Working at a large technology company I’m familiar with the “graying” of IT. While often public perspective on “technology” is skewed by the Kevin Rose’s of the world in enterprise situations it’s often much different.
It’s not uncommon to start a job as the only “new hire” around, surrounded by people who’ve been working in their [...]
Every so often, an article on “the elevator pitch” comes along where you’re supposed to present your product in 30 seconds or less… five sentences or less… two eye blinks or less….

I hope those who know me wouldn’t peg me as an alarmist. So take my title with a grain of salt but also, because of that same optimism, with a sense of sobriety.
I’ve followed “cloud computing” for a while (before it was called that), most often in the context of Amazon. From my position, it’s [...]
6 weeks! Wow, yes it’s really been that long since I started reading Programming Collective Intelligence and last posted here.

Every athlete dreams of two things… (1) making it to “the big dance” and (2) having that magical moment forever immortalized… with an advertising contract.

If you’ve read my earlier posts you know I spend a bit of time following Amazon, both from a business perspective as well as my interest in the energy they’ve invested in webservice (SaaS) technologies.

Yay, I made it to Highschool!
No, I’m not really headed back to school, just enjoying a moment of brevity with the “Blog Readability Test”
