Yet, today I see that true multimedia, multimedia that matters, is far more than being able to reorganise your playlist, watch the latest episode of ‘Geek Town’ and listen to some weird Pole gurgling into a podcast. It really comes into its own when you’re using multimedia to record and remember your life!
Frankie gets it. Do you?

This whole idea is right up my street. I’ve taken literally thousands of photos on my old nokia 7250i, and had to copy them to the computer manually, storing them in a folder on my hard disk which is tricky to navigate. As a simple application for managing the photos you take on your mobile, Lifeblog works like a dream. Connecting the phone to my computer, I just click to transfer files, and Lifeblog sucks out all my recent photos, messages and videos, leaving my memory card free to go out and take more. Stuff that I want to keep on my phone I can mark as ‘favorite’ and it gets copied back.
It’s an acquired taste. But, it’s not one of those desserts you eat a bunch of. A small dollop suffices. This one was pretty tasty, though. The brand was Kympi (a way to say ‘ten’). It came frozen (as usual) in a box printed to look like birch bark. How cute.
Oh, and don’t mistake it for chocolate mousse as I did the first time I ate this. 😉
By modern aviation security rules, these items are considered a threat. Indeed, I can see how an individual or group armed with these items can over power the crew and passengers of an airplane. Right. Of course, according to the laws of most civilized countries, these are considered absolutely harmless for people of most ages.
This little tool set was confiscated.
The irony is that I already had passed one standard security check and this one was an extra one. Also, just behind me the just let a bunch of folks through to thin out the back-up. So, how serious could this check be?
The silver lining on this dark cloud of idiocy is the extreme kindness of the security guys near gate 27 at Heathrow today. They apologized for having to take it. When I asked the gate personnel if I could check my bag at the gate, they showed me the chute nearby just for that. Then, the security guy kindly accompanied me and put my little toolset in my bag and watched with me as it flew down the chute.
We all turned out winners today and kindness and common sense overcame stupidity.
