What’s New w/ u(3)
January 31, 2006
* Human Bandwidth, Awakening the Extraordinary Within – by Gunnar Nilsson -Again, just started it, but it is not grabbing me. It will be a push for the first few chapters it appears.
* Velvet Elvis, Repainting the Christian Faith – by Robb Bell – Great book. I’m passing it around to several friends.
Update on previous reading material
* Back to Jerusalem was great. Passing it around as well. Want to know why the traditional North American church is slowly shrinking? Read this.
* Out of the Question, into the Mystery was very good as well. Not a fast read, it takes some reading and then some pondering and down time. Very deep and profound. His view of Abraham sacrificing Isaac will change how you look at that event and how you interact with God.
* Still loving Business 2.0, Make (where is my newest Make? Hasn’t arrived yet.) Wired, and Indeed. I dropped Sync. It had a couple new things, but mostly it is mainstream tech w/ sex thrown in to help it not become stagnate on the news stand.
New tech I’m using or at least keeping my eye on:
* Bought a U3 drive from Memorex. Supposed to arrive tomorrow. Really looking forward to trying it out on my next trip to China, instead of lugging a laptop.
This is going to be the next paradigm shift in how we use our computers. Look for Bluetooth to become secure, our phones to get a storage boost, and monitors to display from our phones, and charge them at the same time. Then we will all walk up to any computer, via our secured Bluetooth access our Desktop that resides on our phone’s memory, and do our work. Then when we walk away we take everything with us. If you still are using a clunky laptop (no one will be buying new desktops except corporations) it will sync w/ it the next time it is connected to the net.
Take it one further. You use voice commands and speech to text to run your pc on your phone, which is connected via the high speed cell network. Then who needs anything but a printer and a large touch screen?
-By the way, China has passed the US in number of High Bandwidth subscribing households.
