- I'd like to hear from people who use their mobile phone to record video clips. In particular I'd like to know what video format your phone uses. My phone is a Nokia 7650 so I know about those but do all phones record 3GP video? I guess not and would expect at least MP4. Supporting alternate video file types in the assetManager tool is easy but I need to know what they are. |

- United States: A Roman Catholic diocese in western Pennsylvania has become a tad miffed with Reverend John Nesbella. They have ordered the priest to cease and desist distributing Medical Consequences of What Homosexuals Do, an anti-gay sex pamphlet, not because it is blatant fundie propaganda, but because it borders on the pornographic. The Bishop (Joseph Adamec) was concerned that the explicit nature of the material might lead us to become part of the problem rather than part of the solution, she [Sister Mary Parks, a spokeswoman for the diocese that covers west-central Pennsylvania] said... ... |

- Air board procrastinates while residents suffocate "Our air is laced with exhaust-pipe pollutants, dust from farming and smoke from fireplaces, among other harmful things. The particles are too small to be seen individually, but the billions of them that mass together create a haze that obscures the mountains and sometimes hangs in the air like fog in the summer." |

- While the tech press is busy calling Morton Thiokol, you might also call Verizon and ask them what platform they choose to do all their cell phone bills on. About a week ago, I met a guy who works on the team that programmed that system. Well, I wish they were a little less efficient about charging me for my cell phone use -- I sure wish that system would blue screen and stay down for a while. :-) (The developer says it stays up and does its job very well, thank you very much, although he asked me not to name him). |

- This is kind of an interesting idea: it's a proposal for a new way to show message threads that differs from the standard way in that, instead of the "message pane" showing just a single message, it shows all the messages in the thread, more like an indented web forum. The other interesting part is that the tree structure is somewhat interleaved: normally, message threads are arranged by making a tree of parent/child relationships, and then sorting siblings by date. This gives a lot of priority to tree structure and very little priority to date: |
