So, what have I been up to lately? Shortly after my last blog entry I got sick. Very sick. The kind of sick that you basically lay around for two or more weeks, and can’t even think straight enough to read. What a pain. The good news is, that’s over now. The other news is, […]

Co-Working and Innovation
One of the things that I try to do, every month or so, is work at a co-working site. My current favorite is Bull City Co-Working. The reason I like co-working sites, is that you feel a vibe in the space, of people doing great things. People who come to co-working sites, realize that while […]
App development and promotion
One of the big things I keep trying to figure out is why so many of the popular apps tend to be developed on the west coast of the US. I don’t mean the Angry Birds of the world (which are built and grow so popular due to their first in class status), but I […]

Can Mobile Save your local Newspaper?
I’ve been thinking about Newsweek’s announcement last month – “Newsweek goes all digital” and the implications to newsprint, which has been struggling for many years.

Microsoft’s Surface RT
Well today I had a bit of time to watch the Microsoft Surface announcement from New York, and I have to say, I was impressed by what I saw. I’ve been hoping that someone would help push Apple on the tablet side. The team did a great job of building excitement during the presentation, and […]
Samsung – Galaxy Note II
Well today is supposed to be the day that you can finally get the Galaxy Note II in the US. I’ve been looking and have not seen any big announcements, other than a great review by PC Mag. I don’t use T-Mobile for my carrier so, I don’t have any way of confirming how well […]
