Putting my old phone through the wash was probably the best mistake I ever made, for it brought me to the HTC Hero, the Android operating system, and with it, mobile computing. Since then I have gone from thinking of smart phones as a luxury device to an essential part of every day.  It has largely replaced my eee pc as a way of making use of the daily public transit commute dead time.

In the process I’ve grown a new passion for the possibilities of mobile computing. I’ve come to believe this will be the basis for a slew of innovative ways for us all to connect and share our lives.  Being the eager software developer I am, I’ve read through much of the Android developer documentation, and hope to find the time to develop some kick-ass applications for others to enjoy.
