OK, just a quick blog this evening, or should I say morning, as it is four minutes past midnight!

SMS Poll – Does what it says on the tin, but maybe a little better than others on the market…to a certain extent.  These great people allow one to run an online survey using SMS in realtime.  Head on over and take a look, as there is a free option, which of course is limited in features, but a small SME may get some benefit in the short term.  I will certainly be testing the nice looking functionality in due course.

COMMUNITY CLIPS – This is actually from Microsoft Office Labs and is a nice piece of software that doesn’t require rocket science to produce good quality recordings of keystrokes, screen image and mouse movements.  I will be making some very useful help tutorials with this little number.

It has been some time in coming, but I will take 1000 hits no problem!

A big thanks to all who have taken the time to read my blogs and I hope that some have at least gained in knowledge from my posts.

With today being the birthday of a man who has the shown outstanding integrity through a momentous 90 years, all that is left to say is, “Happy Birthday, Nelson Mandela!”

If anyone wishes to have a hand in creating the world’s biggest birthday card ever, why not click on the following link….after reading the rest of this blog of course:

Nelson Mandela Birthday Wishes

On the technical front, an area of interest lays in future technologies.  My feeling is that after the amazing 3D experience of watching U2 in the cinema, the next few years will see rapid development in bringing 3D to the TV.   After that, it is almost certain that one will be having a 3D experience on the home/workplace computer screen.

Feel free to advise on any development in the 3D home/workplace computer area….I would love to hear details.

OK, so it is time to get to grips with the ever changing world in terms of the digital age.

The internet has provided a platform for the world to converse and collaborate in ways that were never thought to be possible, or were possible, but took un unspecified amount of time to be achieved.

Being someone who works in an IT capacity, one would have felt I would be up to speed with all that is termed to be IT.

However, in the ever changing world that is progressively evolving at speeds that were once thought to be unthinkable, I have to assess which areas to concentrate on more indepthly and which areas to at least know of their existance.

My appetite and enthusiasm to be a part of the digital age was recently arroused at the Digital Media Literacy Summit held at Channel 4 in London this year. It was like having a moment where the light switched on and one realised that there are so many exciting things that can be explored, understood and learned from being a part of the digital age.

OK, with that, I will end my writings for now and learn by acutally playing and exploring some of the technologies and ideas available.
