The Start of The Social Media Age

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).

BBS The Documentary

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…

The Social Kitchen

The future kitchen will have appliances that follow one another like we do on social networks…SmartToasters and Multi-TouchFridges communicate with digital pantries to keep things in stock and even place orders with local grocers. Recipe apps query the DigitalPantry and adjusts the shopping list accordingly. Some of these things are already here but there isn’t…

Apple Products Ahead of its Time

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: Forgotten Genius

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…

The Golden Circle

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…
