I haven't done fun silly computer things for their own sake in a really long time, and it's nice to be getting back to that.

Trying a thing to see if it's possible. Doing a thing to see what works.

I've especially been enjoying my soujorn in to palm pilot land!

There are a lot of roads not taken in computing, and the palm ecosystem really represents the signpost for the last one of those.

I very much like the idea of computers as tools to accomplish tasks. Sometimes the task is Play.

Sometimes the goal is to learn what's possible.

@ajroach42 It is fascinating and also maddening that a number of the really nice aspects of Palm Pilots just do not exist anymore in any device.

Hmmm. FOSS project idea.

(No, really. Build a PalmOS-like environment that runs on top of a Linux kernel, then install it on any rooted Android device. Somebody other than me should really do this.)
