Pocket Browsing: Looks like I will be the proud owner of a new gadget next week and so I am already on the lookout for cool applications. This looks as though it should be worth trying out - although the business model (you rent the app for 50 $ / year) is umm...strange. (via Erik)

Send me to Iraq: As mentioned elsewhere (so you've probably already read this), Christopher Allbritton is an independent journalist who wants to journey to Iraq and blog his way through. He's looking for donations and promises to send the donators his news articles a day in advance.

Warblogging: On the subject of blogging global events, everyone is pointing to Kevin Sites, a CNN correspondent who is (will be) blogging directly from Iraq. "First-person account of a news correspondent's life on the front lines.". No doubt he will have first hand pics and entries when things get started....just as Peter Arnett did back in the first version. Newspaper, Radio, TV, Blog The media changes - but the message still stays the same.

Toyz for boyz: Guido and I are out to get new mobiles soon. We both like the Nokia 3650 which will be available soon at our local provider. So I can extend my subscription and hopefully pick up the phone for around 150 €. Russell has a list of his favorite 7650 applications - which we will need to take a look at once the Nokia arrives. I am particularly interested in taking some videos with it.

French Toast: No, not another link to the name change in the US. Because of all the talk lately about this dish, I've decided to make some tomorrow for a birthday brunch. Tomorrow Nicolas turns 4 and we are having a typical America style breakfast for a change.

Econonmic slump - no way: While the rest of us are watching the stocks drop way below the "they can't get any lower" level - and IT jobs go the same way - our Mountie Steve seems to be on a roll. Where will happen next?

Synchronicity Mapping Instruments: Everyone is geared up for War: No, not the army, the politicians or your local baker - Weblogs. Notice how everyone seems sort of poised or waiting for the big event. Weblogs are synchronicity mapping instruments (or SMIs). Wait for a global event and then go take a walk through your blogroll. You'll see what I mean.

Measured Running: Today I took my Timex/Garmin Speed and Distance GPS watch and measured the distance I ran the other night. Only yesterday did it occur to me that I didn't need to actually run with the GPS but that I could ride my bike and still be able to measure the distance. Duh. 10.5 KMs in total so just right to train for the Easter run.
