My amazon review for the Verizon home phone box

Paper white not a paper weight

Yesterday at my long neglected campsite, a Kindle Paperwhite lay where it was left near three weeks ago.  During that time, it has rained and cooled many many days and nights.  Sitting on a stump, where it was last used,  it sat there in its folio case.

The screen was snow white. On it was a diagram of a usb power charger and perhaps an X.  It was damp, so it was dried.  The form fitting case was removed to find more moisture.

When it was brought back home and plugged in, the amber charging light did not come on.  Oh oh, was this now a hipster paperweight?

The screen changed from the diagram to something darker.  There was hope.  In an hour or so the amber charging indicator started to glow. Twelve hours later, that same inidcator was green,  indicating a full charge. 

Unplugged, wiped off, it synced up via whispersync and was just as good as when it was left behind.

This is one sturdy device.  It receives my whoie hearted endorsement as an out door technology tool, right up there with propane and propane accessories.  Or what not.

Branding

In the 1970s a corporate form called conglomerates was popular.  Beatrice, ITT were a few well known examples.  Today Berkshire Hathaway is a good example.  Today I realized Ke7in is all over the place, both in real life and on the web.  Today a new tag is being born. #k7nwj for a Ke7in Web Joint.  This is both a nod to Spike Lee's preferred directorial credit, and my "spin off" Twitter account.  KE7IN is my twitter and Facebook, with the shorter @K7n serving as an automatic repository for. Cross posting apps.  There are blogs on blogger, tumblr. Listology, twitter, status.net, friend feed, Google+, LinkedIn, Myspace, Facebook plus many of those sites have multiple iterations of my writings. 

Today a favicon was created based on the attached image.  This image is from a block print made in a high school art class, as an attempt to inspire a student to create one for himself.  This past year, I was a substitute paraprofessional.  An ill defined helper of students that need a bit more encouragement and support to navigation the school system. 

The design was created last summer while camping.  Trying to make something, easy to carve, runic script was chosen.  For that and of course my own Nordic roots. My Paternal Grandfather had a glyph/monogram and it always intrigued me.  His initials HAF lent themselves for alignment.  KBF has the curves of a B to contend with.  That is how the straight line based carving system of runes was decided upon.  As a similar KBF to HAF was formed, a similar art project was remembered.  That of mirroring our own name. Kevin when rotated and mirrored became a fierce tribal mask.  It was treasured by a five year old me.

As mentioned previously the favicon is based on the black and white image, which in turn is based on an actual block print of the design, on orange and green 

The favicon will be attached to my blog array. The image will become a user icon too.

TOM Peters had a program called Brand. You

WiFi, LAN, DLNA, 4G, LTE, 3G,, DSL Broadband

The process of starting a new blog almost got all of me.  THIS post started out as a primer for a much larger post.  Soon realizing it had stand alone value, I was made public ally accessible in a drop box public directory.

WiFi, Broadband, MoDem, LAN, WAN, DLNA, 4G, LTE, 3G,, DSL

WiFi: Wireless Fidelity, a form of radio that broadcasts digital information from machine to a router to another machine or WAN. (a nod to earlier audio days with HiFi being the term for High Fidelity )

Broadband: a term for faster connection, today  generally used to describe High Speed Internet,  compared to dial up MoDem technology.

MoDem: Modulator Demodulator, which modulates what you type in, and demodulates what it receives.

LAN: Local area network (Work groups, office printer network, & etc.) compare to

WAN: Wide area network. This is the INTERNET

DLNA: Digital Living Network Alliance, a series of interoperable protocols so our various WiFi enabled devices can communicate in the home . compare to

UPnP: Universal Plug and Play, the term for devices that operate with DLNA Protocols (including Playstation, XBox, Wii, BD players [Blu-Ray Discs], iPads, Surface Pros and etc)

4G: Fourth generation (of phone carrier internet service) not to be confused with Apples iPhone 4S, which was the fourth gen iPhone, but still using 3G when other manufacturers were selling LTE devices.

LTE: Long Term Evolution (of phone carrier service) a name for a present form of 4G that was used for same before it was "officially " 4G now tacked on
but it is really Tomaaaaaaaaaaato Tomahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhto.

3G: Third generation (of phone carrier internet service)

DSL: Digital Subscriber Line, from your POTS, RBOC or land line carrier, it is distinguished from an analog subscriber line, by relegated voice to part of the wire, and data to another part of the wire, using digital encoding. This allows your single land line to carry both voice calls and the WAN traffic you want from the wider internet.
||||| as long as I am here, most cable systems, have wired your neighborhoods into LANs.  were usually office networks which allowed file and printer sharing between computers dating back at least to Microsoft Windows 3.11 for Work Groups.  Apple's AppleTalk. Workgroup=LAN.  Broadband from cable is usually shared with your neighborhood, which has a single but possibly an array of "Pipes" to the WAN
||||[POTS: Plain Old Telephone Service, RBOC: Regional Bell Operating companies {the Baby Bells formerly 10 now 3]

Many of these terms are used interchangeably, correctly or incorrectly.  The distinction of which can be major.
