I was walking around earlier today with my crap German cellphone that I can’t text Twitter with and thinking about the emerging thought-interface technology (see previous post) and how useful it would be for dictations: you could record ideas as soon as they pop into your head without pulling out a tape recorder or a journal—and if the device is hooked up to a cell phone/the Internet, liveblogging could get a whole lot more live. And then of course I had to wait 5 hours to put that thought on the webs. DANG
