    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!

There are case studies, and there are CASE studies.

This is a CASE study. Regardless of what you think about Facebook, it’s HUGE.  If you hate it, you probably should learn to love it.  That’s just reality. Even if your perception is what you really want, you should go with reality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm8NdNy4wOM Facebook Digg Print Email

The New Reader Feature in Safari 5

I really like the new Reader feature in Safari 5.  Here are screen shot examples of how it takes a page with plenty of information and lets you focus on the primary information, all with one click. Here is a screen shot of the normal view. Click on the grey Reader button in the address [...]

some catch up to do

I have some catch up to do with spreading the good news of SharePoint. I don’t have catch up to do with consuming it. I’ve been quite busy learning and building some environments using SharePoint 2010. The amount of goodness in 2010 is so great that explaining it is almost like explaining a religion. There [...]

SharePoint 2010

Yes, I do have some things to share about SharePoint 2010.  And, I’m learning a lot more about it this week and next.  I’ll share some links to various downloads and also some of my experiences deploying it.  This is what I got for for now.  I guess it makes for another… Stay tuned! Facebook [...]

blog and web site consolidation is in order

I know there are “a few” readers out there.  And, as such, I’m alerting you that I’m going to be doing some blog and web site consolidations. Over the years I have had various online sites and have made a few transitions.  I have liked the various URL’s and hosting setups that I’ve had over [...]

Content and Discussion and Facebook Wins

Content is created all over the place.  Discussion about content happens on Facebook. Twitter and retweets are nice, but discussion in a closed system among people who care about similar things and can hide certain “friends” makes for a better medium than other places.  It’s actually open communication and open discussion, inside of a closed [...]

Broadcast TV Will Stay Needed

Even though I think everyone should have a much wider pipe bringing Internet to the home, that’s not the issue.  The issue is that the content providers can’t keep up with the demand… which is why we need to keep “broadcast” TV, and further why net neutrality may have some opponents with very valid points. UPDATE: Yup… more fodder… Bandwidth [...]
