Andre Radke is working on WAP support for Manila. "My WAP phone started to crash every time I accessed the WML rendering of SpicyNoodles."

We have a WAP channel on EditThisPage.Com. I'll be editing it with Manila on my laptop.

Administrative note. We changed EditThisPage.Com so that it runs its overnight tasks at 2AM Pacific instead of 11PM Pacific.

Andre did a screen shot of my channel as rendered on a WAP phone. We-Do-Wap could be the chorus of a Beach Boys song. Remember the Beach Boys? I do!

More rainy day digital camera pictures.

Susan Kitchens and James Spahr offer expert advice. I'm a digital camera newbie so it really helps, thanks!

Susan's grandpa makes his first appearance.

Paul Krugman: The Magic Mountain. "The scene at Davos -- the superrich and their trophy wives schmoozing with officials elected and appointed, the lavish parties thrown by third-world nations, and so on -- represents a sort of distilled essence of everything that people love to hate about the New World Order. Those on both left and right who view globalization as a sort of conspiracy by rootless cosmopolitans against the rest of us could hardly have asked for a better spectacle."

Standard: Does Geoworks have a license to print money? "The company says a patent filed six years ago gives it rights to demand payments anytime someone uses a cell phone or any device running the emerging Internet standard Wireless Application Protocol, or WAP."

My plane for Zurich leaves at 4PM Tuesday, but I'm experiencing last minute panic now.

I did a search for "Davos" on Excite and came up with this press release from Nortel Networks that says they're wiring up Davos! Gotta check this out.

Jakob Nielsen: How to Handle Missing Features.

Yesterday I took a walk with my new digital camera.
