If you were a World Expert on Something... what would it be?

How does the internet work? Everyone in the world contributes what they know to a collection of information. This is how expert blogs start and how this blog came about as well. Some people enjoy tinkering with clocks. Other people like studying human behaviour. Still other people enjoy composing music. If you are not contributing to the Internet with your skills, maybe you have not thought carefully what skills or tendencies you have. 

I have had an idea for a while about combining a few experts into one blog website.. and I would like to know if you have an area of expertise and willing to join this idea. This is particularly aiming at those who have not yet set up a blog on what they think they can contribute to the global knowledge database that is the Internet. 

Some may be experts 

• in cars
• fixing home appliances
• keeping things clean
• organising life
• finding shortcuts 
• writing music
• designng software
• coming up with ideas for software
• exploring all the possible applications of a phone / appliance (that's where MyE65 fits in)
• marketing techniques
• finding the cheapest way to get something done

If you have an area, leave a short comment and your email address if you would like to join the new experts blog or send me an email: mye65blog [at] gmail.com The blog will be aimed at average professionals such as yourselves that may not have time to figure out all the bits and pieces of an area in their life but love to know the tips and tricks in life.  Think it can happen?

Optus Prepaid customers - price increase alert

Standard Pre-Paid rate increases as of 3 March 2009. Includes any credit already on the account from what I can see.

Basically:

Billing Increments: Calls will be charged in 1 minute blocks instead of 30 second blocks.

SMS Rates: 25c to Optus/Boost Pre-paid. Increase to 29c for all other Australian numbers.

MMS Rates: Decrease to the equivalent SMS rate.

National & international Flagfall: Increase to 35c

International: Calls to NZ; HK; USA; UK; and Singapore: .97c per minute. All others: $1.63 per minute.

It is unsure whether this will apply to just new pre-paid customers or existing ones as well. 

Nokia E55 to offer 1 month standby batttery life

Nokia has recently annouced the release of the Nokia E55 and E75. Scrolling through the announcement, one major highlight for the E55 is a boast of one month battery life on standby mode! Other features seem to be quite similar to the E71 and E63 offerings that are currently available - probably because these releases seem to be coming too closely behind the other E series releases. This indicates that Nokia is trying to make sure business and executive (if there's a difference) users have no excuse for not finding an E series phone that suits their needs. See more about these two new phones here.
