Few would imagine what creative minds at Apple and Pixar would invent when the iPad was introduced. With compelling content and affordable mobile devices my children are growing up in the Golden Age of Pixar, Apple and Disney. The idea of playing an old school ‘board game’ pales in comparison with the iPad’s interactive, digital game and adventure opportunities. Beyond driving around Radiator Springs, I believe a gold mine awaits with education for all ages. But for now….off to the Apple Store to pickup a Lightning and Mater.
A humiliating 9/11 blunder tonight by Alverno’s College President. As the featured speaker at Alverno’s 9/11 Remembrance Service marking the ten year anniversary Dr. Mary Meehan made a terrible mistake. Sponsored by Alverno’s Civility Project her address was publicized as An opportunity to hear her compelling, first-hand experience of the day that touched us all. Milwaukee’s Fox6 television affiliate recorded her address. In fact, Fox6 interviewed Dr. Meehan and several parents after the event.
Shockingly, Dr. Meehan was not even in New York City on 9/11. She “watched” events unfold more than 15 miles away from South Orange New Jersey on the campus of Seton Hall University.
Dr. Meehan’s fake attempt to share a “compelling, first-hand experience” is a humiliation to Alverno College and damages her reputation.
Her address could have described fuselage debris from United 175 scattered on the grounds of the World Trade Center Complex.
But you could not see the debris from Seton Hall.
Her address could have described how within seconds of United 175 impacting the South Tower a human leg fell onto Liberty Street in-front of the Deutsche Bank Building.
But you could not hear the screams from from Seton Hall.
She could have described how the impact of United 175 physically shook the entrance to the Deutsche Bank Building across the street from the South Tower.
But you could not feel the impact from Seton Hall.
If only Dr. Meehan was standing across the street from the South Tower the exact moment United 175 struck at 9:03am.
You would have stood next to my wife.
If you listen to all those social media wanna-bees who jumped on the Google+ bandwagon as the latest and greatest social media tool. Seems as soon as they received their beta invite the avalanche began.
Proving that ‘tigers eat their young’ those same pundits are already calling Google+….the next GoogleWave.
Wave? Oh, how quickly did you forget about Google’s last B-L-U-N-D-E-R in social media? Feels like yesterday Google was so slowly handing out Wave invites that it actually killed user adoption by the time they got around to “launching” the product.
Wave was so over-hyped by those same pundits who were also on twitter begging for a Wave invite. I recall them wishing they could be part of the Wave hype….until the exact moment they logged into Wave they found out how complex the UI was presented. Boy did Google deserve one hard shot right to the groin for that social train wreck.
So those who consider themselves social media leaders (or innovators) are actually voicing their displeasure with Google+ after its been public for just 30 days? Oh the irony. I cannot help but relish that quote from earlier this year that puts all those social media so called leaders or innovators into context:
“99.5 Percent Of Social Media Experts Are Clowns”

Although Chicago is included in this video teaser I’m still confident the PR campaign by BMWi for their new Efficient Dynamics Concept series of electric vehicles i3 and the i8 will include Milwaukee again.
Nice to see BMW is still using Milwaukee’s Calatrava promoting their 5 GT Series. Okay so they Photoshop’d the image….
