ex machina

one of the nice things about working for motorola is the fact that i get toys. toys like my new, java-enabled i85s and access to enough developer resources to get myself into as much trouble as possible. but, as we all know, the problem with phones as multi-modal information appliances is that pesky interface. it's just so...cumbersome. so it comes as a great relief that we can all use the newly released phone keyboard:

"Trying to overcome one of the bigger obstacles preventing consumer acceptance of the wireless Net, Motorola MOT said Monday that it has released what it claims is the first foldable keyboard for Net-ready mobile phones.

Besides standard keyboard functions, the keyboard also enables users to perform phone-related tasks such as adjusting volume, activating the speaker phone and turning off the phone, the company said. The full-sized keyboard folds into a package that measures 5 inches by 3.5 inches by .75 inches."

priced at $100, i'm sure it'll be on all the christmas wishlists this year.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
