Newton is in the news.

Just in case you didn’t catch this elsewhere, Wired News published a piece last week entitled Fans Keep Newton in Motion, coinciding with the first (and hopefully annual) World Wide Newton Conference being held in Paris. Be sure to gawk at the screen shot of Paul Guyot’s nifty Newton emulator project being unveiled at the … More

Minor updates to the Proxim Wireless Newton Primer

Due to a severe case of galloping linkrot, most of the pointers to the Proxim web site from the popular Proxim Wireless Newton Primer article were dead as doornails. To keep things reasonably useful, I updated all of the links to point to the handy dandy Internet Archive Wayback Machine instead. I also managed to … More

New additions to the Newtons Around The World gallery.

Summer is nearly here, and what better time to update the Newtons Around The World gallery than when the sun is warm and the grass is green? (Actually, it’s raining here in Calgary today, effectively putting a damper on my yard work. So, here I sit, working on my web sites instead of mucking about … More

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. These are the first additions to the Newtons Around The World gallery in over three months, and part of that is my fault. I’ve been sitting on a few of these submissions for a while, simply waiting to get a significant number of new images to post in … More

No news is good news.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Newted Community is humming along just fine, thank you very much. The news page has been pretty darn quiet over the past couple of months, and I’ll be the first to admit that it’s a little bit unsettling. In reality, I’ve simply been busy on … More

Newtons Around The World updated. Again.

Yes, it’s the first update of the new year for the ever popular Newtons Around The World gallery. It’s not a huge update, but what it lacks in density, it more than makes up in style and finesse.

Newted Community membership fee increases.

It’s one of those things that you really don’t want to have to do, but sometimes it’s inevitable. Due to the rising costs of providing the services of this site, I have decided that I must start charging for basic Newted Community Associate-level membership and also raise the price of the Founders level membership. This … More

I am pleased to point that out a new set of pictures documenting the infamous Siemens 2000 Notephone has been posted to the Newted Community Gallery. Thanks to Robert Benschop for forwarded the images and associated information that he recieved from the one and only Hannes Wolf (CyBear). On a related note, I’d like to … More
