The last week has positively flown by. I’m being much less productive than I hoped to be with my month off but I can tell that I need it. My batteries were pretty drained after the last 7 months. On some level it’s disappointing but for now I’m enjoying the vacation. I injured my wrist [...]
So, a quick post of things that have been happening. It’s official. Apple and Palm are at war. And I couldn’t be happier about it.
