fortune 500 company buying the latest

CES and small computers...

While my OQO still hasn't arrived, I was able to borrow one from someone on the team who isn't really using his and thus I wanted to give the device a workout during an event that was in theory designed for the device. Well let's just say I had some technical

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

A really small computer

Over the last week, I've been playing with a development board from a chip manufacturer that is a relatively dated product in that it really isn't all that fast, doesn't use any cutting edge technology, but runs Windows XP at an acceptable level. Sure

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

OQO not on it's way :-(

Well appears that the OQO that I had ordered, wasn't really ordered, so I'm not going to get a Hannukah present this year, maybe in time for New Years or perhaps in time to take it for a test run at CES. Having had a few minutes to look at the one that

Having a second or third or fourth computer...

I know almost everyone out there who will read this blog has more than 1 computer at their disposal already, so what I really want to know is if you were to give an additional computer to your brother, sister, mom, dad, great aunt Sally, or whomever who

OQO on it's way?

So in my quest to have time on every small form factor machine out there and to figure out what the real end value is behind these devices, I did order an OQO. Appears it's somewhat backordered, as they got more orders than they expected -- which is either

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.

Tablets on Display...

In my previous post , Chris asks why not put this one of a kind Compaq prototype in the display case of all the tablets that is in the building where the tablet team is located. I'll see if I can find a picture of that display case that I can link off

New Tablet...

Well not exactly new, but new to me… This afternoon I was helping the Tablet User Research team clean out a storeroom where they’ve been keeping their equipment that was for studies. Interestingly enough there are all kinds of interesting
