Since the first Kindle was released, Amazon has offered a device that’s the perfect storm for this tech-loving book lover. Or is it book-loving tech lover? Either way, I’m a lover, and tech gadgets and books sit high on my affinity list. Put all that together, and I took a serious look at the Kindle Fire when it was announced.… Read more

Hands on With the Kindle
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, while we were all listening to Peter Gabriel, I ordered the new $79 Kindle model. The three readers in our house have been happily passing it around the last few weeks. We’re making the jump from the Kindle 2 to this model, having skipped the Kindle 3 (aka the Kindle Keyboard).… Read more
Ranking the PDF Reading Apps
PDFs and I have not always gotten along very well. They offer almost universal access of a document, but they are usually the second best method to deliver the content in question. (Not to single anyone out, but I’m thinking about you, restaurant websites, and your PDF menus.)
I like to think of myself as a person that’s open to growth who can change his mind about something.… Read more
Review: Mac at Work
Last Thursday, I pulled a bulky envelope from my mailbox, happy to peel back the flap and find David Spark’s new book, Mac at Work (paperback | Kindle). David graciously offered to send me a copy for review a few months ago and I’ve been anticipating it’s arrival. By the time I crawled in bed, I’d skimmed* or intently read every one of the 368 pages.… Read more

I can’t promise you that a Greek linguist would say there is such a thing as a logophiliac, but I know there is such a thing as a lover of words.… Read more
hands on with the iPad
In the first week or so after the iPad was released, I tried one out, whether a store demo or a friends, four or five times. This week, I became an official, and pretty gosh darn happy, iPad owner.
There have been a lot of reviews written, mostly favorable, and many saying the same things.… Read more
hands on with pdfpen
Let me begin with a mild disclaimer. Everyone once in a while, I get an email from a software developer asking if I’d like to review their software. I enjoy reviewing software, but I often turn down those opportunities. I try to limit my reviews to those pieces of software that I would actually find useful and that fit within the direction of this blog.… Read more
hands on with the kindle 2
Yesterday, brown trucks across the country began delivering the streamlined Kindle 2 to delighted readers and gadget freaks. I got my hands on one late yesterday and have had some time to play with it. As an owner of the previous Kindle, I had a number of immediate impressions. First off, let me say that the packaging is beautiful as these unboxing photos at Engadget reveal.… Read more
actiongear: review (and giveaway!)
I have written another guest post for MacSparky. It is a review of a task management app called ActionGear. If you are turned off by the complex feature set of Things or OmniFocus, then ActionGear might work for you.
The developer of ActionGear has graciously offered two free licenses for readers of Creativityist (and there is similar giveaway at MacSparky).… Read more
