I’ve never really been a fan of cameras.

Mostly it’s because I hate interrupting the flow of the experience. Instead of enjoying where you are and what you’re doing, you suddenly become there for the purpose of taking a picture. You make people pose and end up viewing your surroundings through a tiny lens. I never seem to look at pictures I took anyway.

When I got my Treo, I thought the VGA camera on it would be a superflous feature. But the more I use it, the more I like it. It’s quick to whip out and use. Of course the pictures are not great – it only has a 2x digital zoom and no flash, but it’s good enough for fun, casual pictures. I’ve been taking pictures of random stuff that I find interesting and diagrams on whiteboards at work.

In the meantime I wanted to see what all the Flickr hype has been about. I’m happy to say that it lives up to the hype. It’s very well done. I love the email posting interface that allows me to upload pictures from my Treo or from anywhere really with a minimum of fuss.

So, always available digital camera + Flickr = my moblog.

Of course, it’s got an RSS feed too.

All this technology is too much fun.
