Introduction

Hello,This is my new blog/project.

I’m going to see how much I can do with my new Nokia 95.

Why the dickens would you do that no one in 1970’s wrote a column about trim phones you insufferable technose?

Well in phones like N95 I think the future has finally arrive. let me explain I’ve always been a future head I think seeing the Thunderbirds movies after school day did that and the moon landing tomorrows world, the dragon 32 and getting our first soda stream. I remember seeing the much overlooked series Star Cops and the “hero’s” having a pocket device that did everything played music, controlled the telly looked stuff up fro him. Well we have finally got there.

Also I was reading Stephen Fry’s amusingly if slavishly Apple focused column the other day. And much as I admire Stephen and his writing I am slightly annoyed that he’s always banging on about technology but when it comes to expressing himself he’s surprisingly old school. He has loads of kit but as far as I know doesn’t make films etc with them. In fact apart from a podcast he uses pre-war tech, film cameras, the broad sheets, TV. Etc. I just think he should stop swooning over Apple’s latest underspecced over priced trinket and do something creative with it.

So I thought I’d put my money where mouth is and try it all myself.

So in next few weeks I will:



  • Making films on my phone (let’s say 95 just to raise the stakes) which will try to edit and upload from my phone.

  • Try to blog mobilely

  • Take loads of pics

  • Do some sound recordings (if not a podcast)

  • Set up the GPS and explore that, I mean I was looking at the satellite pictures of my brother’s house last night on my phone! That is simply out of this world incredible.

  • I’ll post up any tips etc I find out about.

  • Plus any suggestions that spring up on the way.

  • And as they always say and much more.

  • Oh and having some fun.
