My 2 year contract was ending with Verizon. They have called me 3 times now to renew a contract and see if I’d like to pick a new phone – either free for heavily discounted. Each time they have called I have looked at the phones while on the phone with them and couldn’t make a quick and informed decision. I know I would like a camera phone with Blue Tooth. Their “free” phones don’t have blue tooth. I can get one with bluetooth for $100, but then I think – geeze, maybe I should just fork it over and get a BlackBerry or better yet, a smartphone, but they don’t have those in their promotion. I finally just said forget a new phone – just renew my contract. So now I continue with my plain old phone. I cannot justify $500 for a phone. I have a pocket pc and I have a phone. Yes I want to smoosh them together and have just ONE device (and have it also be an MP3 player that I can listen to in my car). It was easier just to make NO decision, than to have to choose. So welcome to the life of a Libra!

Loren is a developer who definitely is a “big brain” when it comes to thinking about WHAT we can do with ink, not just how to use it.
I can’t point to this post of his without quoting him: I’ve heard it said many times: “I’m a developer. I type code. Why do I need a Tablet PC or even ink?”
Check out what he has done (well, is still working out) in regards to inking notes into your IDE code or while debugging. Very cool!
Don Box reports that the first Indigo book is on the shelves. He refers to author David Pallman as an “indigette”. 🙂
