Blogger on Rabble
Last night, after the many trials and tribulations that come with development, we rolled out Blogger integration with Rabble. What does that mean? Well for one, this post, as soon as it hits the Internet will be available for people who subscribe to my channel on Rabble to view. It makes it a really nice way to integrate what I do on the web with what I do on my phone. In addition when I post stuff on Rabble I can set it up to post on one of my Blogger blogs, including the pictures in my camera phone post. While posting from a phone to a website isn't earth shattering and many others have done it, the posts coming back from the web to the phone is to my knowledge certainly unique as is a lot of what Rabble does. If you are a Rabble user reading this and you use Blogger, please check it out. If you use one of the other blogging sites, we expect to make that available to you very soon. Also if you haven't visited the Rabble
London Bombings
We have two good friends in London, Kerry and Sunil, who live in the Barbicon which is close to the city center/financial district. I have been unable to reach them thus far. I am fairly certain they are alright, but it would be nice to know that for sure. I feel terrible for all the people who are going through what many people I know from NYC went through on 9/11.,
Cool, Southern California, and Information Overload
James Governor from Redmonk mentioned my three uses of the word cool in one paragraph. Upon a second read I think I ended up squeezing 5 in two paragraphs. Ouch. Ok so two things. First, I am from Southern California. I like to think that isn't all that obvious, but I use the words, dude, cool, and awesome rather generously in conversation. For the record I don't surf, but I do live in a surfer Mecca known as Cardiff by the Sea. I am not sure if it's that or the fact that I have spent a good chunk of my existence in or around various parts of southern California. I also do a really funny thing with the letter "O" when I say it in words. Sort of an elongated emphasis. I don't know why, but I can't seem to stop it. Second, I find myself in a weird place in terms of my information consumption and regurgitation. I am working on a post about the Sidekick I just bought and the challenges of too much and too many ways of communication. I'll hopefully get that out later today. What I should have said about Where 2.0 is the following: 1. There is a fundamental shift in the development of wireless infrastructure and a growth in the ability of personal devices to capture and both produce and consume content.

Yeah, I have no shame. I took pictures of my wife when she was super pregnant with triplets and put them on the Internets. So figuring that turnabout is fairplay I found these pictures she took of me and I think that this is a good example of a typical morning at our house.
Where 2.0 - Postscript

Full moon
Drive Thru
Live 8
Wow, what a terrible show from a TV perspective. I TIVO'd the show on ABC and I can't tell you how bad the show was. The only thing that really captured my attention was the Pink Floyd reunion, which I would have paid large sums of money to see the whole set.,

Traveling Yet Again
Boston and NYC next week. Figure it will be a light week for blogging. I have a couple of things I need to post before I leave. I am thinking there is a 50/50 chance that happens.,
