I recently purchased a Compact Flash (CF) adapter that holds an SD card. The one I got was: SD-CF II: SD to CF Type II Adapter (Supports SDHC MMC) from Amazon for under $20. The reason I got this was to reduce some drag that was holding me back from…

For a while I've been doing a little bit of ambient information testing DIY style by loading up webpages that I want to see information from and then automatically moving through the tabs after ~20 seconds. These sites are loaded on an external display and then running in the "ambient"…

One of my co-workers recently came up with this handy DIY Moleskine (or other journaling notebook) hack to let you easily put in and remove productivity templates from DIYPlanner.com. Find the template you want to put in your moleskine, print it out, cut to size, and then use 'repositionable' glue…

I'm going on my fourth moleskine as my primary David Allen Getting Things Done (GTD) capture device. The first one covered 2005, for some reason 2006-2007 was captured in one, and last year (2008) went into a single moleskine. Here are some of the steps I've refined in setting up…

This Memorial Holiday weekend in San Diego looks very busy for us. When things start to look like they might get potentially out of control with the family schedule, I’ve found I like to have a ‘low-tech paper’ calendar for the family to look at in the kitchen. I usually…

I was shocked to learn that our 2006 family and kids Christmas pictures we took at JCPenny have digital rights management (DRM) features that makes it relatively impossible to scan into a visually usable graphics file using a recently purchased scanner. When I scan them on my HP C3100 I…

I’d like to point out a new site I’ve created to be more of a focal point for my content related to ‘podcasting’ and ‘new media’ in a bigger sense. It is AztecMedia.net. I am going to be moving nearly all of my blog discussions related to podcasting over to…

One of the main joys I am getting out of podcasting, is actually the relationships and friendships associated with other podcasters. The relationships with listeners is great also but it isn’t the same. In many ways it is the same great feeling I got working with other Newton enthusiast with…

I seem to be in a nearly constant state of working on being personally more efficient and productive. This seems to even creep in during vacation. So, while I can honestly say "I had a great two-week family beach camping vacation at San Elijo, CA" — it will seem strange…

A question came up via email from someone who wishes to remain anonymous — "Why Moleskine and not a PDA or my Tablet PC all the time?" For those that know my technical history, this is a good question. In the past I’ve been completely digital … from the Newton…
