Join us for the latest installment of the E-Team Episode 3: Blazing Tablets, recorded on Sunday April 27, 2025 at 1:00pm (U.S. Central Time). In this episode, we take a deep dive into our favorite devices and news from 2025 so far, while also making some predictions for the rest of the year. There was a lot to cover so we carried on the conversation for quite a while. Also, when you get the four of us together, there was bound to be side conversations, derailments, rants, and even some friendly disagreements. Just a few of the potential topics we will cover include:

• A quiet Q1, no real new E-Ink screen tech, or is there? Enter Spectra 6, new Boox devices, and active styli!

• Stickers & Wacom on Supernote (Get ready for a bumpy ride)
• Reaction to Jeff's e-ink notetaking awards
• Is there a future for e-ink on computers and phones?
• If we were to start our own e-ink company, what would we focus on that the market isn't currently addressing?

Watch the recording of the E-Team's first livestream event on October 6, 2024 at 12:00PM Central Time (1:00PM Eastern, 10:00AM Pacific)! In this episode, we discussed the following:

• Who we are and a little about our channels
• Our inspiration for creating videos
• The most rewarding part of creating videos (and the challenges)
• Our experiences with e-ink notetaking and devices
• Some different display technologies
• Advice to those entering the e-ink space
• Most exciting and/or overrated technologies

And of course, we left time for questions. As many of you know, this is the “plan” and plans sometimes go awry. We managed to stay pretty much on task with some witty banter and tangents. Here are a few videos that were directly mentioned during the stream:

• Supernote
• ViWoods

Who are the E-Team members? @jeffreymoss  (Jeffrey Moss) @rantsabouttechnology  (Roderick Wortham) @VladimirKostek  (Vladimir Kostek) @Change-1820  (Ed Finn)How did this all get started?Well, that is easy, we share a passion for technology and have enjoyed watching the content on each other's channels. We began commenting, having conversations, and what evolved was a natural affinity. Then someone said (Jeffrey), "why don't we do a livestream?" Now, we are off to the races.What are you all going to talk about?The question is really: What aren't we going to talk about? We are technology enthusiasts who review different devices from e-ink to products and services that help to enhance our personal and professional lives. We come from a diverse set of backgrounds including the military, retail, healthcare, academic, financial services, and non-profit environments. We also have a varying array of hobbies including writing, reading, art, science fiction, and of course....TECHNOLOGY!Are more of these planned?Yes, we are planning to do at least four (4) sessions, one hosted on each channel. So, be on the lookout for upcoming announcements and let us know what you would like us to focus on in the comments. Our goal is to make this as fun and exciting as possible. We cannot do that without you. Supporting my Work

This episode was recorded on Sunday, June 6, 2024 discussing how I have found Obsidian to be a crucial part of my workflow.

Here are some videos and playlists on Obsidian and Supernote:
