    Did I already write and publish my axiom about Tech pundits? If not, it goes something like this: The minute a tech pundit starts dismissing new technology, they lose touch of their field and lose relevancy. I’ve always followed the “Evolve or Die” axiom, and try to learn one new thing a year. So, often…

    Everyone makes Mistakes. It is inevitable. If you never make a mistake you are either unrealistic with yourself, you never try anything new (which is a mistake unto itself), or you are an alien whether you realize it or not. My mistake in relation to this article was not keeping up with all the apps…

    With a world of buying choices at our fingertips for anything from eye liner to refrigerators it’s no wonder more and more web sites are adding user reviews and ratings systems to help guide people to the better products. But like all noble pursuits, there are those that “game the system” and use the very…

    With the bulk of the comm series delayed, I thought I’d write the light hearted fun entry that’s been on my list for a long time. In one of my incarnations, I work as a consultant for small businesses and home users. Usually I’ll be referred to someone by a friend or a friend of…

    I have a bit of time so I’ll post an observation. I’ve been reading reviews for various apps and items in various places. And the most helpful and informative reviews look at both the positives of an item and the negatives. The open discussion of what you like about something and what you do not…

    Wow WordPress just failed me badly. I spent a good hour or more on a long post, and this is all that’s left: Well, I planned on having the second article in the communications series out by now, but it hasn’t happened for a few reasons. None of them being procrastination. As it turns out,…

    Over the course of the next few weeks or months, I will be rolling out articles about the use of Computers, Interface Design, How People Function, And Setting Product Goals During Design. However, I am not going to use the standard perspective of someone that knows so much about technology that they forget what the…

    So, I’ve had Lion installed for less than a week and there’s some good/great things about it and some really frustrating changes. Now, there’s a lot of articles that cover the same ground and mention the same problems or improvements. I’m going to try to add new information about Lion’s new capabilities and steps backwards.…

    Perspective is the ability to step back from one’s self. And evaluate what you have from an outsider’s point of view and really see where you are. Quite literally one of the dictionary definitions of the word perspective is: “true understanding of the relative importance of things.” It’s the fact that realizing that everything is relative, that helps one see…

    Well, after they closed out my account last year, I’m back on LinkedIn. The reason my account was closed is simple: they deactivated my account when someone else’s DB was compromised and they thought my password might be the same as the other site. I refused to change my password, since it wasn’t the same…
