Send pics to 911 !

Here is an intersting news after a while :) NYC plans to accept cell phone pictures for 911 calls. Very good and timely decision I would say. It would give police a first hand look at the incident and since todays cellphones are built with quite good cameras, it may even be used as evidence in court :)

Open source everywhere

An interesting entry in the O'reilly radar made me look at campware . It's an Opensource media management system (a complete one) , from news casting to radio station management. What is intersting for me is the fact that there are well built opensource alternatives even for specialized tasks such as radio station management. Amazing !
