Re: Getting Address Book Contacts to Helio

Regarding step 5: The import is actually grabbing phone numbers from the Mobile Phone and Home Phone column, but for some reason the main view of their web page only shows you what's in the Home Phone for each contact. If you click in to a given contact, you will see that their mobile number is here. So follow all of this except step 5!

How powerful does the gas generator have to be? Is it possible to make one that you can pull out of the car and use as a backup power system at home, or when traveling? (Say, while you are camping?) That would be sweet. If I'm going to have an internal combustion generator, I might as well be able to use it for all of my off-grid electricity needs!

This endless, quiet lake is not the one filled with poisonous gasses? The house looks beautiful!

One thing I learned from "Mountains Beyond Mountains" is the value of having reliable research data for all the good work that you do. If Farmer hadn't been able to show the impact of the approach he was taking, it seems unlikely that he would have as much support as he does today. Just something to consider. I would definitely work backwards from the reports and analysis you need -- or might need in the future.

Sounds like you'll just have to go back to wrap up the OpenMRS work... and I heard you didn't kill any elephants yet either. Let's get on that.

You know Flickr has a built-in for this, right?

Or is that already how you got these...

Re: The Fourth Screen

I'm not sure if I buy that people are "going back out into the world" with their devices in quite the way that people did before the first screen emerged. What I mean is that in watching those clips of early cinema, I'm struck by how people socially interacted before cinema was common, I'm struck by the sense that everyone was much more... together? Is that the right word? Not united, but just sharing more common daily experiences and common mediated context. There was so little of it! I could be romanticizing or misrepresenting history, but it felt like there was more conversation between strangers and more interaction.

Even watching those visions of a flying car taking off, you see a throng of people around it as it rises, grouped in a way that you don't feel at airports now where everyone is plugged in to their own iPod, ignoring everyone around them unless a transaction is required. So are we really coming to deeply human world if we're all staring into these little screens as we walk around? Or, what can we do to create a place where people are more open, more talkative, less isolated, less connected-at-a-distance and more connected to the present moment and place? I don't think cell phones (as much as I love/rely on them) are the answer to that question.

That quote doesn't strike me as particularly great for investor relations / confidence. I mean, it's well and good to be proud of what you achieve; hopefully those people with a sunk cost in owning the enterprise feel the same way about their asset.

Seriously, don't be such a hater. Use it if you like it. The guy is giving the thing away for free, which as dotcommunist points out, might save you time if you need something like this. And really, who cares if you're impressed? I'm sure you have more important things to do than complain about how someone else's creation isn't good enough to rate a gushing post of your blog that no one reads.
