Holy Snapping Duck Do! I just climbed out from under my rock and realized I have not updated this since Hammertime was in the charts… You would not believe how terribly tardy the horsedrawn Victorian Internet can be. Apologies to my regular readers, even the little blue ones! I have become lost in a seaContinue reading “Holy Snapping Duck Do!”

My Dana by AlphaSmart, One Year In
I got my Dana wireless by AlphaSmart about thirteen months ago so it feels like a good time to comment on how well I like the electronic critter. I do this partly because last week I attended the Willamette (rhymes with dammit) Writers’ Conference a week ago. People saw me using my Dana to takeContinue reading “My Dana by AlphaSmart, One Year In”
Going Green
Here in the US, gas is above $4 a gallon and on its way to $5. Everyone is looking to save gas and lower their carbon footprint as well. Time to consider a hybrid? Read Who are you kidding? in Britain’s Telegraph first. “However much fuel it does or doesn’t save, the Toyota Prius hasContinue reading “Going Green”
Dana's here
The Dana wireless by Alphasmart showed up yesterday. It is way cool. It found my Powerbook G4 with no problem. I’ll be able to do my work on it and send the text to the Apple for editing. Now if it would only write a universally beloved novel for me, I’d be a happy guy.Continue reading “Dana's here”

Cool Running AlphaSmart
Well I’ve gone and drunk the Kool-Aid. I’ve ordered an AlphaSmart Dana wireless. I can’t wait for it to get here. When it does, I’ll take a picture to show you. I know I said the fact it only lasted 24+ hours on a charge vs the 120 hours of the Alphasmart 2000 or theContinue reading “Cool Running AlphaSmart”
Alphasmart in the car
My friend Carl celebrated his 30th anniversary in ministry Sunday. Carl’s been at St. Luke’s Lutheran (ELCA) for about 15 years; he’s one of the most grounded and compassionate people I know. I met Carl, wife Triss, and daughter Holly when Carl answered the call for pastoring at Trinity Lutheran in Porterville, CA where IContinue reading “Alphasmart in the car”

AlphaSmartie Pants
I love gadgets. My latest bit of technology is a tad dated—a nifty AlphaSmart 2000. It weighs under three pounds, is pretty darn near indestructible, and goes 120-300 hours on three AA batteries. I bought it used on eBay for around $40US.The power adapter is missing (I knew that when I bought it) but, likeContinue reading “AlphaSmartie Pants”
Can You Hear Me Now?
I read Alan Hutcheson’s online journal (please, do not call it a blog) today and he comments on a certain American Express commercial. He says that besides the humor ablating away with numerous viewings, that he doesn’t know any of the other celebs in the spot other than Scorcese and Ellen DeGeneres. I have zeroContinue reading “Can You Hear Me Now?”
