Put your mug on a moblog
Charles Wright for the The Sydney Morning Herald reports on moblogging and how this has become the new generation of digital picture frames, albums and lockets. And this part caught my eye.
"Phillip Torrone, at flashenbled.com, turned his moblog into movies. During a visit to Singapore, Shanghai and Tokyo, the seriously gadget-obsessed Torrone took a photo of whatever he was doing every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 21 days in a row. That amounted to more than 1066 moblogged images, which he later strung together as a movie.
Torrone, a contributor to the engadget.com blog, followed that with a "roblog" - a mobile blog run by his Sony Aibo robot dog, programmed to take a photo every six hours, and post it by wi-fi. Then there are the maps and snaps from Torrone's 16-kilometre runs in 10 different cities."
