3 comments on SPV vs. SE T616There’s an interesting article been written comparing the Orange SPV Smartphone (running Microsoft Smartphone 2003) and the Sony Ericsson T616 (the US equivalent of the T610). The reason I found it interesting is because I’ll probably be upgrading my phone in a few months and I’m in a bit of a quandary as to which…

Button cameras
Button cameras the size of a penny will soon be on the uniforms of Scottish police, recording with a 20 minute cache – a truly excellent idea that I feel will solve a lot of problems.

Here in my car
There was a lot of driving today to go and see the Penguin Parade at Phillips Island, about two hours south of Melbourne. This will hopefully explain all of the exposition on driving that I’ll make later. On the way to the Penguin Parade, we stopped off at a little wildlife sanctuary to see some…
