Apple design in 30 years

March 3rd, 2010

I have been very fortunate to have worked at Apple as a System Engineer during the introduction of some of the products in this visualization. Apple has really moved into the arena of design + technology as their recent products have proved…since so many companies both in and out of the computer business have stolen [...]

China’s internet growth tops US

July 21st, 2009

To no surprise globalization is bringing the world closer together and thereby making commerce “smaller” and faster as global financial markets increase the efficiency of established information systems.

My latest read – Free: The future of a radical price

July 18th, 2009

I just finished Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson. Enjoyed his book The Long Tail (review here) and learning about this radical idea in his 2008 Wired article, but I was skeptical. This book invites you to learn about “radical” sales techniques that have been around for some time but have [...]

My latest read – The Future of the Internet

July 7th, 2009

Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and faculty co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University wrote The Future of the Internet–And How to Stop It. This book is very interesting for all the wrong reasons. Zittrain documents that existing, closed, controlled systems are damaging the internet an [...]

My latest read: Who Controls the Internet?

June 1st, 2009

Think the internet is still the wild west? Think again. In a new update of Who Controls the Internet?: Illusions of a Borderless World law professors Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu share how the long arm of foreign governments still can stretch the illusion that the internet (and thereby globalization) are shrinking the world. On the [...]

Grandma’s iPhone

April 17th, 2009

Did my 95 year old Grandmother think about this when I showed her my iPhone? Could she have imagined such a device as a child? Wonder what my little son will write about the future… Tags: smartphone, IPv6, network, advanced technologies, trends

Brainstorm 10.0

March 10th, 2009

Attended Brainstorm 10.0 today and had a chance to hear PC industry pundit John C. Dvorak. Brainstorm had a great number of technology sessions for K12 Technology Directors. The most surprising session was “HD video over IP for Distance Learning” because the original presenter did not show up….so I decided to try an Unconference session that [...]
