Time for me to look at Evernote again. For a while now I’ve been trying to find a good, simple solution that lets me take notes at my work computer, or on my iPhone, and easily copy those notes to my current WIP. I’ve tried Simplenote, and love it. Especially works well with Notational Velocity. [...]

by bestep on 29. Jun, 2010 in Technology
The tree-hugger in me is getting all goose-pimply again. Check out the Ecoped CityGo. I know electric drive bikes are not anything new, but these are pretty darn cool looking, and a perfect urban fit. Now I just need an urban that I fit in. Enjoy!
Electric Flight
by bestep on 27. Jun, 2010 in Technology
Interesting article over at The Economist about electric powered flight. The idea of flying electric has lots going for it. An electric motor can deliver a huge amount of torque, or turning force, which is what gives electric cars such rapid acceleration, and is good for turning propellers, too.

A work friend of mine, that shares my office supply fetish, found this very cool device at Brookstone called the Boogie Board. It’s a simple little pad and stylus that you can draw/write on, then click a button and it clears…ready for more notes. There have been many non-electronic version of this over the years. [...]

Well of course it has. But I just got mine! Yeah! Even with the shipping address snafu, the amazing fedex people and Apple folks managed to fix my oversight and still get the phone to me *almost* on time. First impression: It’s gorgeous! Pretty snappy as well, compared to my old iPhone 3g. (I never [...]

The EFF has created a great Firefox plugin, called HTTPS Everywhere, that will use the encrypted option (https) automatically when available. Great idea! Here’s a nice quick review from The Command Line.

Boy, oh boy! I’m pretty excited about the iPhone 4 finally coming out. I marked my calendar and managed to preorder on June 15th. It took some doing. I wasn’t able to get an order to go through till after midnight, but it was worth it. All excited, I noticed Sunday I had a shipping [...]
