As a technologist, I'm always fascinated by the amount of functionality that can be packed into a product. The more functionality, the better. Remember when everyone had a flip-phone and the chore it was to exchange [...]

When I was growing up, in school, we used to have days where our primary teacher called in sick (or went skiing). On such days, we would get a substitute teacher to take over the class for one or more days. The substitute (or Sub) [...]

We have all grown up hearing that a picture is worth a thousand words, but, has anyone ever tested this notion that is generally taken as fact? While the question is rather elementary, in the business world, the essence of solid a solid idea is sometimes lost in the conveyance to [...]

As consumers, we are continuously presented with new things that pull money out of pockets and into the hands of people who have created something that compels us to plunk down our hard earned money to be a part of the new hotness. Have you ever contemplated what is takes to make consumers act so [...]

It's great to be home! Especially when the last trip was to a place where nothing made any sense, but all of the inhabitants were completely content. The place was called Cyberia. This was an interesting place because the people there spoke a language called "Buzz". All of their words sounded [...]

This is a warning: I'm about as hot as the Antares A. (Google it!) I'm a little put off by a conversation with a colleague who emphatically proclaimed (at a well-attended gathering) that “innovation cannot be taught”. At the time [...]

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a friend's retirement party. As is customary, everyone had great things to say about him. It's expected and, truthfully, he was very deserving of the praise. One topic, however, was stated consistently as each presenter [...]

We have been around long enough to recognize incompetence when we see it! Like many of you reading this now, I have had my share of moments that defy logic and wisdom, as well. When presented with a challenging set of issues, it is not uncommon [...]

People of the world! You don't have to build a prototype to prove that your idea has value. In fact, building a prototype is dangerous. Yes. I said it's dangerous! How many times have you thought about a new concept and the first thing you attempted to do was to build a prototype [...]

When meeting new people, and observing their respective talents, I am increasingly amazed at the degree to which many of them grasp and are fluid with technologies that fit only into my buzzword dictionary. More and more people appear to be active practitioners of technologies such [...]

Have you ever had days when you took pleasure at throwing someone out of your office? I do it all the time and it feels great! This is what I'm doing in my head, of course!
