riteMail Electronic Ink comes to a PDA near you "`riteMail shows off the power and flexibility of the Palm Operating System -- being able to send email in your own handwriting directly from a Palm handheld is simply too cool, not to mention genuinely useful,' said Chris Dunphy, Director of Competitive Analysis, PalmSource, Inc.

PalmSource 2002 Day 3 Summary "I concluded my final day at PalmSource 2002 yesterday and my overall take on the show was that it was a success. Traffic throughout the expo and developer sessions was brisk and while I can't say most were bubbling with enthusiasm, I can say that a fair amount of developers and product vendors feel the current changes being made are steps in the right direction."

Inside the Mind of a Rogue. "p i x e l v i e w - behind the screen with Carrie Bickner of Rogue Librarian...." [meryl's notes] Today's score: librarians - 3. Fujitsu Clears Up the Small Print.

I'm trying to be good and not read my news aggregator during actual class time. ;-) Sorry I can't provide more commentary right now, but I'll post links and add thoughts later. Okay, here's what happened. Yesterday I was listed in the What's New list for the Librarians' Index to the Internet.
