A group of co-workers and were able to sit in a large conference room and watch hesterday’s Apple event. I typed furiously to capture my notes and thoughts, while still doing day job activities at the same time. I am wondering how much the U.S. Economy was impacted by the anticipation of Apple’s announcement, anyway, […]

Spring Forward in Anticipation
Today is Apple’s big “Spring Forward” event. It will start at 1pm EDT (10am PDT if you are nearer Apple’s campus). I am looking forward to replacing my old “Apple Watch” – (AKA iPod Nanon on a 3D Printed watch band). I’ve been looking at the WatchKit SDK, but have not yet written any meaningful […]
CES 2015 Day 4 – And it’s a wrap!
Wow, the final day is over and today I spent half the day in customer meetings… To put it mildly, they went well. A huge thank you to my teammates at this year’s CES! The rest of the day I spent on the show floor just looking to catch up on some cool tech I […]
Day 3 – Meetings and a few cool ideas
Wow, as long as this week is at CES it also seems to run by very fast. Today I went back to a few of the interesting booths I was at before, and added a few new ones. The repeats were at some of the auto companies – Mercedes-Benz had removed their really cool self […]
CES Day 2 – (Few Exciting Items)
I really don’t see how people can go to CES year after year. The level of small incremental changes, followed by the number of “me too” copy cats is crazy! Today more than half my day was in customer meetings and customer specific actions, so I did not get to see much, however, I don’t […]
CES Day 1 (for realz!)
Today was amazing and busy. I began with 7am meetings and customers meetings starting at 7:30. I won’t go into any of these (for obvious reasons); however since I have an exhibitor badge, I got onto the show floor at 9am (it opened at 10am) to do my 1st pass rapid pass to scout out […]
CES Day 0
Wow.. for a day of setup and a few quick meetings, I logged over 15,000 steps on my Withings Pulse device today. I can honestly say that the excitement for what to see tomorrow is palatable. IoT is everywhere! As an exhibiter I am able to peak around on the various show floors, but this […]
CES 2015 – Day -1
I am back at CES this year with my day job, but for the followers of this blog I will try and post an entry each day to talk about what I’ve seen. Today I flew from RDU to Las Vegas via Atlanta, and after a 2 hour delay to get my luggage at the […]
Happy New Year – 2015
While I’ve not been as productive over the holidays as I had planned, I am looking forward to 2015. As of today, I have taken a new day job, and will be talking about it more over the next month or so. 2014 was a crazy year of transitions, technology, and turmoil: We’ve seen a […]
Friday coding
During my day job I am a product manager. This job does not encourage or provide time to write code. As I was getting ready to take some time off for the thanksgiving holiday, I worked to clear my calendar, clean my inbox and set a few actions in motion so I could really take […]
