OnTheRun with Tablet PCs

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

It’s hard to keep up with those guys, James Kendrick and Marc Orchant of OnTheRun with Tablet PCs. And we don’t pretend to! They have just recorded # 6 of this great podcast series. Lyn and I were guests on their podcast last week and we had a blast. Check out OnTheRun with Tablet PCs here every week!

Tabletology takes a bow on the Tablet PC stage!

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Warner Crocker developed the Wicked Stage Ink Blots Awards! And Tabletology cleaned up big time! We are humble yet we can count to three! [Note from Lyn to Olga: can we say we cleaned up big time and then say that we are humble?] [Note from Olga to Lyn: of course, you are right, but hey it’s our blog and our awards!]
 

Warner developed the awards to pay tribute to the Tablet PC community. But he says it much better than we do:

It is a celebration of a community that I have come to know and admire. The Tableteers that make up the Tablet PC Community are an amazing collection of individuals who know and work with the Tablet PC platform. They are fiercely protective of it, insatiably curious about advancing it, very intelligent, often wickedly funny, at one time very forgiving and patient, and in the same breath, scathingly critical when the need arises. They are also exceedingly willing to evangelize the platform to anyone who will listen, and in my humble opinion, have helped keep the spotlight on The Tablet PC in ways that may, in the long run, prove to be responsible for keeping the platform thriving.

Ok and what awards did Tabletology.com humbly receive?

  • Most fun new Tablet PC blog
  • Best Tablet PC poem
  • Best "I’ll have eggs with my Tablet PC" post

Thank you Warner for the awards. It is much appreciated. We are having great fun thinking of and excecuting posts, setting up photo shoots, fighting with HP, various software and hardware! And we enjoy being part of the Tablet PC community. Check out his blog here.

Sumocat writes on Tablet PC

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

Sumocat joined the rapidly growing bevy of Tablet PC blogs a few months ago. I missed it then. Warner Crocker has a post on how Sumocat has posted a Tablet PC inspired Haiku (Japanese poetry) a few days ago (thanks Warner). This little cat has some interesting Tablet PC observations so be sure to check Sumocat out. Maybe one day Sumocat can play with our cat (Ego), if they can get along! The photo below demonstrates how Ego the Cat refuses to take second place to the Tablet PC!
 

Pimp my Tablet PC

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

There is a new kid on the Tablet PC blog scene called Pimp my Tablet: Looking for Ink in all the wrong places… Love the title! The author is a fellow Canadian, Mitch Tulluch, from Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is the author of books like The Microsoft Encyclopedia of Networking and The Microsoft Encyclopedia of Security. He received a Motion LE1600 in October and is sharing some thoughtful posts.
 
Tabletology.com had the opportunity to visit Winnipeg this Summer and we showed off our Tablet PCs at Portage and Main, one of those wild intersections to be seen anywhere (though confusion corner in Winnipeg is also impressively confusing)! Lynette was born in Winnipeg and then did her undergraduate at the University of Winnipeg. I have a soft spot for the prairies.
