The power of text

Blogging is quite interesting really. An issue I mainly have is that I have LOTS of great ideas, or things I would like to discourse about, but by the time I arrive back to my computer, be it minutes or hours later, I’ve usually either forgotten about it, or am not in the mood to blog.

Micro-blogging is becoming increasingly common. The most common of this would be the ubiquitous Facebook Status changer. Everytime you change it to say “I am really annoyed at the new Facebook” or “I feel so full after that massive dinner”, you’ve engaged in micro-blogging. It’s becoming even easier with FB being available on mobiles.

I would sign up for that, except three sucks. Apparently my mobile isn’t good enough to use their X series, even though it is the same generation as other X-series phones. Just because I went and bought it from HK shouldn’t be a discriminator! I have considered buying a new phone, I even toyed with the idea of an iPhone, but the sheer cost associated is quite daunting, considering I am unemployed Also, the fact that the ‘other’ flagship, the Nokia N95 was around over a year ago, is quite sad imho. I would have thought that we would have seen some more progress.

I’ve started looking at mobiles in Japan, and they SERIOUSLY blow you away. Sharp seems to be a key brand in Japan, which is surprising, as it barely makes a ripple here in AU. I would love to buy one of the high end ones, massive crisp screens, 5MP+ cameras, yet it appears that Japanese phones don’t have 2G capabilities, which means that when I brought it back to Sydney, I would quite often have a brick of a phone, because Three Mobile’s coverage sucks. Heck, I’m in the city most of the day, and chances are, if I look at my phone I’ll be roaming.

Which brings us back to the issue of blogging. I feel a time of change. I feel like expressing my ever more cynical views of the world with you. And who knows, maybe we’ll learn something together.
