The Globe and Mail on the Hipster PDA

Merlin Mann | Apr 16 2005

The Globe and Mail: The hipster PDA

Tralee Pearce did a nice piece on the Hipster PDA and adopting analog tech in today’s Globe and Mail.

”So that means unless your Palm is integrated into your phone or your MP3 player you’re gonna need a Chewbacca bandolier to keep all your stuff on,” he says, betraying his nerdiness with a Star Wars reference. “Do you really need a sack with three pieces of equipment in it every time you go to a bar? There’s something a little tragic about it.”

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
