We all know him. We all love him. Dr. Elliot Soloway is the person who has done the most to advocate for handhelds in classrooms. You can see him in this video. My trip to Philadelphia was sponsored by Dr. Soloway's company, GoKnow. GoKnow has great software for using Palm and Pocket PC handhelds in classrooms like Sketchy, FlingIt, iKWL, and Cells.
As I was spending time at GoKnow's booth at the NECC conference, I couldn't resist taking a photo of this handheld hero. You can see Dr. Soloway pictured below. Let's have some fun and brainstorm captions for the photo. Please leave a witty caption in a comment!

OK, I'll go first...
"Handheld computer = Good idea. Handheld desk = Bad idea."
A thought popped into my brain ... where do I Go where I Know I can Fling this idea into my handheld? Must Sketch this thought now before the little man with the sign leaves! Ah! This rug is Free to Write right here! Done.
"I've fallen [for handheld computers] and I can't get up..."
"Oh! My Laptop is so heavy! Must rest."
I always knew he was down to Earth from the moment I met him.
Ok-first we must hang a GoKnow orange sign above him...
If I strike this sexy GoKnow pose, then everyone at NECC will come.
If I get a little closer to the screen and become one with the computer...the programs work better.
I have no sense of urgency, so I shall rest and compute!
Ok....enough from me (-:
This thing doesn't fit on my lap nor in my palm, but I look good. Uh-Oh, elbow's going to sleep.
"If I had my handheld I wouldn't have to lie on the floor."
The only way this could be better is if I were on a beach holding a cold beverage.
Use of laptops require frequent rest periods in a prone position.
Use a handheld and stand up longer!
Uh Oh...I think I crushed my handheld.

Elliot pauses to put the finishing touch on his Sketchy before the party......
I know there's a map in here somewhere....
I've got to finish that voice data entry program before lunch time.
Elliot emails Pat's Steaks for take out......
