Ten-minute documentary “RE:Invention” captures some of the spirit I hope to convey here at Oddly Together. I lost my job on April 30, 2009. While there is demand for the kind of analysis I write about Apple, Microsoft and other technology companies, there isn’t employment I can find.

While there is demand for the kind of analysis I write about Apple, Microsoft and other technology companies, there isn’t employment I can find. So I am reinventing myself—as the people profiled in “RE:Invention” are trying to do.
“It’s not what happens to us that’s important. It’s how we deal with it. It’s how we react to it. It’s the story we tell ourselves about what this is going to mean to us in the future. Those are the things that we have some control over,” Matt Weinstein says during “RE:Invention.”
The lives we lead are the stories we tell, and visa versa. Every life is a story. Better stated: Every life is epic.
As I will explain in a future post, the econolypse isn’t a disaster but opportunity. My compliments to filmmaker Cathy Goertz. [I spotted the documentary at Laughing Squid.]
Do you have a story about the econolypse’s impact on you that you’d like told?

This is a kind of fun Twitter tool--in a voyeuristic, who's following me and somebody else kind of way: http://overlapr.com/
@mattguthmiller I don't share your enthusiasm, Matt. Google and RIM shouldn't be discounted. Apple still needs China and more US carriers.
@Gartenberg I haven't seen the report. But based on various news reports, it's all Nokia handsets, not just S60. Do you believe it?
I'm calling Generator Research wrong, on prediction iPhone overtakes Nokia handsets in 2012; even with App Store's pull.
Every picture tells a story. Apple presented this one during the October 2008 launch of unibody MacBook Pros. So many Macs among so many students seems out sorts. Where are the Windows laptops? The students and Mac laptops go so oddly together. The day after I returned from the MacBook event, I tracked down the photo’s source: A group of students... - http://www.oddlytogether.com/post...

@harrymccracken I pay more than that for the Sunday paper, in part for access to the online archives. $5 full access would be a deal.
@milehighfool Publishers that aggregate won't survive. It's wrong Q. SEO will eventually fail for news/info as biz model. #editorchat
Late this morning, BetaNews founder Nate Mook and I IMed about Google's Chrome OS announcement. Our differing positions somehow fit oddly together. Joe Wilcox: Microsoft is seriously up shits creek. Nate Mook: Eventually. Joe: The Q is when does Google become like Microsoft. Trade one for another. Nate: I don't know anyone at this point that is... - http://www.oddlytogether.com/post...

Today, I received the Olympus PEN E-P1 micro four-thirds digicam. The E-P1 continues a long tradition started with the first Pen camera released in 1959, the year of my birth. I’ve posted an unboxing set at Flickr. The PEN E-P1 is by design a set of capabilities packaged oddly together: The features are modern but the design retro Lenses are... - http://www.oddlytogether.com/post...

RT @adamparnes Microsoft “Laptop Hunters” are having no effect on 13-inch MacBook Pro sales http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/2009070... [Joe says: Believe it!]
@charlesarthur @couchpundit @thatrobguy Now I've got an unexpected chance to study Twitter spamming. It will be a great blog post.
RT @JohnPaczkowski Wait. “Gmail Beta” isn’t a Registered Trademark? http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/2009070...
