Review: Promises by Jude Deveraux (A VOOK for iPhone)
There’s been a little buzz lately about a new e-publishing concept called the Vook, a supposed marriage of video and text. If you believe all the press releases, the Vook is the future of publishing, the salvation of readers everywhere, and the best thing to happen for authors since the invention of movable type. Of [...]
It’s D(TV) Day!
Today is the day! It’s here! The big shutdown of Analog Television has arrived! (Yawn.) Okay, be honest: Are you ready for the digital television conversion? Yeah, I thought you were. Anyone who doesn’t know that by midnight tonight all full-power analog TV transmitters will be shut down has to be Amish—and I have it [...]
Mac Users: Are You At Risk?

By the way, Cingular 3G is live in Little Rock!
I actually discovered that Cingular’s 3G HSDPA data service was up and running a while back, and verified that it was there (testing if nothing else) when I got the new Dell Latitude D820 with its built-in HSDPA card. It worked pretty well back then, and it’s still working well today. The difference is that [...]
Cingular 3G in Philly, but I miss Sandy Cove.
I’m writing from gate E1 at the Philadelphia International Airport. There’s a lovely WiFi signal here, and it’s free in a few hotspots on concourses B abd C. However, it’s eight bucks a day here in concourse E, and I’m just too cheap for that. Cingular 3G to the rescue! I’m getting a great 3G signal here, [...]
