Content for your PocketPC or Palm is now available. I have been working
hard the last few weeks creating a pocket presence for the Advanced Building
Brick hobbyist. Using the new Mazingo service, I have created the new
e-journal "Bricks in my Pocket (BimP)." I could restate everything that is
found in the e-journal here, but the web site says it all.
If you have a PocketPC, you can subscribe to the journal by selecting the
link below:
http://www.mazingo.net/pc/subscribe.php?site_id=311
If you use the Avantgo service, you can create your own channel by using the
following link:
http://www.graphics-plus.com/BimP
Be advised that only 7 subscriptions using Avantgo are available. Avantgo
wants $1000 to create a channel using their service. I have created the
site in hopes of one day raising the funds (the site is Charityware after
operating recovery costs - see the site for more info).
If you are not a PDA users and just want to view the content, you can also
use the link provided above.
The site as it stands now has these areas:
* Latest News
* Reviews
* Contests and Events
* Featured Models (Someone you all know and respect will be submitting the
first model!)
Their is also a submission page that displays the details of how you can
make a submission to BimP.
I just made the site live and already have 17 subscribers. Doesn't sound
like many, but I can tell from this encouraging number that there are many
PDA users who would like have access to fun LEGO content within the palm of
their hand (sure makes stuffy meetings more fun!)
Please be aware that this is not a Lugnet competitor...but rather a
compliment as many of the contributer's items posted here may eventually
wind up at BimP. Remember BimP will only succeed if I have contributors.
I look forward to your reviews of this exciting new project.
