This is a weird time of year. Here in Berkeley it's a gorgeous day, sunny, though chilly. The magnolias are already blooming. It's not spring yet, not even winter. The looming New Year makes a guy think about transitions, the passage of time, new stuff—the usual. The numeral 2005 sounds new—shiny and pristine, just out of the box, wheareas 2004 sounds (already), old, scratched, a little battered, like my camera cellphone (which I bought in 2004).

[There's blogging, and there's blogging blogging.]
This morning I left my fat laptop at home. (I call it my fat laptop because next month there will be thin laptops, even though I don't really need one.) I'm enjoying a brief sunny respite from the Northern California winter rain, seated out on the terrace of Espresso Roma. Heck, I was even able to take a self-portrait with the iPhone for the image which you now see above if you are not using the text-only version of Jonathan's Coffeeblog.
And what is the import of all this? Simple: I can blog from an iPhone. Almost, that is. The week before last I blogged from the Microsoft Bloggers Lounge at MacWorld Expo, using only an iPhone. But I was blogging to Twitter. And, although Twitter is a real blog by any definition, blogging to Twitter is not blogging blogging. It's just blogging. Blogging to Jonathan's Coffeeblog, now that's blogging blogging.
Be that as it may, I can't put my Coffeeblogpost online with just my iPhone. I need all the computing power of my non-portable home computer. And so, I cannot finish the job of blogging blogging here on the temporarily sunny terrace of Espresso Roma. I've got to go home and finish the job.
And if you're reading this now on Jonathan's Coffeeblog, that's exactly what I've done.
