Penblogging

If you click the above pictures and squint, you can just about make out my first attempt at penblogging. I got the idea from Mie over at kokochi. Of course she has a much better tool for the job.

Still, as camera quality improves and with companies like Realeyes 3D offering digital clean-up on handwritten images, will a penblogging by cameraphone trend emerge?

There are definitely disadvantages - an RSS feed won't report what is in the image, and Google won't index what I've written. But then again, if I am keeping a personal blog, maybe I don't care if Google and all the other search-spiders pass me by :)

Robot Blogging (Roblogging)
Thu 02.19.04 10:31am PST #8243
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayI keep thinking about the blogging Aibo I mentioned yesterday. After all, AI + fuzzy logic + robots + cameraphones is a fun combination.

One practical application comes to mind immediately - a moblogging Roomba. Now, not only does it vacuum your floors, it blogs what's under the bed, behind the couch and stuck in the corners of the kids' room. Can't find your keys, that other black sock, the cat? Check the Roomba Blog. Also useful if intruders break into your house while Roomba is vacuuming, or if your Roomba runs away from home.

Something a bit farther down the line - roblogger rentals. Visiting a new city? Remotely load up your preferences into a local roblogger AI system and let it wander the city for a day, blogging places (and people?) you might want to check out once you arrive. Tivo with feet (or wheels or treads or whatnot).

Or, rent out a roblogger to cover your wedding/conference/party/event. Everybody who is anybody has a roblog for their event. You don't? Luddite!

If you have a suitcase full of cash around and want to start up Roblogging, Inc. please contact me.
