So my Lenovo customer service rep thinks I’m insane. He had just called me back when there was an incident in Yucaipa, CA.
Me: Uh, hold on a sec.
Rep: Oh, okay.

Me: Yup, it’s a quake.
Rep: What?
Me: An earthquake. Hold on I need to go outside.

Writing a blog post about OneNote, in OneNote…that’s what I’m doing right now. Kinda circular isn’t it? I decided to go out and purchase Microsoft’s OneNote now, instead of waiting until I got my Tablet (the delivery of which Lenovo keeps pushing back) because I wanted to get used to the metaphor that OneNote uses before I really jumped into replacing my spiral notebook.

It looks as though CNET has some inside info that IBM is either announcing or releasing their tablet PC on Monday! This article coupled with a leak on the Lenovo site paint a picture of me with my credit card in hand on Monday.
Everyone seems pretty excited about IBM’s (Lenovo?) entry into the Tablet PC arena, and I have to agree. IBM’s notebook track record is very good with business users, and I think this will really add credibility to the platform as a whole.

I figured I should write something other than that ‘Hello World’ post that was generated. Well, this is my blog…wierd. Almost too easy to setup - Wordpress is cool. Hopefully this blog will serve as a way for me (and others, if I’m interesting enough) to spread information about how technology can work FOR you, not against you.
