David Pogue reviews the new Tungsten C in this New York Times story. Not yet available on the street, it just might tempt me back into the Palm world. I gave up on the PDAs when the rate of innovation exceeded my budget, and two Handspring Deluxes in a row turned out to be lemons.

Road Trip: Contoocook to Knoxville
On my way early tomorrow, driving from Contoocook to Knoxville. I-89 to 93 to 495 to 290 to 90 to 84 to 81 to 40. 985 miles as the crow flies, 1024 on my route. Layover in northern Virginia. Hope to arrive in time to get my broadband set up Monday afternoon. Wish me luck.
Microsoft dragging its heels at licensing software to competitors?
The Washington Post reports
Microsoft Corp. is taking too long to alter how much it charges competitors for technology that is necessary for their products to work with the software giant’s systems, the Justice Department told a federal judge yesterday.
Happy Fourth of July!
Enjoy Independence Day!
Email offline
Something’s gone wrong in my email configuration, and I’m trying to chase it down. Currently, email sent to the tedroche.com domain seems to be disappearing into the ether, without a trace nor a bounceback. Those of you who know me know the alternate email addresses to contact me; those who don’t can use the the little letter icon on the right. Sorry about that, folks.
TedRoche.com doesn’t support their own mail server, as I’ve left that to others. Typically, the MyDomain.com server holds the MX record, and they provide the forwarding to one or the other of my ISPs. Today, however, mail is vanishing without a trace, and no one seems to be able to explain why. Very frustrating.
And just like that, with no warning, it’s back. Go figure. Sorry if your mail got lost in the ether somewhere. Please resend.
A catchy phrase

The Hyperlinked Declaration of Independence, courtesy of Duke University. A wonderful document, with some interesting hyperlinks. Well worth reviewing for those interested in American history.
July? When did that happen?
Whew! “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans…” Time flies, and all that. Hope June was good for you, too. On the road, later today, so few posts until I’m back in the home office. Hope I can get out of town before the tropical storm peaks. Knoxville’s forecasted for 3 or 4 inches of rain tomorrow…
