I am currently in the middle of the car buying process. The one upgrade that stops me every time is the navigation system. I love the idea of having it integrated into my car, but the $2,000 price tag that often comes with this upgrade seems utterly ridiculous given where we are with technology today. […]

Have you ever asked yourself why my work applications can’t be more like my mobile phone apps? My Smartphone is just amazing. I asked my phone “where am I” and it pulled up a map and showed me. I didn’t have to learn a new command. It was just an intuitive question and I really […]

II had a conversation with a product manager for a product labeled Complex Event Processing (CEP) but when I looked at the actual product implementation I asked why the product was labeled CEP versus Event Stream Processing (ESP). The product uses continuous queries and does not support Event Condition Action (ECA) rules. They responded that […]

Yesterday Google released a statement on their Chromium blog that they are creating a new rendering engine based on Webkit called Blink. I encourage everyone to go and read the big news. This is clearly big news for web developers, as another rendering engine on the market means more browser variance to keep in mind when […]

Smartphone penetration in the United States has reached 55% of the general population* and and the number of email opens on smartphones and tablets have increased 80% of the last six months**. These two facts have serious consequences for companies and organizations, and their communication platforms. Beyond the obvious need to build email to appear well-formed and structured […]

SXSW is a great place to be exposed to new ideas, but perhaps even more valuable are the sessions where you reconsider ideas you’ve grown accustomed to, and seeing them from a brand new perspective. One session in particular this year that has resonated with me for the week and a half since leaving Austin […]

Wow. So. It’s been almost two months since I wrote my article on setting up Android Debug Bridge. I promised a follow up post on using ADB and the Chrome Developer Tools to debug HTML, CSS and Javascript on your Android device, AND I AM A MAN OF MY WORD. I might not be very […]

For years now Matt Cutts has been dishing out helpful advice and insights from the mind of Google to webmasters through the Google Webmaster Help YouTube channel.  Typically theses short Q&A style videos provide a quick answer in less then 5 minutes so you can pick up a new tip and continue on your merry […]

Following a wonderful experience working with upcoming SxSW speakers during the Tweak Your Talk workshop, Russ Unger delivered his presentation on the life of Jim Henson and the lessons UX Designers can learn from him. I’ve personally been able to see the evolution of this talk of the years and it was great to see it presented […]

You know those days when you wonder if you locked up the house and if you left the lights on? What if your spouse locks their keys inside? Thanks to what many are beginning to call the ‘internet of things’, those hassles can be addressed with technology available today. In the future, our home automation […]

Modern applications are multi-tiered and include technology such as a multi-channel presentation layer (web, mobile, cloud, B2B), an event driven business process layer, and services and APIs with legacy integrations. Yet our design deliverables have not kept up. See the full post on The SOA Blog

Before I begin, I would like to say that if you have read my previous post about setting up ADB, I promise part two is coming. It is just…involved. I recently read an article about the “Samsung Galaxy SIV” introducing touchless gestures for screen navigation. First and foremost, nothing about the next phone in the […]
