Furthermore the people who publish that to the Web with the spread of the camera equipped portable telephone for the various scenes of daily life the photograph, were present. Kawasaki points out this already. There is the similar movement even in the United States. The PDA which the American Danger corporation sells unifies, the portable telephone can put the small camera with the keyboard and option.

This was my cool read for today: a Wired article about a new show of the work of Leonardo DaVinci at The Met. The piece reports on the belief of many that he was a true hacker of his time. I'm putting the show on my list of things to do on one of my weeknights in the city.

BBC News: Smart mobile offers web to go

Danger is improving the Sidekick ahead of its launch in Europe in the summer.

It is planning a colour screen and improved web browser, as well redoing the way the phone works after several critiques.

In the long term, Danger aims to licence its technology rather than build the devices itself.

Apple, please hurry up and acquire Danger!

So I got out of the Spool talk and set out on foot to explore the Union Square area for food. My first choice would have been Republic, which is an excellent japanese noodle place right on the square. But the wait was 25 minutes.

Now I'm in the position of being somewhat hungry but with no strong preference for cuisine (drawing a lower threshold at McDs). Bad situation when you're in New York City where there are interesting places to eat on virtually every corner. I ended up at E 19th St & Park Avenue, and settled on the City Crab and Seafood Company.

Dinner is Maryland Crab Cakes--thanks to the AIG consulting contract expense account.
