  1. @empg @zinio pragprog.com has a good way of getting their content onto Kindle's and might be worth looking to as a model.
  2. @empg @zinio Right, but that is just another device with a backlit display.
  3. Reality can be beaten with enough imagination. noteaquote.com/quote/3288
  4. Prosperity is a great teacher adversity a greater. noteaquote.com/quote/9090
  5. Hard drive the physically self destructs. Mission Impossible style... youtube.com/watch?feature=…!
  6. @empg Zinio is a good idea, but lack of Kindle support is inconvenient. I prefer to not read on backlit displays anymore than I have to.
  7. Interesting way to learn a foreign language: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…
  8. @Ergotron Interesting. It looks a bit small. Would it wobble with two 24 inch monitors and one 30 inch on MX arms?
  9. I'm looking for a new desk with better wire management. Leaning toward the Bivi by @turnstone (myturnstone.com/products/bivi-…)
  10. @MyTurnstone No I mean of just the trough up close so I can see how I could hook into it.
  11. @MyTurnstone Do you have a diagram showing where you can affix a monitor to the trough? I'm not seeing the details on the pdfs of that area
  12. @MyTurnstone OK so it is possible to mount a clamp to the slot? I couldn't find a detailed drawing or photo of the slot to see.
  13. @MyTurnstone I need an actual arm like: ergotron.com/Products/tabid… or store.steelcase.com/products/fyi-m… Is there a way to hook to the table?
  14. @MyTurnstone How monitor arm friendly is the Bivi? Can't seem to find any docs about attaching arms.
