I’m a long-time Palm user: I’ve owned four different Palm OS devices over the past 12 years from the original Pilot 1000 to my Treo 680. Palm is finally starting to do some advertising, and the latest round of Santa’s Gone Centro videos are pretty funny. I’m looking forward to CES next week as Palm [...]

Ubuntu on the Eee

WIJFR: The Call of Cthulhu
“In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” I’ve had H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu” in e-book form on my Treo for some time now (reading it slowly in bits and pieces as I found myself with a little time to kill) and finally finished it. I was first introduced to the Chthulhu [...]

Tethering the Treo 680 and Eee PC
Next week I’ll be taking a road trip vacation up the east coast which means a lot of time in the car. I thought it would be cool to be able to use my Eee PC in conjunction with my Treo 680′s data connection to get on the ‘net while (literally) on the road (instead [...]
Palm Treo 650
After starting out in the Palm camp back in 1996, then switching to Pocket PC and hp’s iPAQ line in 2001, I’m now a Palm user again. I got a Palm Treo 650 through work, and I love it … finally I don’t have to carry my PDA, cell phone, and G100 (e-mail device). I’ve [...]
