Okay folks, we have a semisolid live date for Solo Media. Publishing gets reinvented February 1, 2005.
We’ve still got some stuff to iron out in the next two months, though. Most importantly, distribution and pricing.

One of the hot topics in IT right now is open standards, using technology
that doesn’t lock you down to a particular vendor. This is different than
open source, giving your actual code away to anyone that wants it. For
example, Microsoft Word 2003 isn’t open source; Microsoft protects the
source code used to compile Word from anyone other [...]

I’ve had some problems settling on an office suite for my Zodiac.
For a long time, I’d bounced between WordSmith and Documents To Go.
WordSmith was the better pure word processor, but now that I’m doing
independent consulting, I find more need for Excel and yes, even
PowerPoint. Moreover, now that I’m connected once again, the ability to
save and [...]

Hi, folks,
With all apologies to Jeff and Josh, and the group, I’m sorry I haven’t posted at all. I’ve become quite busy in lab as I push to finish my PhD. And my wife and I have been preparing for our firstborn.

At least if you live in South Korea.
Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea: “The email era is coming to an end because replacement communication means such as Internet messengers, mini-homepages (dubbed ‘one-man media’), and SMS are wielding their power. As a consequence, the stronghold of email, once the favorite of [...]

PPCW.Net - THOUGHT: Is browsing the Internet via PDA and GPRS a good idea?: “The outlook for the PDA-friendly ‘mobile Internet on the go’ appears to be mixed. At least, the evolutionary progress is on hold right now, or shall I call it consolidation? Or did the wireless carrier loose interest in the PDA-friendly web [...]

I got to thinking recently (never a good sign). Why are writers the only artists/craftspeople that need editors? Painters, carpenters, etc. create without passing the result through the filter of someone else. Why is it not only acceptable for writers to use an editor, but assumed that they should? Heck, even film directors get to [...]
