All-in-One

People like me don’t take pictures, don’t use Twitter often, don’t fill-in their Facebook updates to the let world know what we’re feeling at that given second – and flat out just don’t feel like sharing a whole lot with everybody.

However, it is not out of shyness or fear of acceptance. I feel tht this is an issue of useability.

With my current technology and financial status (a Nokia 6030 sans camera and $100), I have little incentive to go buy a camera or a beefed phone before the Gphone comes out. I only post this because I’m leaving for Austin tommorrow and have no camera but my sister’s which I’m borrowing.

This sucks, because I would take a million photos if I had an all-in-one device, a la iPhone or Gphone, where I could sync my physical and digital worlds in one place on the go.

So, the purpose of this post is to be a time-anchor as to the before and after effects of a smartphone on my digital social life. Will I take more photos, take the time to post them, engage in richer dialog, explore more ideas in this blog rather than on paper? Who knows, only time will tell.

Until then, I will hit the road in the morning to enjoy the Great American Southwest in all it’s splendor.

God speed.
