This post is an experiment of sorts. It is being written and posted directly from my new Samsung i760 with a slide out qwerty keyboard. (The thought of writing anything more than short text messages on the tiny keys of a Blackberry or worse yet by using the numeric keypad on a cell phone doesn’t appeal to me.) What’s the point of the experiment? Well, somehow I get the feeling that with the advent of the iPhone and Pocket PCs and the need we all have to share experiences and opinions and the average person’s need to get news the instant it happens, Moblogging (mobile blogging) offers the perfect opportunity to bring these two things together.

I’m seriously considering starting a separate blog that will be run solely from my mobile phone. I haven’t decided on a theme yet but it will be something that lends itself to the medium. Maybe I’ll call it Speed Blogger and all of my posts will be done while driving really fast. Photos for the posts would probably be mostly of irate drivers expressing their opinions of my technique or of Highway Patrol officers writing citations or of my cell mates asking, “What are you in for?” but it might be fun.
