I have seen the future and it is ...


Wow, one of my favorite blogs is the Alpineinker and it is a blog by Ken Hinkley of Microsoft Research Labs specifically dealing with a unique software product called Inkseine which is a really great application made for tablet pc's ... it takes inking to a new level.

Anyway Ken was musing about his project "CODEX" this screen shot says it all ... by allowing the flow of two screens, you can suddenly do what you would normally do with a notebook but suddenly so much better ... you can search and markup ideas .. paste them on a master screen and then start a naturally flowing thread ...

As if on cue, another of my favorite daily reads jkOnTheRun pointed out a dissertation that highlights the cognizant benefits of pen and paper ... extend this idea to the tablet pc, look at the above screen shot and see the future ...
