Back to terra firma and to a more conventional style of blogging. What has the last 36 hours shown us? Well, for me, it's taken the blog beyond the conventional commentary and narrative and turned it into something more experiential. Sure, with mobile blogging and SMS you're limited in character count so brevity is more important that verbosity (unless you're lucky to have a 3rd gen phone like Al), but it's more immediate, in fact it *is* immediate. It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, within reason, you can capture the moment. A kind of snapshot in text. For sure if I'd have waited until I got home to tell you about my trip it would have been a lot less personal.

This is definitely going to be totally irrelevant for the majority of people but I think that from now on we're no longer constrained to blog the world post hoc. We can be there, right in the moment, and tell it as it happens!

Is there anything more spectacular than flying over cities at night? The network of yellow sodium lights is quite beautiful.

Here we are, on the plane again! Is this a blogging record I wonder? The plane's a Dash 8 TProp for those who know their planes.

On the way back to the airport. Will resume posting from the plane! It's a turbo prop this time.

Very well received presentation. Demo'd Frontier interop with other content management systems. I'll post details on the web soon.

Interesting discussion so far. Learning objects, meta data, interoperability. Plenty of scope for Radio as a client to an XML CMS.

Good morning mobile blogging fans! The best thing about staying in hotels is the cooked breakfasts!

Remember, although you are reading this via the web, I dont have access to a computer or the internet, only a phone. Mobile blogging!

For those wanting the serious side of all this, tomorrow I'm giving a presentation on distributed computing and interoperability.
