What type of alphabet/language would develop from an iPhone or iPod Touch interface
I was thinking this morning about how silly it is to have a virtual keyboard with an iPhone or iPod Touch interface. The natural gestures you would use on a touch screen aren’t very well suited to the 26 letters of the alphabet (Hi, Blackberry fanboys). Morse code makes more sense with its dots and dashes, but another alphabet with more symbols could develop that makes use of basic gestures such as vertical, horizontal, pointing and circular strokes. I doubt this will ever happen since Western civilization is too hooked on the 26 letters, but it would be interesting to see the type of alphabet that would develop if touch screen interface technology suddenly appeared in a civilization that had only used verbal communication.

Whoa, that little tremor made me get up. Cleared the chairs away from the conference room table in case I need cover later on.

Reading Sandkings on Kindle for PC
I started reading Sandkings on Kindle for PC for the kids last night. Both kids were really wrapped in the story, and I’ll try to finish the other half tonight. It is nice to be able to purchase a book and easily access and read it on my iPod Touch and PC. Just a warning that Sandkings involves death by fire, laser, sword, and mandibles and cruelty to a puppy.
