Google may launch more than one “fiber city” in America. This cyberinfrastructure project could will be a tipping point for a few lucky cities.

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 [...]
OLPC XO-3: third time’s the charm?
With much lower fan fare OLPC has released it’s latest attempt to bring a educational computer to the world’s children. The OLPC project has had a series of hits and misses. The initial release known as the XO-1 was received as a minor success. The expectations could not be higher — bring advanced computing to [...]

My latest read – The Age of Turbulance
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 – The Assault on Reason
Must admit the timing at first seemed strange. I was reading Al Gore’s book The Assault on Reason when Michael Jackson died. Gore has written a book about what has gone wrong in our country. Yet I was able to watch it simply unfold right in front of me. The non-stop media coverage of Jackson’s [...]

China’s internet growth tops US
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: Outliers: The Story of Success
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 [...]
