Virtual Office

Telecommuting was always a buzzword that I never really paid much attention to. Now however, I work from home, and I guess you could say what I am doing is telecommuting – though I like to refer to it with a different term.
I work in a virtual office. There is no real MobileBurn headquarters; Michael [...]

Yes, I have some invites…

I gave some out, and I got some more, but at last count I still have three invites to Windows Live Messenger to give away – drop me an email (bradkellett at gmail dot com) or leave a comment if you would like one.

More Windows Live Messenger Invites

I’m still on holiday (should be back home again tomorrow night), but I just wanted to send out a quick note to say that I have more Windows Live Messenger beta invites – and I have 9 left to give away. Again, drop me an email (bradkellett-at-gmail-dot-com) and tell me a little about yourself if [...]

Holiday Time

After all the fun with CES, I’m heading to the Hunter Valley, a couple of hours out from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, for a bit of a holiday (just a week). I was born there, so it’s sort of a home coming I guess. Hopefully the WiFi at the place I’m staying will be [...]

Windows Live Messenger Beta Invites

This will be interesting, since I don’t think I have this many readers, but I have five Windows Live Messenger beta invites to give away. To get one, just send me an email to bradkellett-at-gmail-dot-com with the email address you would like it sent to, and a little about yourself (as Greg Hughes said – [...]

Windows Live Messenger

With many thanks to Greg Hughes, I received a Windows Live Messenger invite today. The first thing that struck me though, even before I started installing the thing? After signing into the beta page, the ‘Download Now’ link does not work in Firefox – I had to sign in again with IE and download from [...]

CES Hightlights

It’s slowing down a lot for mobile handset type news at CES, so I thought I would summarize my opinions on some of the major handset product announcements. Check it out after the jump.

Search Flickr By Sketching

This is a very cool idea – retrievr allows you to search in Flickr by sketching an image. It matches on both shape and color. It doesn’t search all of Flickr at the moment, and I’m getting mixed results with it, but I absolutely love the idea.

Year of the Headset

The first day of CES gave us a whole slew of new Bluetooth headsets from Nokia and Motorola – and I’m starting to believe the 2006 might be the year of the headset. Not that wireless headsets aren’t already popular, just that I think companies might step it up a notch this year.
My personal favourite [...]

Good Old CES

Well, the proverbial mango has hit the fan, with product announcements coming left and right from the International CES. Motorola was first up to bat, with its ROKR E2, TXTR D7, and assorted Bluetooth accessories.
Coming as a suprise to me, the ROKR E2 actually looks like it may be an alright device. It drops the [...]
