It's been a long time coming...
This is me, (in case you weren't aware) trying to get to grips with, (read: NOT DROP), my N95 while hanging out the back of a yellow cab crusing the streets of San Francisco.
But the look on my face pretty much typifies the look that's been on my face since the last time I blogged.
I have been at it non-stop.
Hence the lack of blog-love lately I guess...
So this is a quick refresher/breather - I keep looking at this post and realising that there is still quite a lot I need to cover off...
But I'm not going to do it here... Sorry. Still too much to do.
EDIT: Err... Reading this back through - looks like I have! Ha!
So first - a 'to-do/blog' list of things I need to get done...
Without a doubt I need to give up some more love to the guys at Mippin.
My dear friends over in Fulham have just released the latest iteration of their great product which now includes Twitter, Flickr and Facebook integration. Awesomeness...
Full lowdown and (completely unbiased) review coming soon. Promise.
Next: I was going to blog about the FOWAs. But to be honest there were only a couple of things that came out of that that are worth mentioning - so I'll do it here:
Seems like the rest of the world.industry is finally waking up! Rock..
Ok - so that's the FOWAs done. Tick that box...
Oh - and as an FYI - The FOWAs were put together by the uber smart guys over at Carsonified.
Who do a whole host of similar events...
One of which is coming up in a couple of weeks and is called: The Future of Mobile... or The FOM.
I first heard about this event when I was still working with Mippin and was particularly interested because my then CEO, Scott Beaumont (no link - sorry - where's your blog gone Scott?) was scheduled to be one of the speakers..
I'm not entirely sure that is still the case at this time (and am currently awaiting confirmation) but either way it should still be a great event (it's being held at The IMAX for crying out loud!) with some great speakers and a fantastic after-party too.. Hehehe...
Someone who definitely will be speaking is my main man Dan Appelquist (whom I mentioned in my last post).
He'll be talking about: Life Beyond WAP: Advance Browsing, Mobile Ajax, and the Future of the Mobile Web.
So yeah - I've got my ticket... Have you?
Now moving on from the Future of Mobile to the very future-looking Mobile Geeks of London who held their second group meet up recently. This poor boy had to miss the event but the guys made sure that I wasn't missed..
As you can see below...
Bless 'em... Champers?! For me?! Ooo... Suit you sir!
Anyways - I must take a moment to extend much Whatley-Love to a few people who made sure that even without the host with most - MGoL will still meet & geek!
First up: Peter Romiszewski - or 'Romek' for short, big geek and a great Jaiku buddy to boot.
Next: Richard Hyndman - ex-colleague from Refresh Mobile and master of all things Mippin
(who doesn't actually have a blog so I've linked you to his Jaiku - hope you don't mind Rich!)
And Finally: Ed Cave - Txt2Lock Guru, nice bloke and attendee of the original 'Geeks'.
Cheers guys. Much love and many a beer to be provided at MGoL III...
Something that is currently on my radar and my even sneak in before the end of 2007!
You heard it here first! Shh!
Now - that's covered off everything that I wanted to write about in my last but one post...
But I still have to SO MUCH to blog:
...so keep checking back folks - more to come... very soon.
Until then.

- I got to meet Jyri
- I got to meet Vero... aka thatcanadiangirl. She's a great blogger, a great girl and best of all... a great geek!
- And finally.. the best thing about the FOWAs?

But I still have to SO MUCH to blog:
- My business trip to San Francisco, (well - everything that happened after the first 24hrs anyway)
- Social Networks through SpinVox
- And all of the news and coverage that followed that... Because it's NOW LIVE folks! Go! Get it!
- A couple of other blogging projects that I want to talk about
- Mobile Geeks of London III (I'm waiting on ONE PERSON to come back to me before we move ahead)
...so keep checking back folks - more to come... very soon.
Until then.

So this is a 'teaser' blog! well, i am intrigued! does sound like there is plenty running amok in that head of yours! get those thoughts of yours in order. like i mentioned to abul...MGL should be more female-friendly! LOL from what I can gather from the last pix! I am sure there will be more to blog after a certain visit! can't wait to hear more!
We even invited the Girl Geeks group but apparently I put the wrong damn address on the invite... I put 'Oxford Street' when it the place was actually on 'New Oxford Street.
Whoops.
would i be so lucky to attend mgol3 while in london? :)
As I said - I'm waiting...
Looking forward to seeing you at FoM and hopefully attending MGoL this time 'round!
