This month's issue of Maritime Reporter & Engineering News has a story about the Nomad rugged handheld computer. The story describes how FRS, a ferry operator based in Germany, implemented a solution to electronically scan passenger tickets.
Recognizing the need for more timely information and more effectively selling available seats, they began looking into a solution. After seeing a video of the Nomad handheld being submerged in water and still working, they decided it was a good candidate for the rainy conditions that passengers often board in. After studying their requirements, they opted to develop the software solution in house.

When feeding dairy cattle, getting the correct nutritional formula delivered consistently is critical for the herd's health and milk production. In a University environment, the challenges increase where many students are sharing responsibilities for feeding and monitoring the herd. DHI-Provo of Provo, Utah developed the EZfeedTM solution to enable dairies of all sizes to optimize feed management, and the solution utilizes the Trimble Nomad rugged computer.
The Oregon State University Dairy uses the EZfeed solution for a variety of reasons, including optimizing the feeding process by guiding the student workers responsible for mixing of the feed and tracking data about the feed produced. Furthermore, the EZfeed system data provides students with practical exposure to the latest in livestock and dairy management technologies, and enables real-world opportunities to analyze the data and make informed decisions to ensure the University's dairy herd is optimized for peak health at the lowest cost.

I decided to head out on a backpacking expedition up the Middle Fork of the Willamette River with the goal of hiking up to the headwaters (start) of the mighty Willamette River.
Although the starting elevation was only around 2000 feet and we were going in the beginning of July, the mosquitos were still really bad!
