Digital Lifestyle Day update

Digital Lifestyle Day, run by Herbert Burda Media, is underway. You can wish you were there by visiting the website with photos sent from the event. Gotta say, the photos are sent from mobile phones using Lifeblog (it’s not dead yet, I guess). I wonder if they will also post videos from the phone?

Thanks, Heiko, for the link.

There are recorded interviews, too. Here’s one from the great Jyri Engeström (interviewed by the great Nicole Simon). And one with the great Jochen Wegner, too! And Felix! Aw, man, I keep finding more cool folks!

Damn you, Heiko, for the link.

Hmm, maybe we should have a Mobile Lifestyle Day.

Stuart Mudie is organizing a mobile gathering at 3GSM

Mobile maniacs unite!

The 3GSM World Congress, the annual trade fair that is the world’s largest gathering of everyone with an interest in all things mobile, will take place in Barcelona from Monday 13 to Thursday 16 February.

I will be attending this year to witness the launch of the 2006 edition of the Netsize Guide, of which I am one of the co-authors, and I’m willing to bet I won’t be the only mobile blogger in town. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could all meet up somewhere beforehand and indulge in some pre-3GSM mobile geekery?

UPDATE: D’oh! Forgot to say that as far as I know, I will NOT be there. Sad, but true. So, take pics and drink a few for me (I can handle it). I like brown ales.

Oh, and the organizers are Stuart and Rudy. When I know more, I’ll post it here.

On Benjamin Franklin’s 300th birthday on Tuesday, Philadelphia will be the celebratory hub, boasting a 42-page full-color guide to 85 events that include Ben’s Birthday Bash at the National Liberty Museum and a gala parade to his grave.

And what about in Boston, where the founding father was born and his intellect and character nurtured?
