Well - it's once again been more than a month since I updated here. Too many blogs and not enough time I'm afraid.
Just to catch those of you reading me here on what's gone on recently, here's a quick list:
- I've gone completely Mac - picked up a new 24" iMac (my first desktop PC in 20+ years!) and MacBook (my second - the first one is now my daughter's). Leopard is running beautifully on both.
- I recently was sent one of the new Nokia N81 mutlimedia handsets. It's an 8GB phone/camera/media player. Nice design - a bit chunky - and great feature set. I'm waiting for the imminent firmware update before I invest too much time in setting this up and messing around with it. It's bit less expensive than the N95 (one of my favorite Nokia phones ever) but nowhere near as good a camera (2 MP vs. 5 MP in the N95).
- I continue to be really pleased with the iPhone. Despite it's limitations as a business tool, it's a pleasure to use and easy to carry everywhere thanks to its slim profile and great battery life.
- I continue to work with ThinkFree, Inc. and Curl, Inc. as a consultant and just added a third client to the roster. More on that news soon.
- Since my last post, I've attended the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco and Defrag in Denver. Both were excellent events, each in their own way. The high points at Web 2.0 were interviews with Steve Ballmer and John Doerr. The high points at Defrag were the opening keynote by David Weinberger and Nova Spivak's presentation on the semantic web.
- I recently purchased the new Amazon Kindle eBook reader. It's an astonishing device - flawed in some minor ways as all 1.0 releases are bound to be - but it changes the eBook experience in profound ways and I predict it will be a game-changer.
That's it for now. See you around the tubes. Look for me on Twitter (mochant), at blognation USA, and on my Platform Agnostic blog.
