Hipster PDA - New Feature
Throw out your old hipster! No, wait that’s with software. Analog devices don’t usually require that. Anyway, an advanced hipster PDA user has come up with a novel web app - a cover personalizer! He has set up a web page at
“http://www.eleven21.com/hipster/” where anyone can upload a picture and other information and then have the web app print a personalized cover page for the Hipster.
The Hipster website isn’t up yet, but Doug Johnston at A Million Monkeys Typing “http://www.douglasjohnston.net/weblog/” has a great article about the “why” of creating the site. If the cover web app is any indication, the creativity of this effort will be fascinating to watch.
Maybe that’s one of the attractions of open source - the ability to see the creativity in action, since the intellectual property doesn’t need to be “protected.”
Thanks for the props on the hipster cover generator! It’s great to see that people find it useful (and creative
). I love my HipsterPDA and while it hasn’t completely replaced my PocketPC, it has come close. I especially like that I can take it to meetings and have every “screen” I could possibly want available - and I can look at them simultaneously.
I recently (yesterday) created a little web application that allows students to customize note taking sheets according to the Cornell Note Taking method. Feel free to take a look around - http://eleven21.com/notetaker - Thanks again for the mention!
