E-Ink tablets have always been intriguing to me because I’m a longtime lover of pen and paper. I’ve had probably hundreds of notebooks over the years, serving as repositories for my story ideas, to-do lists, meeting notes and everything in between.

E-Ink tablets seem to provide the best of both worlds: the tactile satisfaction of regular notebooks with many of the conveniences found in digital tools, plus easy-on-the-eyes E-Ink…

Every few years, a core childhood memory resurfaces and I find myself tracking down some weird PlayStation game that my brother and I were obsessed with but never actually finished playing. I search online for a red and black PS1 demo disc featuring a pink-haired wild child taking on pigs and ass-like trees. I discover from the search results that the game I’m looking for is the 1997 platform game Tomba!, and am overcome with nostalgia. Then I forget about it altogether, and the cycle repeats itself.So you can imagine my surprise when a trailer suddenly appeared earlier this summer…
