October 2nd, 2009

Needless to say with Maxwell and now Zofia I am pushing the limits of family photo management. Max’s “project” is only 2.5 years old. Zofia will now be helping me quickly wear down the trigger button on my Nikon….

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. Recent growth of internet penetration has changed dramatically. Today China has more internet users than America has citizens. Consider this form IF you can image everyone you know [...]

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 [...]

Adobe’s PowerPoint killer ?

June 10th, 2009

Billed as a collaborative slideware application Adobe Labs just launched Presentations. With Adobe's strong reputation with visual tools I was expecting a lot more. Desktop competitors PowerPoint and Keynote along with SlideRocket by comparison are much more robust presentation tools.

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 [...]

YouTube in America and China

March 7th, 2009

This week my colleague ijohnpederson blogged about YouTube’s January analytical results. For the first time over 100 million internet users in the U.S. watched 6.3 Billion videos.
