    So we hit a new decade just the other day, but what most of us missed was the significant of the next day, January 2nd, 2010. It was the first date palindrome for in this decade: 01/02/2010 or 01022010. Luckily Scott Lemon (@humancell) and Phil Windley (@windley) reminded me via twitter. Which prompted me to…

    While surfing the web the other day I ran across a pretty innovative wind turbine from Clarian Technologies. It’s called the Jellyfish Wind Appliance. It’s quiet and affordable. Clarian hopes to mass produce them for a retail price point of $400. I like the vertical design and the price point. Distributed power generation should play…

    The last couple of weeks I’ve been doing some research into the field of Internet Marketing. Specifically, I’m interesting in blogs, SEO, Google AdSense (and other ad networks), webstores (amazon, eBay, yahoo, etc.), and keyword selection. While I’m finding a lot of content that is both good and bad, I’m learning that there is more…

    I keep hoping that Donald Trump’s Apprentice will deliver more of the insights from his book The Art of the Deal. But, the celebrity edition of the show is just more of the same. Robert Merrill has a great post on his blog about Trump’s decision to keep Omarosa over Tiffany. I couldn’t agree more. The…

    Wow. It has been a really long time since I last blogged. I chalk that up to getting busy with life. I.e. spending time with the family, working with BDS, and taking some time off. I have kept up with my monthly column. You can see most recent articles on my articles page.

With guys like Phil Windley, Scott Lemon, and Phil Burns you’re guaranteed a lively and informative dialog on all things technology. Unfortunately, the two new employees that…

    Steve Jobs made the big announcement at Macworld in San Francisco this week by unveiling Apple’s entry into the cell phone market. The unique take away’s for me is the new “multitouch’ interface that replaces that need for a stylus. And the fact that the iPhone runs a full-fledged version of Mac OS X. Now…

    My blog entries as of late have been a little sparse. I’m sure that it has something to do with my attempt to get a life and relax. I’m also thinking it has something to do with the post editor thaqt comes with WordPress. Don’t get me wrong, it works great. It’s just not as…
