April 30, 2005 – 10:17 am
Should be interesting, although I favored Sipura’s wares over Linksys – I wonder if they will lock them to a VoIP vendor like the existing Linksys ATAs or keep them open?

Font fights dyslexia
April 26, 2005 – 11:49 am
There is a new font out called Read Regular, that has the interesting goal of making it easier for dyslexic people to read. From the looks of the samples, it should be easier to distinguish a b from a d. While this font should be significantly easier to read, it would also be much harder [...]

April 26, 2005 – 7:32 am

April 22, 2005 – 6:14 am
The StompBox (Mobile 3G/WiFi Router Project) caught my eye as being one of those projects that is truly cool and makes a huge difference in the creator’s use of technology. I can’t wait until there is an $80 Linksys device that does this like the creator speculates. That and unlimited mobile data not being $80/month, [...]
