Most of these are in the form of questions that could be explored...maybe a chapter each... <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Network, wireless and geolocation:</span> <br /><ul> <li>How far can lcoation aware information take us?</li> <li>What happens when you have 'ephemeral' ad-hoc networks?</li> <li>What's the world like with billions of nodes on the network?</li> </ul> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Video/Audio: <br /></span> <ul> <li>Wireless video?

I'd like to amp up my writing and eventually actually write a book. Part of that is about generating ideas and following them by writing about them. <br /> <br />This doesn't have to be about any particular genre of books, although the likely contributions from me will be in the following categories: <br /> <br /><ul> <li>Science Fiction</li> <li>Fantasy</li> <li>Computer/Technical</li> <li>Science</li> </ul> And, although I do enjoy a good mystery now and again, I'm not expecting to fill a niche there, but I won't write it out just yet. <br /> <br />I'm also open to thinking and writing about short stories and or articles that could be used in various publications. <br /> <br />I intend to invite others into this conversation as contributors, if you are interested, let me know. <br /> <br />Kipp <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9990874-110502877715108779?l=kippsterbookster.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04041272577346309823noreply@blogger.com0
