INETA Board

Chris Pels and I have become board members for INETA, joining INETA founder Bill Evjen, Keith Pleas, Dave Noderer, Keith Franklin and Brian Loesgen. Chris and I are co-chairs for the User Group Relations committee and we are very lucky to have many awesome people on the committee that we will be able to shift the reigns to. Here’s Bill’s blog post on the subject.

I’m sure Amy Sorokas Mougeotte won’t mind my pasting this from an April 2002 email she sent which was the first time I had heard of INETA. Amy was working for SAMS and I was registering Vermont.NET to their User Group Book Club.

Has your group joined INETA yet? http://www.ineta.org

Thanks Amy! Amy now works for Microsoft in a job where she is very involved with INETA, so we will continue to work together.

Wow – Loren’s Circuit Tablet app is really cool

Loren Heiny is a developer who totally get’s tablets! His circuit drawing application wow’s me in the same way that XThink does. It helps me think out of the box of data entry applications.

Loren has a short powerpoint deck, but one of the slides actually has an animated demo where you can see this thing in action. You can get to it from here. I have already forwarded it to a friend who is the associate dean of UVM’s Engineering School (who has handy access to a tablet).

Peter’s blogging up a storm

yeah – Peter Rysavy’s blogging again with his rapid fire posts and great insights. He’s happy to see Tablet PC ISV Business Development lead Frank Gocinski blogging (as all of us tablet geeks are!), thrilled with the promise of the Tablet PC Gaming SDK and more. He even has a new domain “Peter on Tech“! I’m not the only one whose happy to see him posting again! Larry and Loren have also commented. I like Peter’s point about Microsoft’s persistence with the TabletPC. Frank and many others believe in this technology with all of their hearts and are fighting an uphill battle in terms of marketing. Eventually, Tablets will be laptops, laptops will be tablets and digitizers on the desk will be commonplace.
