I have a question: Have you tried UPad for marking up PDFs? I have not bought iAnnotate, and already own UPad ... I really like it's PDF markup mode, and find the handwriting freestyle engine superb for control / filtering intended strokes to the level that I can enjoy the detail. Is iAnnotate's freehand stroke engine similar? I would really appreciate any comparisons you can make for these two apps. UPad offers a free lite version. Thanks for any help along these lines, Richard PS .. feel free to email me directly to carry this discussion offline. Hi Trauman,

Love it! I've been using two monitors for years now, currently a 23.6" and a 22". I find that I "have" to work on my desktop now because of the efficiency of working with more than one monitor. You are right. It's great for teaching and for writing. But hmmm...now I'm thinking I need to upgrade to three :-) Charlie Three monitors? Love it!

]]> Comment on Book Futurist, or Book Forecaster? by Andy Hines http://ryantrauman.com/blog/2010/12/17/book-futurist-or-book-forecaster/comment-page-1/#comment-16843 Andy Hines Mon, 27 Dec 2010 19:16:56 +0000 http://ryantrauman.com/blog/?p=1811#comment-16843 I teach at the University of Houston's Futures Studies Program. Paul is in our Board of Director and a good friend, but I think his distinction between forecaster and futurists is off the mark. As a rule, futurists do not advocate for any particular outcome. When futurist do advocate, we call it a normative forecast, and I suppose you could call someone who advocates all the time a normative futurist. But that is pretty rare.

]]> Comment on Another Plea to Stop Criticizing Ebooks Because You’re Nostalgic about Dead-tree Books by Mike http://ryantrauman.com/blog/2010/11/24/another-plea-to-stop-criticizing-ebooks-because-youre-nostalgic-about-dead-tree-books/comment-page-1/#comment-16622 Mike Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:40:41 +0000 http://ryantrauman.com/blog/?p=1774#comment-16622 One can't be nostalgic for something that isn't gone. I think the emotion you're indicting is actually a reactionary fear that if something new comes along, it means the death of the old; a fear that these younger generations have something upon which they might place a value similar to the value that the older generation placed on books, and therefore a fear that one's values are somehow being superseded. Which, as we've talked about before, is the silly fear that <em>ceci tuera cela</em>, but one that's got its opposite number in the equally foolish starry-eyed techno-utopianism perpetrated by <em>Wired</em> and its ilk.
