I was reading this post yesterday on ProfHacker, and the author was asking where are the PDAs in today's smartphone world?  PDAs...you know!  Those pieces of technology from the mid-to-late 90s that were not connected to the internet and held information like your addressbook, calendar, notepad (and of course the games!). The author is contemplating getting an iPod Touch and a cheap, voice-only,

Well, this is retro! A floppy drive that grows some legs to avoid spilling liquids (that invade from the bottom - top invading liquids are still a problem) ;-) I haven't used a floppy disk or a floppy drive in close to 10 years now so I took this to be more of an art installation rather than something of actual use :-) Floppy Legs Portable Hard Drive from James Chambers on Vimeo.

I love summer! I can actually kick back on the weekend, without any homework and just enjoy the weather (or a movie).

A friend of mine emailed me a link to this game based on the hit UK series the IT Crowd. The game was pretty entertaining, but I think I wouldn't sit at my computer to play a browser game like this (who's got time?) I echo some of the responses left as comments: Do make an iPhone game out of this! :-) If you don't know what IT crowd is, catch up with it here: Seasons 1 through 3 (and Season

I saw this video the other day of the BlackBerry OS version 6 on the net. The two things that stroke me were (1) the non-enterprise-ness of the features shown off, and (2) the complete reliance on touch-screens.
