As I mentioned in my last post, I am focusing on the Internet of Things in my day job. I am going to be at a local meetup at the end of the month, the RIoT meetup. I love the name, and this is their second event. Unfortunately I missed the first meetup, due to […]

The Internet of Things and App Development
The Internet of Things has been a hot topic for the last 24 months, reaching a fevered pitch in the last few months. When I was at CES earlier this year, you couldn’t find a company that didn’t have some perspective on the Internet of Things (IoT). Car companies, consumer electronic companies, even clothing companies […]
An Enterprise iPad case/keyboard Review
I recently was approached to write a review of the PI DOCK iT Air iPad case with bluetooth keyboard. Given that I have had a keyboard case for every iPad I’ve owned (except my current one) I was willing to give it a try. I find that using a case can certainly increase my productivity […]

My continuing experience with glass
It’s been a few months with Google glass, and while it is interesting, I am still not overly impressed with the tech.

May 12th Triangle Mac users group meeting.
Meeting for a computer group at an Irish pub is a great idea… Unless you want to hear. The over all noise in the pub wouldn’t be bad for all speakers, but some of the presenters were not loud enough, and many of the attendees could not hear. The topics are office in the cloud. […]
FaceFilter Pro 3.0 – Review
While at MacWorld/iWorld in April, I had the opportunity to catch up with the team at Reallusion. They were showing their new FaceFilter 3.0 for Mac. The program allows us average humans to do a lot of the same touchups on portraits that a PhotoShop expert would spend hours doing. To say it is […]
Review – Milk 2 (Desktop Tumblr)
A few weeks back at MacWorld/iWorld I had the pleasure of meeting Diego, the developer for the Desktop Tumblr app called Milk 2. He was showcasing his app in App developer space, and was having pretty good traffic. We talked for a bit, and he indicated the app should be released in the App Store […]
Five days with Google Glass
As I mentioned in my last post, my Google glass arrived on Monday and I ran into a few problems to start with. I don’t want to color the experience with those day one battery problems, so I decided to wait until today to provide a more detailed description of my experience so far. I’ve […]
