Here come the reviews

Now that we have survived the Mayan apocalypse, we need to survive the reviews of the past year. Lists of everything from best dressed to disasters will be replayed endlessly for the next couple of weeks. Maybe the apocalypse would be preferable.

End of the world, 21-Dec-2012

I want to announce my last post as the world is going to end Friday. I don't think I want to spend my last days blogging. I'll be the guy partying his brains out.

Facetious? Maybe just a bit.

See you Sarurday--enjoy the end!

Where are you lately?

I find myself using my Android tablet more than my laptop to interact with the web. I don't have a fancy phone, but imagine if I did I'd use that also. I imagine I'm not alone in this movement toward devices other than the computer as a physical place of interaction. I do consume more than I create on the tablet. I still find a keyboard a necessity for real content creation and don't really care for the on-screen version.

Where do you access your places? I bet for most, it's on some sort of portable device today. Will the computer go away? I don't think so, but it may move more toward the tablet and smaller portable devices. We already see the trend with windows 8 and its apps. See you in your place.

More on OneNote

I just saw a page from Microsoft on OneNote for Android and it's sort of right and sort of not. The app is OK if you are reading or working on EXISTING books but needs some work if you are creating pages from scratch. As you might know I'm a major OneNote fan. I think it's the one application that big M got right. I have often said that a tablet with a fully-functional OneNote will get SERIOUS consideration from me. I sure hope that the Win8 tablets have that sort of support. Right now, the app on the Android is OK for my use, but I really would like to see it more fully-functional and not so dependent on SkyDrive.

An interesting perspective on the recent riots

Peace Be Upon You http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/human_nature/2012/09/mohammed_movie_embassy_attacks_don_t_let_internet_videos_drive_you_to_violence_.html

Take a look at this opinion piece. He contends that the rioters are falling into the 'script' set by the film's creators by rioting. They need to get out of that place and back into THEIR place. Of course, maybe this IS the place where radical leaders WANT them to be for their own purposes.

Either way, they are being manipulated for some purpose.

Don't let someone else take you to a place you don't want to be. On the Internet, if you don't like the place you're at, leave.

News360 Upgrade looks good but crashes constantly

I just installed the new upgrade of News360 on my Acer A100. The interface looks great but the program crashes every few seconds making it useless. I guess the authors didn't bother to test it. A good place ruined. Hope they put out a revision correcting the flaws soon. It looks like a good advance on a place that I have enjoyed.

Twitter targets ads -- great

I'm trying this more as a test than actual interest in the subject, but sheesh. Just what we need in one of our places, more ads.

So I'm trying out the options on my Android tablet for referencing articles on websites. This one is the interface to Blogger from the browser. It seems to have worked as advertised to post this blog.
