T Minus Ten Workdays and Counting... And it'll be my last day at ISTE. There are a lot of things I have to wrap up before I go -- transferring my knowledge and my projects to other staff, cleaning out my cubicle, returning my computer. It's the latter I've been...

1. When I was a kid, my dad bought us a Texas Instruments home computer (the TI-99/4A). I think he must've sold the idea to my mom that he was buying a computer not a video game console -- an investment in his children's future! -- which is why I...
