Celebrating Loren’s life

by Loren on July 27, 2010

Loren Heiny passed away on Sunday, July 25, 2010. We are gathering to celebrate his life and all the joys he brought to our lives. Please join our family on Saturday, July 31 at 2pm. We will be at our sister’s home for a picnic, which Loren loved. We’ll have lots of hugs and Loren’s favorite foods: hamburgers and hot dogs, and home made ice cream.

There will be time for stories, sharing photos, and doing things Loren enjoyed. We have a couple of Loren’s model airplanes that you can fly and we’ll have some rockets to set off. Feel free to bring your own also, or anything else to share your memories of Loren.

The weather will be warm (high 70s to mid 80s), with chance of monsoon late afternoon. Please dress for a picnic (shorts, tshirts / polo shirts, sundress).

If you are unable to join us in Prescott Valley then please consider participating by having your own family picnic celebration. We’d appreciate you sharing these events with our family by sending us photos and videos.

One more Sketchbook Pro doodle

Another bad sketch on iPad

Another bad sketch.
I’m trying some other styles, but so far this is the best of the worst. Finger drawing on Sketchbook Pro is not so easy. I see other people creating impressive drawings so I know it’s possible. Just need about 10 years of practice and drawing skills from birth.
Tada.

Sketching with Sketchbook Pro on iPad

Composing first blog post on iPad

This is my first attempt at writing a blog post using the iPad and the new Wordpress iPad app.
So far my conclusion after finger typing one sentence is that this isn’t exactly as easy as I would have thought it would be.
Typing isn’t difficult, but then again it’s not that easy. I keep making simple [...]

Apple’s Oscal-staring iPad ad

An Apple iPad commercial graced the Oscars last night. The ad did a good job of highlighting the various features of the iPad though I’m not quite sure it was or is as effective as the first round of iPhone ads.
Engadget has a few more tidbits on the ad here along with a copy of [...]

Editing on an Apple iPad

What’s it like to edit, let’s say a slideshow, using the forthcoming Apple iPad? Is it easy?
Here’s a short video that gives an idea of what it’s like:

Looks like it’s nicely done.

Is the Apple tablet taking over search engines?

Real-time search has been the talk of search engine mechanics for a better part of a year now. So in the sluggishly fast paced world of Apple tablet rumors how do the big two search engines compare?
Searching for the generic term “tablet” in both Google an Bing, what shows up more frequently: breaking news rumors [...]

Robert Scoble: Lessons Steve Jobs has learned from the NEC Tablet PC

Robert Scoble nails it with his analysis of what Steve Jobs has probably learned from the failed NEC LitePad Tablet PC–which, in my estimation was one of the best Tablet PCs to date.
The LitePad was the second Tablet PC I purchased at the time and was the first slate form factor I owned. In large [...]

What happens if the Apple tablet doesn’t live up to its hype?

I know these are difficult words to ask for some, but it’s time to be asked:
“What if the Apple tablet doesn’t live up to its hype?”
What if Amazon CTO Werner is correct and sane judgment has been “suspended?”
What if this is all a masterful attempt at getting us to watch an announcement for…for…for…gasp…a new [...]

Join the Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC recall

Rob Bushway over at Gottabemobile is right on target: It’s time for Dell and N-Trig to work together to solve the numerous problems that the Dell XT is experiencing, namely false clicks, resume from sleep/hibernation issues, poor multitouch experience, and more. Quite simply the Dell Latitude does not work as advertised. And it definitely does [...]

James Kendrick on slates and tablets @CES

James Kendrick inks (literally): “None of the slates at CES can do this. None of them.”
He’s pointing out that slates at CES, seem to be touch biased and not ink minded.
The comments in his thread point out the ins and out of exactly what is a tablet and what is a slate, to no real [...]

Foxconn shopping slate design

Ryan Shrout showed off a Foxconn slate prototype on the Leo Laporte CES broadcast yesterday.
He didn’t have many details, except that it contains the latest generation of Tegra technology–presumably in order to enable full-speed video playback.
There appears to be touch as well as a bezel that’s thick enough to comfortably hold the typical USB connectors.
In [...]

Super fast projected capacitve touch from 3M

3M’s M2256PW 20-finger multitouch display is quite impressive. 10 ms update rate and smooth tracking. I give two thumbs up.
[Via Engadget]
OK, 3M, what about multi-touch “skin” on the display casing–which would be particularly useful for mobile and handheld devices?

Neowin quickly demos a Pegatron slate

Neowin has a quick video and some screenshots that show the Pegatron slate running Windows 7. You can see it here.
The video, though, gives a good idea how the 11.6″ screened device works:

No mention of weight that I can find. Still looking. Under a pound is a must for long term use if you ask [...]
