Obligatory iphone post

Iphone is obviously very cool, but I can't help but be a bit disappointed. I wanted to see Apple make a vote for simplicity. I want to see a small phone that is very good at making phone calls.    (Q6A)

While complaining about this with Eric he reminded me of the evolution of the ipod: They went in two directions. They became more featured (pictures, video) in some models but they also became smaller and simpler in some other models (mini, shuffle, nano, shuffle gen 2).    (Q6B)

I can't wait for the shuffle version of the iphone. The barest essentials in the smallest form packaged in that Apple spit and polish.    (Q6C)

Socialtext Related Blogging

I've started doing my daily work blogging in public over at the Socialtext Open Wiki. This probably means that most of my socialtext, wiki, and collaboration related thought will end up over there. So if you're here for that sort of thing you might want to subscribe to that weblog's feed.    (Q5Z)

It lacks, tragically, PurpleNumbers but maybe that will motivate me. I wrote Purple for Kwiki so Purple for Socialtext is not far off. Making it optional in shared spaces may be a bit of a shoot, but things are possible.    (Q60)

I am, obviously, back from Antarctica. The trip was great. Details and photos to come, I'll link from here.    (Q61)
