A Bit of Fry…
Via Simon Willison’s link feed, I learned that comedian / writer / actor / intellectual Stephen Fry now has his own blog.
What surprised me most was the nature of his first post; an absolutely mammouth round up of his addiction to digital gadgets, and in particular SmartPhones.
I have, over the past twenty years been passionately addicted to all manner of digital devices, Mac-friendly or not; I have gorged myself on electronic gismos, computer accessories, toys, gadgets and what-have-yous of all descriptions, but most especially what are now known as SmartPhones. PDAs, Wireless PIMs, call them what you will.
I did know that Fry was a technology lover, but his knowledge of this subject, and the technical detail he gives, is astounding. Couple that with his writing ability and you’ve got something special.
It will be interesting to see how his blog develops - hopefully he will be a regular poster, and with his vast knowledge in a wide range of subjects, plus his writing abilities, it should be a little better than the average blog. Definitely worth subscribing to his RSS feed.
