Being that i am all into this wireless thing lately, i realized my facination is two fold. One i like not have to sit in front of a machine, i like walking around, sitting on the beach, under a tree, you get the idea. but also an unexpected advantage has come with wap, content is very light due to the low bandwidth and high cost of it. but see att wireless, its free!!! but i digress. anyway i like light content. fewer ads, moving gifs, superflous java and flash. wap gets rid of 99% of this crap. just give me info. anyway here are some tools that might aid the experience even what teathered.
Why Dial Up If You Can Wi-Fi? is an article over at Wired i just read. i highly suggest it. i have been wrong often but i really do belive wi-fi is the next big thing. it almost like the early days of the net. it sort of just wide oppen. all this free conectivity and stuff. very cool. anyway my friend mike just set up his first wi-fi network so i have been trying to learn about it. this seems like a good way to encourage at least urban coverage. check it out.
Design Within Reach has some truely beautiful stuff that some day i will be able to afford and fill my apartment with. When however i am not sure.

I was turned on to DFILM by my friend HT who made a movie for me with it. It was really cool. They have a flash like thing that enables you to build animated shorts to send to friends. Very cool.

How can I enable my site visitors to translate my page automatically? Babelfish has the answer. Add a few lines of code, just cut and paste, and have your site available in multiple languages. I saw this years ago but always forget where it was when I needed for it.
