Kanazawa images — signage

I haven’t felt like writing about my recent trip to Kanazawa and Matsumoto, mainly because I’ve been sick and feeling blah about things in general.

Good news on moblogging front

Read today at Six Apart that Mena Trott, co-developer of Movable Type, the software that this and countless other blogs are powered by, has bought a T-Mobile Sidekick device to play around with.

As Mena herself writes:

How better to get the features you want in a tool than by convincing the developers that they need them for themselves?

(Truth be told, they had already indicated as much in MT’s Support Forum way back in July of last year, but it’s still good to read additional affirmation of this.)

Pics or no pics, these posts would always be of the snapshot variety, spur of the moment musings…
