Life becomes blase so quickly. My first message from Hong Kong via a CDMA-enabled if not actively powered cyberphone, but it already seems normal. Thank your for the thought anyway.

It's amazing how all the changes and dramas in the world are just accepted by the tsunami of humanity, who just accept it all and go about their business as if it was nothing more than one would expect.

Imagine a century ago, which isn't long in Chinese invention and world-leading cycles, somebody saying, "Hey let's build a two-storey aircraft to carry 600 or so people at 1000 km per hour, 10 km high, half way around the world non-stop and it'll cost them just a few hours work to pay for it. And, they can talk on a Globalstar phone with position location and mobile internet while they are at it. Being served fine food [but with a plastic knife in case they stab somebody."

It would be absurdly unbelievable. But it's true [give or take a bit]. I did chat with Martyn Levy of roamad.com via Skype on his wifi system while he was flying over Russia kilometres high.

Meanwhile reward yourself with a straddle of QCOM to pay for it all.
