Tuesday, July 30, 2002They call it a ``Voluntary Roadside Interview.'
[F]or hundreds of motorists flagged down by [Florida] state troopers Monday on Interstate 4, there was nothing voluntary about it. Off-duty troopers, hired at $30 an hour, picked motorists at random and directed them to pull off the interstate into a rest stop, where Palm Pilot- toting interviewers waited.
[via Boing Boing Blog]
I'm so proud to be a Florida resident, it is pure genius to pull people over to conduct a survey on the busiest highway in the state.
infoSync: A mobile gateway of your own
If IXI Mobile has its way, the company's Personal Mobile Gateway (PMG) - in the shape of a shiny, small metal box - would propose a viable alternative to today's 'fat client' model used by mobile phones and handhelds. How? By moving long-range connectivity capabilities to the PMG, and using Bluetooth or other short-range connectivity capabilities to create a Personal Area Network consisting of a variety of fat and thin client devices.
PMG == Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone, minus the speaker, microphone, keypad, and LCD. Ehhhh?
Pocket Feed "Pre-Alpha" now available
Pocket Feed is an RSS/RDF news aggregator that runs on the Pocket PC 2002 PDA's. Using OPML for it's blogroll, you can now take your news, blog entries, or any other type of syndicated data with you, sync it wirelessly or read it offline. So yes, you can sit in Starbucks with your PDA and read the latest news over 802.11b.
I've been holding off on posting about this until Steve had something ready for download. A "probably-will-crash-your-device" release is now available, so check it out.
Pocket Feed is a natural compliment to Pocket Blog, hopefully we can come up with a way to make our programs work together.
