Media in the New Millennium

posted by Doyle
I picked up a MiFi card from Sprint this past weekend. While the Palm Pre looks to be a pretty cool phone (no, as an iPhone guy I do not yet see a reason for device envy, especially with OS 3.0 just around the corner), it was almost too bad this device came out during [...]

Social media has come to jurisprudence, John Schwartz writes in today’s New York Times, and the result has judges, attorneys and legal scholars flummoxed.

At the risk of turning this into a gadget blog, I can’t resist writing a bit about the Garmin Nuvi, and really great gadget I’m playing with during my stay in Kansas City this week.
