Evening everyone.

Well, I’d love to sit here and tell ya that I just purchased this sweet ride, but truth is I’m makin’ a delivery for my buddy Geoff. As he just upgraded to a Saleen convertible the wheels behind got auctioned off on Ebay and somebody in Sacramento, CA made the final bid. I’ll be off in the morning to make the two day road trip. Don’t know what I’ll do without `Net access for a few days. Michelle thinks I’ll suffer major withdrawals, but I’ll probably just make a case for mobile access when I get back. Hmmm… a new PDA sounds kinda cool.

Have a great week and I’ll have some pictures from the trip up in a few days.

Well, in my haste to get the layout changed and rewrite all the Frames pages, Ron pointed out last night that if you’re viewing this site at 800×600 then you probably missed the navigation at the top right of this page. DOH. Going to have to rethink that.

I really hate having to dumb down the site, but it’s silly to exclude potential viewers. So I have yet another change to crank out sometime this morning.

Sarah as an excellent entry posted this morning. Go read it now!

OK, I wasn’t going to say anything because I thought I could get in front of a Sprint Executive and sell them on my big idea. Actually, it’s not THAT bright a light bulb, but rather a statement of the obvious. So here goes…

If Sprint, T-Mobile & company want to gain some market share with their new picture phones then they should pay attention to what bloggers & the webcam community are doing. Right now you can only use e-mail to send a picture, but if these companies were smart they would quickly integrate FTP or some other protocol so a cell phone would act much like a webcam EXCEPT it would be totally wireless.

Sure if you have a laptop or PDA you can upload a digital picture then use some wireless interface to connect said device to the `Net, but who’s actually going to be carrying all that hardware when a really cool spontaneous moment happens? Imagine if you could post a picture from anywhere within 60 seconds, now that’s something. Maybe the quality of the pictures isn’t great, but who cares – CAM GIRLS get all kinds of traffic regardless of the technology they use.

Getting the most out of your wireless plan will be tough. They’ll have to incorporate more minutes as I’m sure some cutting edge porn site will get the idea that they can do mobile peep shows and the like. Of course the government would then be forced to write a law stating “picture taking using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle will be punishable by stoning said stupid person”… but I digress.

I’m sure there is a way to incorporate picture phones now, but we’re talking a whole lot of programming overhead just to post a picture on a website. Well, I’ve rambled enough. Time to get some dinner then kick back in front of the TV for a while. Be sure to let Sprint know where to send the royalty checks… yeah, like that will happen.

Whew! Finally got some serious updates done. Fixed the CSS issues with the Photo Gallery and now that my site is not in Frames anymore you folks will just have to get used to using the Back button more frequently.

I’ve hardcoded the outbound links to your left so there won’t be anymore notification when those sites have been updated. I’m still deciding whether I’ll go back to blogrolling the links, but I’ve added a short website review for each site. (Check the top link with the red star) I thought that might be helpful for those of you looking for something new.

Now I just have to work on adding photos to the gallery.
