In fact I'm sitting here writing this article while watching TV.  

Hardware

The first experience in using the Chromebook is that on first glance it has a lot of similarity in looks to the Mac Book Air. Instead of polished aluminum you get gray plastic; however the keyboard screen and trackpad are all of acceptable. The weight is 2.6lbs (vs 2.38 for the 11in Macbook Air). On the back is the power plug, two USB slots, and a DVI link connector. The screen resolution is 1366 x 768. 

When fully charged, the battery will last about 9 hours in regular usage of web and wifi. Bluetooth is available if you want to hook up a bluetooth mouse. I did not test out the bluetooth extensively but it is likely that bluetooth will cut down on the battery time.

The keyboard has a nice feel and the trackpad sensitivity can be adjusted to accommodate your preference. 

One test I have not done is test hooking a Chromebook up to an external display. I did not have a DVI connector that worked with a projector. These can be ordered with the Chromebook or from Amazon.

Software 

The Chromebook gets it name because it runs the Google Chrome OS. When you first set this up you are asked to sign into your google account. Once you sign in the Chrome browser is launched. For those that use the Chrome browser, it feels quite natural and you use that to change any settings.

In the lower right of the display you have icons for the common Google applications - web browsing, email, search, youtube, and some additional google applications.

At the heart of Chrome OS is Google Apps. If you are not comfortable using Google Apps for all your work then this is not the device for you since you don't have Microsoft Office. 

For files, you can you save them to your Google drive or a USB.

My Experience

I use Chrome as my browser and live in Google Apps for most of my day. While I occasionally need to use Microsoft Office I can get through most of my day without it. What I do want, is a device that has good battery life, a good keyboard, and touchpad, and is stable. What I found in about 80 hours of use is that the Chromebook did all things well and was a very capable laptop for my usage.


Buying Advice


If you actively use Google Apps for your work and email then you will find the Chromebook an inexpensive and effective laptop. If you find that much of your work is spent using Microsoft Office then you will likely find the Chromebook is not a sufficient replacement for a laptop. 

I didn't test out the VGA display but think that the Chromebook would be an excellent device for faculty or staff that have a desktop computer and want something that is lite in weight and portable for email or web browsing that can function like a laptop. Even more so if you are comfortable using Google Apps and Gmail.

My Experience with the iPad Mini The iPad mini was released in late October. I got my hands on one just before Thanksgiving and have been using one for the last 6 weeks. 

As background, I've owned the iPad 1 and upgraded that to the iPad Retina when that came out. I love the iPad as a lightweight device to keep me connected and use it to read (news and books), surf the web, do email, watch video, and track tasks and projects.

For me, I've found the iPad mini to excel at all these tasks. In particular, as a device for reading books I've been thrilled with it  due to the low weight. It fits comfortably in your hand and you you can read for extended periods with little discomfort. With the regular iPad, the weight is just enough to be uncomfortable to hold in your hands for extended periods.

Where I was worried was how it would work for email or web. In both of those usages I found no problem with the size of the text and being able to effective read my email or surf the web. Occasionally, I would pinch the screen the screen to make the text bigger but I often do that with my regular iPad. 

One area that other reviewers have commented on is viewing video. I had used this with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. I don't notice the screen resolution difference between the retina display on the full iPad Retina and the iPad mini. I do find the smaller size somewhat less appealing for watching video but not so much that I would not buy a mini.

The one area where it might be noticeable is with drawing programs, such as the App Paper, that use the screen for drawing. I don't do this regularly so I have not seen that but if I was using the iPad heavily for that function I would test it out before buying.

My buying advice, if you plan to do a lot of book reading (Amazon Kindle or iBooks)  I would definitely get the mini. If you are using the iPad as a universal device for reading, email, web surfing and more it is fine and you save about $180 dollars over the regular iPad. My only hesitation would be for those that do want to do drawing or video, in that case I would test it at the store on both versions and see what you prefer.

My last crack at this was in 2011. Here were my resolutions.

1. Be more Social.
In this case I mean be more active with social media tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and twitter. I have been on these for years but not been very active. In 2011, my resolution is to actually use these to stay more connected with my friends and colleagues.

The result, I have been more active on linkedIn but decided that facebook is not for me. For this year, I'm going to refocus on tweeting and blogging more.

2. Look to the clouds.
At present I am tied to my laptop and depend on it for most of my work. I carry it home every night to do email. I want to rely on my iPad and iPhone much more extensively and want to be able to do my work from any device at any location.

I use Google Docs or Evernote for most applications and now use dropbox or Box for most of my files. All of these are sync'ed with my iPad and iPhone.

3. Lose five pounds.
Every day I lug a backpack that has my laptop, power cord, and other assorted stuff that runs about 12 pounds ( without papers). I want to reduce that by at least five pounds.

I converted to a Mac Book Air in 2011 and that saved me 4lbs. I find that the I use the Mac Book Air for most things.

Resolutions for 2013.

Continuing the resolution to Be More Social, I'll add these three.

1. Better leverage technology to stay organized and track thinks in my life.
I feel I do OK for task management but want to better integrate my tasks with web-based project management tools more. I also want to track my exercise program better.  I'm looking at different things now and will report back later.

2. Develop an electronic booklet.
I'm interested in developing an electronic book using InDesign or iAuthor. I've been working a lot with security and identity management and feel these technical topics would benefit from rich media.

3. Learn and use a new programming language.
I've been away from programming so long I've become ossified. My goal is to learn Python and write a few programs in this. I'm also interested in doing some simple iPhone programming.

Image By: Stuart Seeger

Looks like texting isn’t the biggest problem on the roads anymore.

According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that was released this week, 1 in 24 adults admitted to falling asleep while driving recently.

Those behind the study believe that number is probably higher, taking into account that some people may not realize when they nod off for a few seconds.

Either way, researchers aren’t surprised by the results.

According to Dr. Gregory Belenky, director of Washington State University’s Sleep and Performance Research Center, many individuals are not getting enough rest. The study showed that falling asleep behind the wheel is more common in those who average less than six hours of sleep at night.

Males, especially those aged 25 to 34, also have increased chances for dozing off.

But the weirdest risk factor? Being from Texas.

The study’s lead author says this strange finding may be a result of the survey sample in Texas including more young adults with a lack of sleep or overweight individuals who suffer from sleep apnea.

Regardless of where you’re driving, researchers encourage everyone to look out for drowsy drivers. Dozing off for just one second at 60 mph means 88 feet are unaccounted for—that’s the length of two school buses.
