I was blessed with the gift of a Kindle DX recently. Hats off to Amazon; I think they have clearly set the benchmarok for e-book readers. The unit is thin and light. The screen is _amazingly_ sharp and easy to read. It holds about a gazillion books (see Amazon site for details) and book download is automatic, via cell-phone technology. No charge for airtime, either.

Here at Plans2Reality World Headquarters we have been evaluating various solar technologies with an eye to getting our electricity bill down a little bit. Of course, we could just buy a system from a local contractor on a turnkey basis, but where's the fun in that? ;-)

There's a lot of buzz around wearable tech at this year's Electronica. Of course, in many ways we already have wearable tech, from Bluetooth headsets to armband-iPods to Wii game controllers.

The good people at Network World Magazine have assembled an article on the Seven Wonders of the Internet World:
http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/16806
It's an interesting roundup. (Good job, Paul McNamara! - and kudos to the graphic artist.) Some of the entries are what you'd expect; some are surprising.
Questions to ponder:
- How has the Internet changed _your_ marketing and PR?
- Could you be doing more with it?

It has been a contention of mine that each wireless device you buy adds one more wire to the number of wires you own. Here at Plans2Reality World Headquarters, we own dozens of wireless gizmos and therefore have multiple dozens of power wires snaking around to provide power for same.
But the whiz-kids at MIT seems to have found a good way to couple useful levels of energy over room-sized distances without wires:

The demo design moves 60 watts over a 2-meter range, though the apparatus is a bit bulky. Presumably at lower power levels and shorter distances, the device could be smaller. All in all an excellent idea, but how efficient is it? In particular, how much power does it use when it is idling, not charging anything?

The title says it all.
You are remembered, and appreciated. As you always will be, so long as there is liberty in the world.
