Hey all you local Dallas peoples, head out to Have A Nice Day Cafe tonight and help the Wonder Twins celebrate their birthday!
I just got back from Sacramento. A detailed account of my road trip and the trials of attempting to fly home will be posted later. Right now I need food, a HUGE dose of Tylenol and some rest.
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.
I’m sitting in class at the moment (gotta love `Net access on campus) so no barrage of posts from me today. Michelle & I went to the Mavericks/Spurs game last night. Our first live game in Dallas and unfortunately Michelle’s Spurs just didn’t play well. We thought with a 9 road-game winning streak the game would really be a shootout, but no such luck. The Spurs were flat from the onset.
It was a lot of fun to actually be at a game, but we would have enjoyed it more if the Spurs had won.
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.
