You might have noticed that my previous entry was filed under the category moblog. It was posted from the parking lot of my office.
I’ve gone off the deep end. This once humble blogger can now post anywhere he’s got a cellular signal. While at Circuit City last weekend, I found that I was eligible for a discount on a new phone. Though I’d activated the Kyocera 7135 earlier this year, as far as Verizon was concerned it has been over 2 years since I’d gotten a new phone. Combined with a $50 mail-in rebate, I found no reason not to go pick up a Treo 650.
The new mantra is no wires, but never unplugged. The beauty has built-in Bluetooth for synchronization and file transfer, and with a data plan allows me to retrieve email from both my work and gmail accounts.
Then there’s the camera. For the longest time, I didn’t go out and get a new phone for the simple reason that it was impossible to get a phone without a camera without going to the extreme high or low ends. Whatever unrealistic fear I had of the cameraphone (other than the trendiness of teens at a concert snapping pictures, as witnessed at the Weezer/Foo Fighters show) are gone now. It could come in handy.
With mo:blog I can post to this blog from anywhere. Add in VFSFTP to upload photos and link them from those mobile entries.
At the very least, it could lead to some interesting posts.

You. Geek. You.
The thing that's most laughable about the trend of phone-base concert photographay is. Those pictures aren't coming out. You either get black or blobs of light, even if you've got one of those totally dipshit phones that doesn't just have a camera, it has a flash. Bwahaha
