Actual transcript of a phone call I received last night (well, not the whole call, just until the point at which I had to bite my lips for fear of laughing out loud): CALLER: Hello, is this Ben? ME: Yes it is. CALLER: Hi, this is **** calling from ****. I just wanted to check that you received the...
I have been eyeing Sony Ericsson's P800 for a bit, but now comes the P900. GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth, WAP 2, Opera included, Symbian OS 7.0, a real JVM, full PDA software (integrates with Outlook etc.), MP3 player (more storage via Memory Sticks), rotate it for a game console (complete with sound and...
Looks like I'll be in Louisville, KY on December 2nd, and that sounds like a perfect opportunity to meet the local CFUG/MMUG. The event and link have been posted to my homepage. See you there!

I just arrived in Houston from Rio de Janeiro, and am waiting for my connecting flight to Detroit. I had no Internet access at all in Rio, the hotel was having ISP problems, dial-up kept dropping my connection, and there was no time to get online between meetings. So this is my first time online...
Macromedia and local partners put on a full-day event here in Brasilia yesterday; designer centric content in the morning, developer centric content in the afternoon. The event was very impressive, the theatre has seating room for 500 and there were an estimated 100 standing as well for the...
