The focus of this part is on how I looked carefully at actual needs and usage patterns to make my decision. To review quickly and reset the scene: I came to the conclusion it was time to consider buying a new laptop computer. I had broken the keyboard on my Tablet PC. My trusty Sony Vaio had just completed work on my book, but was five years old. And, this is a very important.http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/07/my_new_laptop_computer_is_an_ipod_touch_part_2.h... Collaboration Tech: Around the Corner or Around the World- July 24, 2008 This month's issue of the ABA's Law Practice Magazine is out and it has an international theme. Lots of good articles, but I especially wanted to highlight an article called "Collaborative Technologies: Working with Others Around the Corner or Around the World," by Tom Mighell and me. We based the article on some of the main themes of our new book on collaboration tools and technologies. This article is designed as an short introduction to the topic of collaboration tools. The sidebar...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/07/collaboration_tech_around_the_corner_or_aroun.ht... Talking 3G and other Wireless Acronyms- July 23, 2008 I'll get back to my blog series, "My New Laptop Computer is an iPod Touch," tomorrow, but wanted to point you to my latest technology column in the ABA Journal, which has an iPhone theme. My editor, Reg Davis, had been suggesting a column that explained some of today's telcom and wireless acronyms. I liked the idea, although I was not quite as enthused about the topic as he was, in part because telcom acronyms are a world of their own. However, when the new iPhone launched with all the...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/07/talking_3g_and_other_wireless_acronyms.html My New Laptop Computer is an iPod Touch - Part 2 - Framing the Question(s)- July 18, 2008 I suspect that it won't surprise most readers that I have more than one computer. It might not even surprise readers how many computers I have and use regularly. I also tend to keep and use computers a long time. So, deciding it's time for a new computer is a big deal for me. And it always strikes me as a way to come up with material for a new article or blog post. In early 2008, a visitor to my house might find me using either my HP Tablet PC or my trusty old Sony Vaio notebook...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/07/my_new_laptop_computer_is_an_ipod_touch_part_1.h... My New Laptop Computer is an iPod Touch - Part 1 - Introduction- July 17, 2008 My readers have often enjoyed my writings on why I decide to purchase or use a product or technology. That doesn't surprise me, because I enjoy reading about people's decisions about and experiences with new technologies. In fact, one of my articles on that topic, "The Best is the Enemy of the Good," is one of my most popular articles and one of my personal favorites. So, I want to write a multi-part series of posts on my most recent purchase, an iPod Touch, which was the answer to my recent.http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/07/my_new_laptop_computer_is_an_ipod_touch_part.htm... When a Lawyer Has to Leave a Law Firm: Reputation and Other Issues- July 8, 2008 As this recent article indicates, lawyers are more than a little nervous about job security today (I take the stats with at least a grain of salt, but the trend is definitely interesting). That's no surprise in a time of shaky (or worse) economic news. As Carolyn Elefant notes, there is far less guidance for lawyers on how to leave a job - and to leave it professionally - than there is on how to find a job. Her new article, "Dont Neglect Your Reputation When Leaving A Firm," is an excellent.http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/07/when_a_lawyer_has_to_leave_a_law_firm_reputat.ht... |
