Yeah, when I tried earlier, all I got was a 404 not found error. How sneaky!
Posted by: mb | May 19, 2005 at 01:40 PM
Is there nothing that Dave can't learn?!?
Let's give it up for Dave -
*cheers ensue*
I hope I can speak for the whole blog and say how proud we are of you, Dave!!!
Oh, and BTW, now you know you can blog from you cell phone, but can you read us from it too??

So I made up for it with a double-post here.
Posted by: sandy beach | May 19, 2005 at 01:44 PM
Dave, can you also upload a CrapCam photo to go along with the new thread? That would be cool.
And watch this become one of the biggest threads in history, thanks to your demure remark that 'there is no need to comment on this test'.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | May 19, 2005 at 01:44 PM
Don't worry, Dave. I'll be sure not to comment on this post.
Posted by: Alex | May 19, 2005 at 01:47 PM
Dave, I assume (which makes an ass of Barry Manilow and Cher) that you posted this by just talking into your phone, yeah? So your blog is now voice recognition equipped. I mean, I'm sure you had to follow some menus and whatnot. But what I'm getting at is, you didn't have to type the letters from the phone keypad or something, right, because, in that case, I'm guessing this test will be the end of that.

My kind of thread.

This is just a test to see if I can rebel against the orders of the blog master. Yes! James Dean, eat your heart out.

Static domains on the web = websites
Diaries on the web = Weblogs/blogs
Moviews on the web = Wovies
Blogging from you cell phone = . . .
Wexting? Blextogling? Messelodge?

This noncomment is not a comment. But since I am here, not commenting, I would like to say, in this noncomment, that, boy, Dave, you are really getting high tech, using a cell phone! Next thing you know you'll be watching TELEVISION and using EMAIL.
This noncomment has not been brought to you by the letter A, the number 6, and noncommenters like you.

MC- I think it should be called Phlogging.
ie: Leave me alone, I'm phlogging my blog.
Posted by: ty | May 19, 2005 at 02:15 PM
MC - How about:
Blogging from you cell phone = Phlogging

BJ: Great minds think alike, and post at the same time, was it good for you?
Posted by: ty | May 19, 2005 at 02:20 PM

Get a room, you two.

Leet - What's the point? We already got our simul-post.
Gina - Didn't mean to stress you out. Here. Let me massage your shoulders.

Eleanor writes "Is there nothing that Dave can't learn?!?"
Well, yes, there is.
He can't learn an appreciation for any shirt that is not blue.
(Still posting from one's cellphone IS impressive. Unless it's a Blackberry or something, I *hate* trying to type on a phone keyboard. Yuck.)

If Dave can learn to blog from his cell phone, maybe Dave can learn something about RSS Aggregators.
(just kidding, everyone! no need for hateful emails here...)

This is a test to see if I can post to the blog from my washing machine. There is no need to comment on this post, unless you are missing a green wool sock, size 4.

Voice-activated blogging? Kewl! Let me try!
[ahem]
"Testing. One, two, three."
Did it work?
Posted by: qetzal | May 19, 2005 at 03:50 PM
Since this is not an actual thread, then this is not an actual post. Which is a good thing cause I would hate for y'all to discover my deepest darkest secret....
Dave is my FATHER!
Oops, sorry, overidentifying with Luke Skywalker again...
Posted by: Cheri | May 19, 2005 at 03:58 PM
Soon will come the day when cell phones will no longer be used for calling people. We must rise up, and find other ways to annoy people with cell phones!!!
Posted by: Chris | May 19, 2005 at 04:09 PM
D'Art: you got my thought exactly. Where is Dave's crapcam photo of him blogging on his cellphone wearing his blue shirt?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 19, 2005 at 04:47 PM
I just found out that my phone has a Web browser and text messaging. Now I just have to figure out how it all works. I have had this phone since Thanksgiving, and I still haven't set up my voice mailbox! I think that I will read the directions soon.
Someone try commenting from their phone and see if that works too...let us know. Soon we will be the Dave Barry Invincible Blog of the WWW. *evil laugh*
Posted by: Jessica R. | May 19, 2005 at 05:39 PM
go fish: I'm never coming home, never! I'm free, free, free! Please send money.
PS FYI:The whole RSS Aggregator thing works better in the rinse cycle.

I got stetson.
Posted by: curley | May 19, 2005 at 06:56 PM
This comment is from my cell phone. I hope it works! This is so cool. Erm...so anyways, like I said...Hey! I'm roam blogging...thru Singapore! End! Stop! Why won't it stop?
Posted by: Christobol | May 19, 2005 at 07:06 PM
C-Bol,
Roam blogging!? I love it. I wonder if you can like roam blog REALLY loudly? Loud enough for Dave to throw his crapcam at you and to earn stares of disgust from people who hear your random rampart blogs.
Posted by: Jessica R. | May 19, 2005 at 08:30 PM
It's easier to not comment since I broke my arm ...
Posted by: U.O | May 19, 2005 at 08:36 PM
oh hey...UncleOmar!...really?....
*wellofcourse*
are you ok?....how'd it happen??
Posted by: geezly | May 19, 2005 at 09:10 PM
Jeff Meyerson, Dave can't post a crapcam™ photo of himself blogging from his cell phone, because his cell phone is the crapcam™.
Which brings me to my comment. (I mean non-comment.)
So His Daveness can now blog from his cell phone, but he still can't take decent pictures with it.
U.O., Sorry to hear about your (not you're) arm! Med quickly! But, you know, I've always assumed that this most of this bunch uses there computers with one hand anyway.
Or is it just me?
(Did I blog that out loud?)
Posted by: alanboss | May 19, 2005 at 09:33 PM
Shoot! I meant "Mend" quickly. Although medding quickly might not be a bad idea either.
Posted by: alanboss | May 19, 2005 at 09:34 PM
And of course, I meant "their" not "there."
I really should proofread my posts before I hit the button.
Posted by: alanboss | May 19, 2005 at 09:35 PM
Uncle Omar: get well soon!
Posted by: Josh | May 19, 2005 at 09:39 PM
There. With the sympathy out of the way, give us all the details! Was it kinky s-m three-way? Running from the cops in a stolen car? Caught under a derailed train that fell on top of your truck? Let's have it!
Posted by: Josh | May 19, 2005 at 09:46 PM
tnx gang ...
putting stuff into cargo area, (just returned from R&R @ home) & putting personal luggage atop load, foot slipped off step, stumbled & fell, reached out to break fall, din't stop with fall, not satisfied until radius & thumb also frxed ...
sorry, no train wrex, no triples, this was a solo shot -- AND I'd prefer if y'all kept those other (obvious) thots & lines 2 yore ownselfs ... I've already heard 'em ...
besides which, installed Tiger @ home, & ISP would no longer authenticate my attempts to even start up ... so, after several phone calls, I now have a new ISP ...
(this just show how much I need/luv the blog ... with all I hadda do to get back here ...)
minor upside is the pain meds (not really -- they're not THAT good) 'cuz when it's time for another dose, the pain wakes me up, I change the ice pack, and then the 'net/blog is not as crowded ... not that I'm recommending this route to getting more blog time ...
youse guys & gals keep up the good work ... I can enjoy your efforts just fine ... it only takes one hand to click or scroll ...
another upside is that y'all do not (not dew knot) hafta read nearly as much of my brand of crapola ,,, NTTAWWT ...
new motto: Here's lurking at you, kids ...
Posted by: U.O | May 20, 2005 at 12:04 AM
hmmmph! And nobody even thought to make more of Eleanor giving it up for Dave?! This blog must have been too busy phlogging itself...
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android | May 20, 2005 at 01:57 AM
this is me not posting.
i dont have a cellphone. is this going to become a punishable offense?
Posted by: queensbee | May 20, 2005 at 03:35 AM
Dave,
Just do what I do! I've got my voice-activated cell phone with hands-free earpiece linked to my pda, which transmits blog posts to my email, which shoots off to my secretary, who faxes it to the IT department which then, through wireless networking and satelite linkup, beams it through the inky void of space to my house, where my dog "Wanko the Wondermutt" relays the message through the MS Woof Translator 3000(tm) into readable text on the blog, thereby causing other bloggers to read my posts, and say, with wit and vigor: huh?
I never miss a chance to let technology make my life easier.
Posted by: Federal Duck | May 20, 2005 at 05:46 AM
Uncle Omar, I broke my arm last year. Broke off the tip of the ulna and dislocated it. Just a friendly word to let you know, eventually you won't need the pain meds, although I switched to Advil gelcaps.
You will love physical therapy! New kinds of pain in a new enviroment! :)

Oh, Poor Uncle!
I broke my arm too. Did you have to get plated?
...hm... would that make you a cyborg?
