David Harper’s Different Things

Dean McCall at SalsaNet asked me to help spead the word.

…my pleasure Dean. This looks great!

Mobile Content Festival at SWSX

An experiment in gaming and application development for mobile devices.

Presented by the Digital Convergence Initiative of the Texas Technology Corridor, Film San Antonio, Critical Mass Interactive, and HBMG Foundation/ArtSpark. March 14th, 2005.

The DCI is looking to address the current influence of mobile devices on our culture. Mobile devices have had a tremendous effect on our society and we are interested in how that new audience might best be communicated to in this new medium. It is our belief that this new medium offers special consideration that have yet to be suitably identified; the least of which is viewing size. Other considerations for this new form are cost per download, as well ergonomic concerns, etc.

The Festival is looking for mobile content submissions that explore the mobile lifestyle. Submit your project now. Deadline is March 5th for Applications and Games, and March 1st for Films.

As previously posted Robert Scoble was kind enough to set up a Geek Dinner near Microsoft’s headquarters during my trip out to Seattle.

Thanks Robert! What a nice group of friends, colleagues, and visitors looking for thoughtful conversation, divergent opinions, and a few laughs. I couldn’t have enjoyed myself more.

…and the availability of excellent Vietnamese food at the Crossroads food court was unexpected to say the least.

This is the face Microsoft is beginning to show to the world (Thanks to Scoble?) - accessable and friendly - and Robert pulls it off both on his blog and in “real” life.

…now if he can only hook me up with David Winer so I can talk some mobile OPML with him.
