My latest read – The Post-American World

November 12th, 2009

Fareed Zakaria’s The Post-American World is an enjoyable read. Most would recognize his CNN show Fareed Zakaria GPS. He has also participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos. The bottom line: The US is not falling behind, but rather quite simply the world is catching up. Some amazing technologies are lifting the citizens of [...]

what’s old is new

October 21st, 2009

Fighting a war overseas on two fronts, an economic recession at home and a government shifting millions to fund the war while shutting down important programs for education.

My latest read – The Age of Turbulance

August 19th, 2009

I finished Alan Greenspan’s book The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World and learned it was more than I expected from the former Chairman of The Federal Reserve. And with the recession still in high gear it was also good timing. Beyond his sheer volume of knowledge regarding the economy, global markets and international [...]

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: Outliers: The Story of Success

June 29th, 2009

I’m not sure why it took so long to read Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book Outliers: The Story of Success but I’m sure glad its just as enjoyable as his books The Tipping Point and Blink. As defined scientifically Outliers is an observation that is numerically distant from the rest of the data. Gladwell not only [...]

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.
