Book: Mobile Web 2.0

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Since I had quite a lot of time to read during the last few weeks, I decided to have a look at ‘Mobile Web 2.0: The Innovator’s Guide to Developing and Marketing Next Generation Wireless/Mobile Applications’ by Ajit Jaokar and Tony Fish.
For me, the first 90-100 pages were a bit boring to read since it was just general blah about what is web 2.0, ‘content is king’ and stuff like that. After this part, it gets more interesting since the reader gets a good overview of the current situation (both technical and non-technical) in the area of mobile web/widgets/AJAX/LBS etc.
The third part of the book deals with topics like ‘how to set up a business in the mobile sector’ or ‘how to partner with mobile network operators’ (also quite interesting to read) etc.

Kitesurfing in El Gouna

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Since February 1st, I’m on a kitesurfing vacation in El Gouna (Egypt). The weather is perfect: Usually no clouds and sun all day. Quite a difference compared to Finland ;-)
Also the wind is quite good for this time of the year.
Luckily, the kite station offers free WiFi so I can write this blog post right on the beach (there is not enough wind at the moment so I have time for other things).
I will put some photos on my flickr account after my return on 18th.
PS: Yesterday, I accomplished my first backroll :-)

NEW: Here are the photos
