My latest read – Cognitive Surplus
Remember the last time you read a great story that you caught yourself peaking at the remaining unread pages because you didn’t want the story to end? That’s how I can best describe Clay Shirky’s book Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age. His stories were coming to a close before I was [...]

My latest read – House of Cards
After ripping through Too Big to Fail it seems natural to continue understanding the collapse of Bear Stearns with House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street to get a bit under the hood of how the collapse of Wall Street almost killed our economy. The book’s focus is [...]

A small school’s BIG cost
Small schools (K12 and Colleges with less than 1,000 students) are accustomed like all of us to accessing email around the clock. We know email is habit forming at best and compulsive at worst. The new economy proves funding 24/7 in-house email services can be staggering as budgets are slashed. Many schools have embraced [...]

Amazon’s Kindle capitulation ?
Want to confuse customers? How about taking the “if ya can’t beat`em, join`em” approach….
I wonder what Bezos thinks about when you pull this type of capitulation. I cannot help but wonder about Amazon’s own statement: NO KINDLE REQUIRED. If anyone sees this add and is deciding which to choose, this move by Amazon cements the [...]

Sports Illustrated on the iPad ?
In January Time Inc., the publisher of Sports Illustrated showed off their own tablet highlighting a future issue of SI for tablet users. I immediately questioned their “announcement” to produce their own tablet.
Clearly the business model for ANY publisher to develop a tablet is a mistake with the marketplace is its infancy. The internet forced [...]

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.
