RAND#32: This mobile life

Since getting a G1 for Christmas (thank you Google!) and then managing to pick up a good deal on a dataplan from T-Mobile, I've had far more reliable mobile Internet access than the "Will the coach have wifi?" situation before.

So what have I been doing with it, you may ask? Well truth be told not that much for the first couple of weeks, mainly trying to keep on top of email and blog reading. However, in the last week I've rediscovered Twitter (catch me here), found the excellent Track Daily Goals to give it a chance of having a net positive effect on my productivity, and even written a couple of blog posts.

At first I thought Twitter would finally kill off my attempts to blog more frequently, given the obvious overlap between microblogging and my RAND#nn posts. However, at the moment the two seem to be synergistic, as Twitter gets me in the habit of writing more about what I'm up to, whilst the fact that not every subject fits in 140 chars means that at least some should end up as blog posts. Well that's the theory anyway - let's see how it turns out in practice. After all:

Q: What's the difference between theory and practice? A: In theory nothing, but in practice plenty!
