late night antics...
I use an online social networking application called BrightKite ( brightkite.com ). The purpose of the site is to assist your friends that live in your city to know where you are.

Kind of cool, eh? Well, the only thing is that I don't know anyone in my town other than people that work in the businesses I frequent, so it's kind of a waste of my time to use this application.

this is amazing!
the video you just viewed was filmed from my Nokia 6103 cell phone while i was driving north on hiway 680, just past the Livorna Road exit in Alamo, California. i sent it via phone message to my private YouTube account and now it is visible for the world to see! the memory requirements on the phone restrict me from shooting anything longer than 10 second clips. something to look forward to will be longer clips when i get the new Blackberry Pearl!
