moblogging - still imperfect...

couple of times over the last week i've tried to capture an image on the mobile and shoot it along to the blog with a pithy caption to immortalize a moment. each time got an error sms from blogger informing me of some unidentified problem preventing the transfer, accompanied by a not-particularly-useful suggestion that i "try again later." i mean, after all, those moments are gone.

interestingly, a blogging client/app resident on the mobile would, at the very least, in a similar error scenario (e.g. something wrong on the server side or elsewhere), preserve the post, if not perhaps the immediacy of the posting. something to that... ala nokia lifeblog, kablog, etc.

in any event, lost a couple of (what seemed to me at the time) humorous posts, as well as a couple of "i'm sitting on an airplane - look at the wing" time-passers. probably no great loss to posterity. one thing about moblogging - it's gonna encourage a lot of frivolous entries.

in dallas for a couple of days. temps in the 80s. in february. wild.
