In today’s news…

Warner Crocker unveils what was in those boxes he received the other day. Turns out to be the perfect UMPC inking device. UPDATE: Report has come in he was dreaming again. This time in a world where people have fingers shaped like styli who’s staple diet consists of heads of little blue creatures.

Just received an email notifying me something is shipping!  I ordered it 12/12/2007 but was backordered. 

As you can tell, I’m all on the live webcam streaming tip lately. Let’s face it, uploading sucks if you want to record a short clip.
So I found Riffly which is a sweet plugin for Wordpress. What it does is add the ability for visitors to leave live audio or video webcam comments. None of this record and upload stuff. It’s direct, fast, and easy. How sweet is that?
So, please, help me out and leave an audio/video comment to see if this is working.

Wow.  I am very sad about Marc Orchant’s passing.  My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I punched in the dimensions of a few devices into SizeEasy.

Comparing the Fujitsu T2010, Sony TZ, Fujitsu P1610, Kohjinsha SH series/Vye mini-v s37, and the Fujitsu U810.

Noticing it’s a big jump in width and height from the P1610 to Sony TZ.  The Sony TZ is still very light at 2.5lbs, an inch thick, and excellent battery life.

The U810 looks significantly smaller in width but it is slightly thick and the screen is 5.6″.

The Samsung Q1, Kohjinsha SH, and P1610 are very similar but the P1610 is 10mm thicker.

Haha woo.  I made the front page of wordpress.com and news.wordpress.com under Technology.

Creating this blog 4 days ago has been a fun experience.  I never expected any kind of attention.  Within these 4 days, I’ve been labeled as a ‘blogger’, there are people googling ‘Rodfather’ to find this blog, and people actually visit this site.

This definitely motivates me to continue on.  I will try my best to keep it up.

I’ve been itching to make a dedicated tech geeky blog. I had registered this wordpress.com blog a long time ago so I might as well use it.

I’m used to using Wordpress since I’m using it for phonyholmes.com.

Since this is free and I don’t have to maintain it, I’ll give it a try. If I need more flexibility, I’ll move this over to my hosted site.

So anyway, I’ll be making posts about mobile technology on this blog. Hopefully, you all will enjoy the experience.
