Touched by Touch. My Wife Has a Change of Heart about Touch Devices

Touched by Touch. My Wife Has a Change of Heart about Touch Devices

My wife, Thomasin, might be familiar to some GBM readers for some videos she did here on the site awhile back. (Do a search here on the site for “Thomasin” if you want to catch some of the fun of those videos.) If you do remember those videos you’ll remember several things. First, she had [...]

I Feel Bad Because My Wife Has Now Become a Stall Surfer

I Feel Bad Because My Wife Has Now Become a Stall Surfer

There’s no secret that I believe that one of the chief advantages of using mobile gadgets is that it makes Stall Surfing even easier to do. I post about that frequently. Whether you’re using a Tablet, a smartphone, or an eBook Reader it doesn’t matter. Frankly, I think deep down in the hearts of engineers [...]

GBM InkShow: Thomasin Takes on the iPad

It had to happen sooner rather than later. My lovely wife Thomasin got a chance to check out the iPad briefly when we were with my Mom at the hospital. Now that things have settled down on that front, it was time for her to check it out for real and offer her first impressions. [...]

GBM InkShow: Thomasin Takes on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10T (Video)

When it comes to Netbooks, I let my wife Thomasin give them a whirl to find out what she is thinking. You may or may not remember that she has used the original Asus EEE Netbook and continues to use an HP Mini 1100 in her daily chores, which include mostly email, some web browsing [...]

Is Netbook Fatigue a New Syndrome?

Is Netbook Fatigue a New Syndrome?

Interesting timing. Last night my lovely wife Thomasin was clacking away on the keyboard of her HP Mini 1000 while sitting on the sofa. (The picture is from an earlier post.) After doing her thing for awhile, she uttered an expletive, and said she needed to put the Mini down as she felt some pain [...]

GBM InkShow: Thomasin Checks Out the HP Mini 2140

Once again, I called on my lovely wife Thomasin to help us out with a first look at a Netbook. If you recall she was involved when we first got our hands on the HP Mini 2133 and it is only fitting that she check out its successor, the HP Mini 2140. I’m glad we [...]

It is raining Netbooks in the Crocker/Savaiano household, and who better to check them out than my lovely wife, Thomasin. She does have an affinity for these small devices. She also seems to really like the idea behind Athena’s ArtPC. Athena has developed a process of embedding a design into the cover for their Netbooks [...]

GBM InkShow: Thomasin is Addicted to the HP Mini 1000

I knew when I won the HP Mini 1000 at CntrStg at CES 2009 that I was never really going to get to use it, once I returned home. I also knew that when my wife Thomasin picked it up the first time that my situation was hopeless. After a grueling few weeks of work [...]
