I haven’t written a technology related post in some time. Part of this is workload, but a bigger part is the pace of change in technology. And with the change in pace, my role and expertise changes along with it. By the time I sit down to think about writing about the impact of the [...]
Well – my string of bad luck culminated this weekend in getting my backpack nicked out from under me while in a pub this weekend. Literally out from under me – Carrie & I were deep in conversation (yes, this love struck absorption still occasionally happens even after 10+ years of marriage) and the pack [...]
A few weeks ago, I received an invite to Google Wave, but didn’t get a chance to really think much about it until now.
Though it’s been said that Wave is email’s Segway, Google has a pattern of seeming to bite off more than they can chew – only to succeed in the end. Gmail was, [...]
Ouch – I was just schooled by a project manager – it happens sometimes. Couldn’t find a search module for Blogger – he suggested I just look at the code in the header bar for a blog that had the Blogger header bar active. Doh – I was clearly over-thinking things. Just create a search [...]

I know Microsoft & Yahoo have been in periodic discussions for some time, but they’re back on the radar and for once my infrequent posts have helped me draw some connections. Since the news broke, in the back of my mind I was always thinking Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo didn’t make too much sense. From [...]
This video of Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’ became the talk of the internet (deservedly) this week. Dr. Pausch clearly deserves all the positive comments posters, bloggers, commentors, are giving him.
I don’t know if I could summarize my take on his lecture well enough to chat about it here. But what I can say is this: [...]
Wow. TED always has amazing speakers – but this video of Blaise Aguera y Arcas blew me away. Showcasing Seadragon, a Microsoft acquired technology, the video speaks for itself.
