    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

an idea to make GPS better

Maybe somebody has thought of this.  Maybe somebody will make money off this.  I just want to see it happen to make getting places easier, faster, safer, and smarter. Here’s the idea:  Take GPS (Global Positioning System) and make a naming system for latitude and longitude that is something like DNS (Domain Naming System).  DNS uses [...]

The Notorious B.G. meets The Notorious T.G.

Well, ok, it’s just a link to MTV’s gig w/ Bill Gates, but it’s a link on MY blog!  http://www.mtv.com/thinkmtv/features/education/gates_forum/ At the bottom of that page, there is a link to watch the videos.  Some well stated questions by the MTV studio audience that was all students.

Google is on the move!

I’m catching up on my blog reading, now that the 3rd game of the World Series is finally over.  I’m looking at Slashdot right now.  It’s Google this and Google that.  So I searched for Google (funny! ”I searched for Google”) among the posts and found it mentioned 15 times in the 12 posts since that last [...]

many hours of PDC05 videos from MSFT

http://microsoft.sitestream.com/PDC05/ I’ve read that they will not be posted forever, so you may want to check them out sooner, rather than later.  There are presentations and PowerPoint decks to view and download, and it’s searchable via search words, tracks, and speakers.

another second of sorts, re: technology adoption

From Communication Nation, where there are often great posts, the kind I flag and return to read more about and soak in, or blog about: Three stages of adoption Here are the three stages any new idea or technology must go through, before it is widely adopted: 1. “That’s impossible” 2. “It’s theoretically possible, but [...]

often a tough road for technology adoption

In reading about Google Print, one sentence stuck out to me.  It’s the same thing that I’ve often commented about when trying to evangelize for technology. “The history of technology is replete with advances that first met wide opposition, later found wide acceptance, and finally were widely regarded as having been inevitable all along.”  ~David [...]

CNET: Don Dodge: Napster’s learning curve

CNET: Don Dodge: Napster’s learning curve “Millions of people rediscovered their love of music through Napster and created a whole new way to enjoy it.” That’s the way I feel about it, and I’m glad they tried what they did.  I was a Napster fan with the “old” version, and now I’m a fan with [...]

sparse postings

Very busy @ work, with a new office opening on 11/1 and getting all that going, plus several tech support / help desk issues that require putzy troubleshooting.  Church also got a new T-1 and is ready for their server install – FINALLY!  Stuff with church is all on the side but may develop into more [...]
