    Apr 6 2010: So how did you like the book after all?

    I totally agree to your comment about having stories based on facts. It just gives the people something to relate to, makes the narrative tangible for every listener.

    Still, I guess almost all stories include a small piece of truth upon which the story rests. How much it gets distorted and blown out of proportion afterwards is probably up to the individual storyteller, though.

  • A reply on Talk: Anand Agarawala demos BumpTop

    Oct 13 2009: Allan, I also agree with you on points like still shaky usability and limited mass market compability.

    Yet, essentially the idea is similar to something other big players are doing as well. Microsoft for example has been showing of some off its touch computing or surface computing already (see http://www.metacafe.com/watch/618189/microsoft_surface_computing_the_power/) which has a similar feel to it and is centered on the very same idea - to enhance the user experience by creating a user interface that comes closer to the actual workplace or desk.

    Also, in comments about this or related videos people have been cheering and praising this new technology just as well as others have been laughing at the same time.

    But thinking about the beginning of desktop computing and people laughing about the concept of using a mouse device to operate their computers, to me, the laughing people are more like a chance - to turn laughter into astonishment.
