5 hours of sunlight => 1 extra day of reading. I like it. It is however confusing if it’s a hack to the existing sony reader (I would like that) or if they are working in their own device.

Living off-grid, originally uploaded by It’s a mobile world.

I’m out in the Swedish’s countryside enjoying peaceful and sunny holidays. But not even here I can stop thinking about my research.
This days I’ve been experimenting with high-tech living off-grid, using my mobile phone for taking pictures and uploading directly to flickr using 3G and then blogging from it, using the sony ereader in the outdoors instead of carrying a heavy bunch of books, reading my emails and updating facebook in the middle of the forest, and using only solar energy to charge the devices!
How can ICT and mobility help living more sustainable in rural settings? how these technologies can help living off-grid, in places without electricity?
