Ok — Opera Mini still needs some work on the content creation side. I tried to make a Blog post earlier and ended up with 2 blank entries, which I only found out about because a friend alerted me. To be fair, I should have double-check that it posted something. Live and learn… Reinforces my [...]

Well, tomorrow I’m off to Edinburgh for the WWW conference where I’ll be co-chairing a workshop (where they seem to have posted a bio from me that dates from 2001, but never mind) and participating in the W3C Advisory Committee meting and in the first (and last?) face to face meeting of the Web Content [...]
I actually do my own version of PC Recycling — it’s called the laptop graveyard under my desk. I now have three laptops there from previous generations of technology: First there’s a Powerbook Duo 210. This was my first laptop — absolutely cutting edge for its time — it featured a gray-scale passive matrix screen [...]
The London Science Museum is featuring an exhibit called “Dead Ringers?” which highlights the problem that discarded phones pose to the environment. By their count, 1712 mobiles a day are upgraded, and if not properly recycled they can leak poisonous materials.

Using Comeks, in 5 minutes I was able to author this on a Nokia N70, including image manipulation, based on a picture that was already there in memory. That’s no mean feat for an application that runs on a phone and relies on a key-pad and 4-way rocker switch as its only means of user [...]
This is absolutely the coolest thing I’ve seen today at Mobile Monday Global Summut. It’s a mobile comics creator that lets you take a picture with your phone and then turn it into a comic strip by coloring, pasting in speech bubbles and comic icons. Then you can MMS or email the comic to someone [...]
Today, mobile buzz central is in Helsinki, Finland, where Mobile Monday Global Summit is including full swing. There is a real energy in the air here. People from around the world have come together to celebrate mobility and to celebrate mobile monday. This post was composed very easily on a Nokia 770, by the way. [...]
So I got a reconditioned iMac G5 from the Apple store. It may be last year’s technology, but it’s still rocks. Especially when compared to our previous home computer – a “grape” iMac DV from 2000. Actually the iMac DV had slightly more personality — being grape and all — but the new iMac G5 [...]
Just read a good News.com Article heralding the growth of mobile browsing. I predicted the Mobile Web would go mainstream this year (although this didn’t take a Nostradamus to figure out) and it looks like it’s starting to happen — or at least the tech press is starting to talk about mobile browsing, as opposed [...]
