Renaissance 2.0
I’ve always loved making lists and checklists so I’m really happy about the new release of Wunderlist 3.0 which includes the ability to create and share public lists! Now to most people this is no big deal. We’ve been able to publish blog posts or share documents for a long time. However, this is different….
When did the social media age begin officially? It’s a trick question because there isn’t an official start date, much like there isn’t a clear deliniation between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 (whatever that really meant).

Before the internet as we know it today there was AOL and before AOL there was the BBS, Bulletin Board Systems. I remember connecting to BBSes because my older brother Max used to use them all the time. He showed me how to setup my computer with a dial-up modem (I think 9600 BAUD!) so…

Recipe apps query the DigitalPantry and adjusts the shopping list accordingly. Some of these things are already here but there isn’t…
Not everything Steve Jobs or Apple touched turned to gold. Here are a slew of products that were either too ahead of its time or just weren’t good enough. Some never even got released. In any event, every failure contributes to success in some way. If you look closely, you’ll see features and options that…
Gary Kildall was a visionary whose contributions to the personal computer industry has been slowly forgotten or reduced to footnotes in history. His company, Digital Research Inc. (DRI) was one of the most successful computer companies of the 1970s and 1980s. There’s a popular story that’s floated around for decades about how Gary went flying…
I was blown away by Simon Sinek‘s brilliant presentation of The Golden Circle which is part of his book “START WITH WHY“. It impacted me in a profound way that’s difficult to explain. In this amazing 18 minute TED talk, he gives solid, concrete examples of people and brands that prove his idea of Why, How and…
