Jag is a pioneer of sorts (although he might vehemently disagree with the term), who has worked extensively on mobile blogging and mobile streaming video.
I met with Jag in London (May 2006), where we spoke on a wide range of topics -- from his blog to the early days of the Internet in the UK and the current mobile revolution in the UK. UK has 100% saturation in terms of mobile phones, and people now own more than one cell phone explained Jag. So, it was not a surprise when I discovered that he carried three cell phones with him, and had a fourth one in his car. In fact he changes his phones frequently and had just got a brand new phone that had barely hit the UK market and was busy debugging the interface etc.
Jag knows his mobile phones. Here is how he described cell phone: there is the candy bar phone and the clam shell phone (like my sturdy basic Nokia mode). Women seem to prefer these two types of phones. And then there is the slider phone, and so on.
Jag has been using his mobile phone to take pictures of everyday London and tries to find art in everyday life. A hallmark of Jag's blog is the number of interesting images about everyday London that he regularly posts.
Jag's blog is a reflection of his wide array of interests: cooking, traveling, music, technology and mobile phones. It is also a reflection of who he is: a Londoner first and foremost and then a British Asian and a European.
Jag lives with his family in London.
