Reorganizing my digital self
I’ve decided to reorganize my digital self, my presence online. This “tumblelog” is now replacing my rather stale blog. Mobile photos will no longer appear on flickr, but rather here or on twitter using twitpic or similar services. Flickr is reserved for more high quality images. My lifestream, connecting various social networks and services, is now available on me.karlsoderstrom.com courtesy of storytlr.
I’m hoping that the feed migration works more or less automagically, but I’ve decided not to try to get all the old URLs redirected correctly. I did that when I migrated from Blogger to Wordpress, and I don’t really feel like doing it again…

Crackberry
This is something I’ve noticed before, but it really got confirmed on my most recent flight over to the US; Blackberry (or Crackberry) has manage to create total addiction among it’s users. About 15 minutes before touchdown, the american Blackberry user across the aisle picked up the his phone and just sat there, phone in hand, waiting for the moment that he could turn it on. Seconds after touchdown, long before the purser announced that phones could be turned on after going through customs, he was checking his email.
The same thing on the connecting domestic US flight. One guy close to me sat with this Blackberry in his hands the whole flight (about 3 hours). Seconds after touchdown, I could see no less than four Blackberry users tapping away on their devices. However, all iPhones and other devices seemed to be turned on when the plane was getting closer to the gate.
How has Blackberry manage to create this kind of total addiction, where the suit-wearing middle aged men are more eager to check their work email than college students checking their facebook?
Mm…

And now, a bit of history…
This is to my knowledge the oldest (preserved) blog post ever being published from a SEMC phone. Interesting? Nah, not really, but still…
