This morning an article came across my feed that crystallized to me how wrong-headed the tech blogosphere is about the stylus. In this Read-write-web article, the author argues that the iPad isn't a proper drawing surface. I am in complete agreement with this point. A touchable interface is the cornerstone of the Tablet experience. Unfortunately, the Tablet fails when it comes to the production of artistic works.

Recently I snagged a beta account for Microsoft Office 365, also known as Office BPOS. My recent use of Chrome OS for most of my daily computing and recently leaked screenshots of Windows 8 have me thinking.

So the Techworld is abuzz with news of Research in Motion's Blackberry Playbook. (Pictureful review here.) The 7-inch device is the newest entrant into the quickly crowding market of Tablet PCs. Unfortunately, the Playbook's intial impressions all come back the same way:

"It's half-baked".

My brain is too noisy right now to go back to sleep.

Experience tells me that this usually happens when I wake up hungry, but my dullard of a stomach isn't bright enough to realize that fact until the best hours of the night have passed. So, while my stomach is being satisfied with a piece of peanut butter toast, I figure I'll squeeze in a little writing. I was considering keeping this in my paper journal, but this doesn't seem, somehow, constructive.
