Suspension Of Operations

Filed under: Uncategorized — mikecane @ 2:17 pm

Recently I went through a Flu From Hell with a follow-up Bronchitis From Hell …

recuperation

… dealing with that and recuperating kept me offline a lot.

I found I didn’t miss it one bit.

This horrible winter (well, every winter is horrible to me) will soon be ending and that will mean blue skies, sunshine, and warmth:

sunshine

And I want to enjoy that instead of doing this:

blogcontrol

So that means …

resignation

It’s not really that bad. I’m not killing this blog, exactly. Think of it as suspended animation:

I’m still very enthusiastic about the Palm Pre. I think — economy willing — it will be a winning hand for Palm …

aces

… and I still intend to get one.

Perhaps once I have it actually in hand, I’ll again find the motivation to reactivate this blog.

Until then, I suggest all of you simply Follow the PrePoint Twitter for future word about this blog’s awakening.

And, for up-to-date developments, visit the sites in the Blogroll at right.

What Pre Delay? This Is MARCH!

Palm Pre Officially Delayed

What?

This is March. This is still the first quarter of 2009.

In January, Palm told everyone the Pre would be released in the first half of 2009.

Let’s get this straight, OK?

First Quarter of 2009: January, February, March

First Half of 2009: April, May, June

Since we haven’t hit July yet, how can there be a delay?

The Twitter Lifeline

I was a huge Twitter skeptic.

But then I came to believe. As have others.

Twitter can break news stories. It can also monitor a crisis. Or spread a false rumor.

And Twitter can also be used to help save lives:

British snowboarder Rob Williams dies despite Twitter rescue campaign

Twitter and iPhone help find lost skier

Twitter has to be in the Palm Pre.
