Borobudur, a Buddhist temple on the island of Java.
For a change of pace, here’s an audio podcast. My good friend and environmental journalism colleague Dale Willman just got back from a three-week trip to Indonesia where he was training radio journalists there how to do an environmental radio show — and just how to [...]

Venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson had some nice things to say about the Nokia N95 in March 2007. Wonder what he thinks of the US service and support?..
Looks like Nokia USA is making some initial moves toward improving how it serves the US market. So far, these seem focused strictly on [...]
Here’s why I’m going to get myself some “internet insurance.” I never want to deal with this situation again.
And BTW, Nokia (you’re still listening, right?) this NewsTools 2008 conference I’m out is a big reason why I bought my N95 last month — remember, the one that bricked after your firmware update and that you [...]

“Hi Amy, I work with Charlie at [...]

My friend Beth Kanter is keeping a close eye on Nokia, hoping to keep her new N95 from turning into a brick, like mine did.
Recently I bought, fell madly in love with, and then sadly had to return a near-perfect moblogging tool — the Nokia N95 — after the very first [...]
OK, this isn’t my personal idea of cell phone nirvana, but I love it when designers start fantasizing…
