Things a Little Bird Told Me, Confessions of the Creative Mind I’m enjoying this one. It’s a quick and easy read, but if you’re paying attention, there are many ideas worth pondering. The nuggets of wisdom are dusted around on the amusing stories, so don’t miss them. Like when Biz is relating some stories about…
Since joining the IndieWeb Camp a couple weeks ago, I’ve had a great time learning more and getting things setup and working on my own sites. It’s still not all where I want it, but I thought I’d do a little update. The idea behind IndieWeb is that you own your own presence on the…
Great first day at IndieWeb Camp. Learned a lot and met some great folks. More later, including some photos… Here’s a fun one… Evil Tantek
In November 2013, Auburn University’s College of Human Sciences bestowed the IQLA Lifetime Achievement Award on Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Computer. His acceptance speech is stunning. “Never allow the majority to limit the rights of the minority. Never allow people who fear anyone different from themselves to limit others’ human rights or deny…
I’m listening to the Google IO Keynote this morning, not really following closely, but I have it running in the background and occasionally pick up some interesting detail. My impression so far is that it’s an wild array of capabilities, especially around improvements in APIs for developers to tie in to Maps, Google+ and other…

In their fashion, they aren’t telling us much, but at least the change to WWDC ticket sales process and promised availability of session videos during the conference were good steps. Now they have quietly announced a series of…

The “<a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference”>unconference” format makes it an active, participatory event and many of the…
Almost two weeks ago, Miles disappeared. Each day that goes by, we lose a little bit of hope that he’s going to stroll in and squawk at us until we shake his food dispenser for him. Miles was ageless at 15 years old. Although Joell said she’d like to think he just walked off into…
The Mac Pro is an aging platform, but it’s not clear what will replace it. It’s still a beautiful and powerful system (have you ever looked INSIDE one of those things?), but I agree that it’s sure to be replaced soon. But by what? The clue is in Thunderbolt, the new ultra-fast connection standard Apple…
I feel for Eric Reis. He seems compelled to say, in every talk, right in the beginning, “Lean is not ‘cheap’!” I’m sure it’s because he gets hit with this constantly. Just yesterday I was reading about Education startups and a well-regarded startup founder and investor was quoted as saying that startups in the Education…
