As I wrote yesterday I love TED Talks… oh yea and I did also mention a growing sense of disenfranchisement.
I try not to take the information I gather for granted, and one of the joys I experience is in sharing with others. Of course, I am aware that sometimes it can be overwhelming and I [...]
I’m finally getting “settled” in my new role working from home and part of that means getting a chance to get through some podcasts. Actually, although I love TED Talks, I’m not actually a big fan of podcasts.
Imagine taking all the rambling and inherent pauses of conversation and couple those with ear piercing music, relative [...]
I don’t know if that’s how he spells his name, but just now… I think I broke his heart…
If the records are correct, unbeknownst to me, Oogle and I have apparently had a close knit relationship. Oh, and there’s Ivan too… who was much happier to learn about my existence, “3 years!” he exclaimed. But, [...]
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 don’t want to add specific examples, because I don’t want to single out any one example, but you’ve certainly seen this advice multiple [...]

Wal*Mart, which would be China’s 8th largest trading partner if it were a country and is the United State’s largest business, doesn’t [...]
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.
I recently gave a presentation to discuss their offerings and wanted to make that available to anyone interested.
I build presentations that [...]
Am I the only one who wonders why Apple has to take their store offline every time the release a new product?
It doesn’t seem beyond Apple’s ability to “flip a switch” to make things instantly live.
For a company as secretive about product announcements, you could say they do it to ensure a higher level of [...]
Just a quick post, but I’m in a meeting and we’ve spent over an hour discussion how Team A needs information about Team B’s usage numbers, i.e. how many hours they’ve worked and for whom.
As an engineer it seems straightforward, but if we have our business glasses on (or sometimes called reality) we learn that [...]
I’ve been pretty hot on Amazon for a while now. No that’s not a stock tip, rather a statement of my amazement at their success and innovation as a company.
If you haven’t realized, Amazon has been branching out beyond being “a bookstore”, in fact they hate it when people contextualize them as such. You [...]
