My latest read: Too BIG to FAIL
I believe Sorkin’s Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System–and Themselves is a great read. Its the best book I have read this year. Sadly this book reads like a intense thriller, yet reveals the truth about how Wall Street’s greed and the [...]

Impressive update to Google Docs
Google’s impressive tool just received a nice upgrade. For most users the new updates further justify migrating away from Office. When you consider Google gives this away for free (especially to schools)….well a good thing just got even better.

Apple design in 30 years
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.

My latest read – Hot Property
Its all in the timing. The global economic crisis has placed my latest read Hot Property: The Stealing of Ideas in an Age of Globalization into a pretty unique light. Regardless of the delay in the US economy the impact of globalization, technology and good old corporate espionage has impacted the world’s stage in manufacturing [...]

My latest read – Once You’re Lucky Twice You’re Good
There was something from Sarah Lacy’s book Once You’re Lucky, Twice your Good which really hit home. Today kids look to FaceBook as their exclusive communication tool. They don’t do email like our generation overdoes email.
That’s a key indicator of how different today’s Web2.0 kids are changing the rules. Can the establishment keep up with [...]
