I've been interviewed again, this time by zlog's very kind Ronan: Interview #5 - Shirley Kaiser. It was a lot of fun, and we covered quite a range of topics, mostly around web standards, but we also discussed my nutso passion for technology, my kids, and assorted other things. I've always been passionate about standards, and this new interview explains at least some of the reasons why I feel so strongly about their importance, in addition to a bit of history behind how we got to where we are today.

What's the difference? It's the simple and plain version, that's all. The handy part is that it's auto-generated by Movable Type, thanks to Brad Choate's MTMacro, Mark Pilgrim's mobile macros, instructions, and mobile templates. I'd love some feedback from anyone who subscribes to it via PDA, mobile phone, whatever. I'm testing it on my Nokia 6200 and my trusty Handspring Prism with AvantGo....

Check it out sometime if you can. I was also fascinated with what Joi mentioned to me about moblogging and GPS at the Tokyo Bits site. Take note of the “location” links under a couple of the photos and you'll find the longitude and latitude coordinates and a map of where the photos were taken. GPS Details for Tokyo Tidbits explains the code behind how Tokyo Tidbits does it magic with the photos, GPS, and accompanying maps....

Satoshi Nakajima, CEO for UIEvolution Inc. has provided the rest of us with a terrific overview history with corresponding links about camera phones in his...

Check out 26 Things, Photo Friday, photographica.org, photoblogs.org, and many more for some of the fabulously creative, fun sites for inspiration, to share photos, and join in with other people who love photography, whether or not you earn your living shooting photos. Along the way I've posted some sites with exceptional photography.

I've also seen the ads on TV about taking pictures with your mobile phone and instantly sending them to friends. Amazing. So is this just the latest toy or will wireless camera phones sending photos become an everyday way of life just like cell phones themselves? Will we see more and more moblogs? There are some interesting articles, a growing community of mobloggers, and even an upcoming moblog conference that ask those questions and go into wireless camera...

I used a wired/wireless approach in part to live my dream of using my laptop to work outside on my patio instead of being locked to my office desk inside. Until the other day's local news report on wardrivers I hadn't paid much attention to wireless networking vulnerabilities. After all, my network is secure with a router, firewall, and password-only access, right? Well, after that report I took a second look at all my settings and read more about wireless networking security just to be sure. While I was...

The result: wireless e-mail access at the base camp of Mount Everest is being added just in time for the 50th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary's first ascent of this incredibly treacherous mountain. This will also be the highest Internet cafe in the world. The severe temperatures, glaciers, and difficulties of the terrain make this no small feat. Wireless radios with special...
