Tim Bray's weblog.
Tim Bray

It's great to see Tim Bray's blog come online. Being Tim, he has of course turned it into an experiment in literate programming:

ongoing is a project simultaneously in writing and programming; I write the entries and in parallel fiddle with the software that publishes it. This is a pretty involving experience and there aren't that many of us in the world who get to enjoy it. [ongoing]
True enough. I remember when I first learned about Don Knuth's literate programming suite -- Web, Tangle, and Weave. There might have been a dozen people on the planet who could think and write simultaneously in a programming language (Pascal) and a typesetting language (TeX). Happily, in the weblog era, scripting languages and HTML have enabled a lot more of us to play the game. Anyway...welcome to blogspace, Tim! ... [Jon's Radio]

USA Today: Hello, tech designers? This stuff is too small. But how will we operate such marvels? We struggle with what we own today. Our fingers are already too thick and clumsy to stab the buttons on our gadgets, and, as our eyes age, we squint even harder to see the shrinking screens on our stuff. [Tomalak's Realm]

If you want to Moblog enable your organization, get Frontier.  Of course, Manila/Frontier is an excellent way for an organization to moblog as Peeter Marvet of Estonia proved last November.  Here is what I wrote last November on this:

Peeter Marvet of Estonia is breaking the barriers between phone and Web integration.  Nice! First, he has developed a real-time SMS advertising and posting system that uses Frontier.  Very cool.  People can place text ads on a media site and pay for them using an SMS equiped phone.  On the community side, he has built a site where people can report bad drivers (an antidote for road rage) from their phone.  Very cool.

He also is doing some very interesting work on decentralized multimedia collection.  He built a site using Frontier for a local radio station that allowed them to send out reporters with camera equiped wireless phones (to take pictures of local events/situations).  The reporters then sent the pictures they took with the phone to a Frontier server which then automatically displayed the pictures on the station's site.  Very cool.
