Check Out My Mobile Sketch Blog

A couple weeks ago I realized I wasn't sketching as much as I used to and decided to do something about it. I decided to build myself a "moblog," a blog which you update by sending text messages from your cell phone.

Getting my hands dirty with Perl for the first time in years was a lot of fun and it was rewarding to write an app that works with my phone. After taking a picture of a sketch using my cell phone I embed it in a message, append caption text, and send it to a secret email address along with a secret password. Mail sent to that address gets forwarded to my Perl script (thanks Keenan). The script extracts the photo, saves it as a file, extracts the caption, and adds it to the database. (If you're interested in the script give me a shout.)

I've limited myself to posting my sketches but since I can post anywhere, anytime there is a lot of room for creativity. So, go check out my sketch blog and be sure to leave me a comment!
