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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I really appreciated the thoughts in The Next Social Network: WordPress - GigaOM. I’ve been on Facebook for a while now (and prior to that LinkedIn) and despite my initial misgivings, I’ve been surprised at how much value social networks have provided, for a relatively low amount of effort.
On the social side, Facebook has provided [...]
I intended to try my hand at making some videos for this post, but it didn’t happen after a day and I’d rather post out the experience while it’s fresh, then wait. It’s likely a benefit for you as well because my poor video skills might distract from the content, however “seeing is believing” so [...]
Brad has some great comments on my post about how software needs to extend beyond a single locality. I’ve yet to be happy with the “comment” structure of the blog’o’sphere, so I’ll follow Brad’s example and put my thoughts here, especially because Brad’s post and mine evolve the topic(s) rather then being follow-ups.
n particular, I [...]
Tim O’Reilly’s got another set of good thoughts on Software Above the Level of a Single Device.
I found the title a bit misleading but my simplified summary is that, companies should think beyond a single interface for their product. He uses the example of using a PC for managing an embedded device in a richer [...]
Just the other day I wrote how I hope the “opensource” culture, not of technology but of social obligation, will begin to evolve the enterprise.
I’ve been working through a serious backlog of articles, and while this one’s been on my “to read” list for a while it was particular relevant to my last [...]
This past weekend I had the privilege of watching my wife run a marathon. This makes the third one we’ve done, and while the first two were a little overwhelming I feel like this time we “knew what we were doing”.
If you ever get a chance to go watch a marathon do it! Don’t make [...]
