Mobile blogging



Somewhere down the line I sat up and realised that I wasn't blogging as often as I'd really like to.Not that hard to figure out why-can't sit down and edit a post in office and am not connected at home.

And so my blog gathered dust while I tried in vain to find time to blog.And managed instead to trek,catch a dozen or so movies,drink copious amounts of alcohol and change my job-the latter starting off an entirely new string of activities to distract me from posting stuff.

It was with this background that I read about the Sony Ericsson k610i on Cnet.

A phone?That blogs!!With pictures??-You've gotta be kidding me.

But I went out and bought it anyway.

And after the initial teething troubles with the blogging feature (the phone disconnected before I could agree to the terms and conditions) , I realised that this was brilliant.

I could capture any image and sit (not really necessary-the sitting part is optional) and compose a post almost anywhere (In a cab on the way back from a client meeting,awake in bed at night,during a boring product seminar..)The possibilities seemed endless.

And the phone compensated for my not being able to access my blog from work(Blogger isn't blocked but reality is a keyword that the system associates with something it should censor-porn maybe)

Yippee!!

To top it off the damn thing is light and extremely pocketable unlike the other cumbersome large Nokias I was considering.

As we Indians say-paisa vasool ;)

Go figure.
