I think I'm probably the only person in the world who loved Palm's stylus writing input method, "Graffiti". It had a learning curve, but was way easier than dealing with a micro QWERTY, and you could do it without looking. If they brought Graffiti back, I'd have to try it out, otherwise it looks like little more than a novelty.

I thought Ghost Rider was especially interesting for the things it did not say. The basis is that acclaimed Canadian drummer for Rush, Neil Peart had recently lost his only child to a car crash and then his wife to cancer, and went on a very long escapist motorcycle tour of North America and journaled about it. Unexpectedly, he does not wallow in self-pity or introspect much at all (he admits to terrible depression without elaborating or indulging), doesn't share much of anything personal about his lost loved ones (Peart has always been carefully private about his personal life), doesn't say much about the unique situation he had financially that allowed him to travel this way for months (though he does mention some stress about limits and situational and internally sourced pressure to return to work eventually), nor much about his bandmates or the music industry. What it ends up being is not a self-help book for those coping with loss, nor a rock star autobiography, but an interesting travel book with a bonus of subtle gems for Rush fans and possibly Objectivists. My takeaway was that Peart seems to be a man of exceptional integrity to remain true to himself and his visions after all he has been through.
