"The Clever Monkey" is now "Multitouch"

As I noted in my blog entry "Multi-touch or Bust" I have changed the focus of my career from Enterprise Java and RIA to Multi-touch. This was not a decision taken lightly but it’s the right one for me at this time.

With the change in my career this blog has also changed. Most, if not all, of the articles posted here have been about multi-touch since I first posted about Microsoft Surface back on September 18th, 2008. As I said a couple times in this blog I'm absolutely obsessed with multi-touch and the creative opportunities it affords me as a software developer and designer.

It's my sincere hope that this blog will be useful to people other than myself. There is an entire community of people interested and working in multi-touch and its growing rapidly. Every opportunity we have to share information about devices, development, and design of multi-touch systems promotes the multi-touch industry and helps all of us.

There are some fantastic resources out there for multi-touch but they are scattered about and not always easy to find if you are new to the industry. I'll provide links to them as I go and perhaps I'll create a wiki or at least a traditional reference page for those interested.

So welcome to “Multitouch” by yours truly, Richard Monson-Haefel. I'm not going to change the URL of the blog as that is a sure way of loosing readers (this I know from experience) but hopefully the new title will make it clear where my interests lie and the focus of this blog. Viva la Multitouch!
