Mobius Boston 2006 Trip Report
Updated with Day 2
This year, Microsoft changed things up and decided to hold two Mobius events back to back. The first one was held in Thailand, and the second one here in the US. Typically, the events here in the US have always been held in Seattle, WA., near Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters. But this year they opted for Boston, MA. Lucky for me, I was invited to the Boston event. This meant a short 2hr flight, instead of 4-5 hours to Seattle.

Gadgeteer Garage Sale! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve cleared out the gear cabinets here at Gadgeteer HQ. So, it’s time for a purging! I figure this time I’ll kick it old school and just post everything here on the site instead of going through eBay. If you see something you definitely want, email

I’m back from Mobius Boston. Yeah, I know I said I’d write about the event while I was there, but I lied. I’ll have report early next week though! And that aint no lie. ;o) I arrived home to find a BIG box in my living room. The 24″ iMac arrived. Yay! So I stayed

MyKeyO Keyboard and Organizer
It never seems as if I have enough storage space for all of the
“stuff” that magically gravitates to the limited surface space of
my desk. I’m talking about the type things that I may not need
right now, but that I can’t misplace; things like extra earpieces
or jack adapters for a set of headphones, a stick of lip balm,
loose memory cards, or a pair of earrings I just removed and don’t
want to roll off the side of my desk and under the couch – or
worse, be eaten by my dog.. Since I have a desktop box that also
serves as the base for my monitor, it only seems natural that it
should also function as a catch-all for crap (errrr, things) that
need to be perched somewhere safe until needed. On any given day
there will be a small pile sitting there – the sight of which never
ceases to aggravate me because I really don’t like clutter.

NVBackup – Palm OS Backup Software
Good backups of my Palm have saved my fanny several times. One time, I ended up using an obscure, almost forgotten and out of date backup file because every other backup I had was dead. I hope I never relive that day- and with some solid backup software, I shouldn’t have to.

Saturday, after another fabulous breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, we settled in for what would prove to be an exciting day of brainstorming. Derek Brown one of the original founders of Mobius, gave us a quick overview of the coup that had just occurred in Bangkok before showing us a video about deploying computers and

TerraLUX WorkStar60 LED Work Light
Here’s a scenario…You are outside working on something important,
and the traditional hanging shop light which is hooked to your
workspace gets dislodged. It falls, and the hot light bulb inside
the metal protective cage shatters into a million pieces – leaving
you and your project in total darkness. Or perhaps that light
doesn’t get dislodged, but instead the bulb burns out at an
inconvenient time. Or okay, here’s another: what if you need the
light while working on a project in the middle of nowhere, but
there is no outlet anywhere nearby – perhaps not for miles. If you
can picture yourself in any of those situations, then you’ll
appreciate the product I’ll be talking about today, the TerraLUX
WorkStar60 LED Work Light.

Atwood Keychain Tools
I’ve always been fascinated by small tools. I guess it comes from being a little kid and watching my Dad work on things in the garage. I even had my own little toolbox that I kept under my bed. It was actually an old metal fishing tackle box full of parts from little machines that I’d dismantled. That love of small tools and objects didn’t leave me as I grew up. That’s why I had to take a closer look at the tools made by Peter Atwood when I saw many people on the EDCforums talking about his offerings.

iCarta Stereo Dock for iPod with Bath Tissue Holder
The first time I ever saw a picture of the iCarta (from Atech Flash Technology), I thought it had to be a joke. Who would make an iPod speaker system that doubled as a toilet paper holder? The date on my calendar did not say April Fools day though, so this was actually a real honest to goodness new iPod accessory. Now in addition to having an iPod in your pocket, in your office and in your living room, you can also have one in the bathroom. The iCarta box says that it will enhance your experience. Ok, I won’t go there…

Well, I arrived in Phuket Thursday morning without any trouble; other than the handful of soldiers which I saw at the airport exit, there was no indication that anything out of the ordinary was happening in Thailand. After an hour’s ride from the airport in a chauffeured Toyota Highlander, I arrived at the Mövenpick Resort
