A very cool implementation of collecting various RSS and data feeds, from commercial and/or private web sites onto your mobile phone.

I even lead a team while employed by Arthur Andersen to come up with location based solutions for a client way back in 2000.I think if Blue Sky’s technology takes off we will have a whole new set of applications for the mobile phone in the coming years. I for one wish Blue Sky great success.

Our society has grown to be a disposable one, especially for the non-develop nations.I can imagine great practical use for this new material, especially for the less environmentally aware consumers. But using it to make a dress is a bit too artsy.
Finally the highly anticipated last book of the Harry Potter series has a publishing date, July 21, 2007, 01:00 BST worldwide (English speaking countries). It also has a final name, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”.
I guess I will have to begin Book #5: “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” again for the 5th time, then start and finish Book#6, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in the next few months.
Especially when the motion picture “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” will be released July 13, 2007 worldwide.
