Stretching SMS out across the internet is a complex business
What wonder of modern civilization the Internet is.
I think of it like the wheel. And sometimes even like fire…
The arena that is the Internet is a porous affair, a permeable membrane… a space where fault lines cross, rivers converge and ideas splinter in a trillion directions.
SMS is out there now. Goodness knows who’s picking it up and playing with it. There could well be someone in Alaska under the influence, or a Russian child dreaming of how to do the same thing over there.
This blog continues, and will keep on going…
The Facebook Group is well and truly on the march: 62 members from many countries and counties, & 250 photographs, each of which tells a story.
And so far we have only scratched the surface.
Not a single newspaper, radio station or TV programme-maker has picked up the story of how this blog is an interesting innovation. No one’s come to us and said “tell us the story of why you’re doing this… Why blog SMS?”
It’ll be interesting to see who gets that story first.

Opera Tour for SMS : Kilmallock
SMS came, saw & conquered the hearts of Kilmallock on Tuesday evening.
A magnificent final performance of Carl Davis opera “The Mermaid”, in the Friars’ Gate theatre.
How much of Kilmallock did the cast see?
Very little. They were completely focussed on the performance.
So Paul O’Mahony went on walkabout to record some shot of Kilmallock. You can see his photographs here. (The set will take a while to complete.) On the blogroll of this blog there is a link to his photographs on Flickr.
