I am waiting - drooling, nearly - for SMS to make its way to the US. It's widely used in Europe for everything from online purchases to getting a Pepsi out of a machine in the middle of nowhere. Why the hell don't we have it yet?

in the summer of 1999 i was living in vancouver and enjoying life selling gin and tonics at the nude beach.
one day i picked up a business magazine and read about a new wireless technology called "bluetooth" that would allow you to use a cellphone to pay for purchases without using cash.
fast forward to january 2000 and i'm sitting in a classroom in kansas city learning how to program java so that i can write applications for bluetooth enabled devices.
lucky for me i learned about porn websites while i was waiting for bluetooth
