ISS 2010 - Vancouver, BC

Great news! I just received an acceptance letter from the ISS organizing committee.  Looks like I'll be giving a pre-symposium workshop in Vancouver, next March.  The workshop is scheduled from 9am to 12noon on March 10th.  I plan to pack the program full of great custom seating info that I've been expounding over the years. It will include the most recent techniques I've developed for finding the bridge-point of equilibrium.

Notes to new members:

Welcome! If you're new to social networks you're in for a surprise.  This medium makes it very easy to create and contribute content of your choosing.  The first time you upload anything, the system will create a Member Page just for you.   Anything you add after that point will automatically be stored on your page.  You can modify the layout and look of your Member Page any way you desire.  Don't be afraid to experiment.  You can't break anything.

The Productivity Aspects Of An iTouch

I've only had my iTouch for a few weeks and everyday I learn something new about its range of capabilities. For those not familiar with the device the iTouch is actually promoted by Apple as an MP3 player and gaming platform. However, when you look at it from the perspective of an iPhone, it has almost all of its capability, thanks to a treasure trove of iPhone programs (applications, apps) that are completely functional on the iTouch. From this multi-functional perspective I've been looking at… Continue

The Amazing iPod Touch (iTouch)

My wife and I each have 13" Dell laptops, which are perfect for our lifestyle. I carry mine back and forth to work almost daily and it has made a big difference from having to be tethered by a desktop. However, for road, airline or cruise travel we use hers; for fear of loosing important business and contact data. Yet, as small and lightweight as a 13" is, it is still an inconvenience to carry around on a regular basis. So, roughly six months ago I began looking around for a better solution. On… Continue
