Lifeblog 1.5 post by Lindholm himself
Not to be left out, Christian was able to make a better post than I could – I only had a phone to type with since I was busy launching the product.
Thanks Christian!
Lifeblog 1.5 Launched!
I’m currently at the Nokia Mobility Conference where we launched Lifeblog 1.5. Already yesterday we were mobbed. The general exhibition just started and I’m going to see how the crowd is doing.
Please go visit the Nokia Lifeblog website and learn more about our new version of Lifebog (www.nokia.com/lifeblog). The main addition is blogging (finally). Indeed, I am (and have been for some time) posting from Lifeblog on the phone (using a keyboard to write this long note).
We’ve also added a bunch of nice little touches, such as simple backup, right clicking on the PC for the more frequent commands, and full screen view of items. Most of the changes came from user feedback since we began distributing copies of Lifeblog last summer. Thank you for all the great imput.
What are you waiting for? Go check out screenshots and other minor info on the Nokia Lifeblog website.
Tchau!
Anyone for a flat in Monaco?

Walking around Monte Carlo with two colleagues. We’re attending the Nokia Mobility Conference and will be showing some cool new stuff with Lifeblog (geez, I wonder what that could be?).
The show starts Tuesday, but my mind will be in the US and my heart with Kerry. Patriots are undefeated and the Sox won the World Series – let’s hope good things come in threes for Massachusetts.
By the way, moblogging with a Bluetooth keyboard sure saves my thumbs a lot of pain.
More later!

First impressions: The Future of Memories
I’m halfway through a really cool book on photography called Sharing Digital Photos, the future of memories, by Dane M. Howard.
Dane, a designer at Microsoft, has written a great book that covers many aspects of digital and traditional photography – teaching about how to manage digital photos, tips on how to get the best out of your photos, and even some technical aspects of photography. He manages to do it with a light style, plenty of examples and great photos, and without getting too geeky. He also brings in other photographers to give some pointers, kind of like case studies.
Yes, of course he mentions Microsoft products, but he also mentions some other products. He doesn’t mention Microsoft products so much that you think that’s all he’s doing (though in some parts, he’s just bearable). The book is so well designed and written, and the content is so rich, that it was easy to overlook the product plugs.
The level of the subject matter is for the serious home digital photographer, someone who will devote a considerable amount of time to edit, organize, post, and produce digital photos. That is a bit more elaborate than I think the typical Nokia Lifeblog person would want to do.
While it’s fine and dandy to manually do everything with your photos (as is the non-Lifeblog world, anyway), I don’t think everyone wants to get that involved. I think Lifeblog takes a lot of the drudgery out of organizing and browsing digital images, still leaving room for those who want to do more.
