A few months ago we stumbled over a nice song called “Devonian Blues.” It was made by Ray Troll from Trollart, and it’s all about the extremely important geologic period of the Devonian Period (remember: we’ve even named our whole company after it.) So, I couldn’t resist to post it here.

I had the cool chance to meet Science Fiction and Fantasy novel writer Tobias Buckell, who is also a heavy-duty user of DEVONthink. He’s originally born in the Caribbean but now living in the USA.

In 2005, Tobias’ new novel “Crystal Rain” and his story collection “Tides From The New Worlds” are due to come out. (more)
