Cool, Southern California, and Information Overload

James Governor from Redmonk mentioned my three uses of the word cool in one paragraph. Upon a second read I think I ended up squeezing 5 in two paragraphs. Ouch. Ok so two things. First, I am from Southern California. I like to think that isn't all that obvious, but I use the words, dude, cool, and awesome rather generously in conversation. For the record I don't surf, but I do live in a surfer Mecca known as Cardiff by the Sea. I am not sure if it's that or the fact that I have spent a good chunk of my existence in or around various parts of southern California. I also do a really funny thing with the letter "O" when I say it in words. Sort of an elongated emphasis. I don't know why, but I can't seem to stop it. Second, I find myself in a weird place in terms of my information consumption and regurgitation. I am working on a post about the Sidekick I just bought and the challenges of too much and too many ways of communication. I'll hopefully get that out later today. What I should have said about Where 2.0 is the following: 1. There is a fundamental shift in the development of wireless infrastructure and a growth in the ability of personal devices to capture and both produce and consume content.
