National Parks are some of America’s most important assets. Some are quite off the beaten track… others are more accessible. All are spectacular in their own way. All of them seem to SUCK for cell phone coverage. What was your experience this summer? Did you just put up with it too? In the last few [...]

Thumbnail image for How Important is FaceTime? Do You Need a FaceTime Strategy?

A month ago I circulated some blog post ideas to friends on Apple Facetime. I got some feedback that they were interesting. In the meantime I’ve continued to trace Apple’s FaceTime video solution for iPhone and contemplate the implications. Ultimately, I’m interested in the opportunities FaceTime is likely to create and present. Then what it [...]

Skype iPhone Multitasking Not Ready for Prime Time.

Thumbnail image for Skype iPhone Multitasking Not Ready for Prime Time.

Skype launches an iPhone multitasking upgrade. As their list of errors and issues shows it’s premature, and from my perspective lacks understanding of how users will want to use it. I’m also stunned that all those iPhone reviewers and general PR blogs just put out the details without seemingly even testing the product. This release [...]

July 30, 2010

This post is the result of a collaborative conversation. Jon Husband and I were catching up on Skype discussing where KM / HR /  enterprise learning / web2.o themes are going. I captured some of our thoughts in rough notes and  then tried to grow them. I passed back my draft to Jon who edited [...]

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been motorcycling through California and Oregon. I went to the BMW International Rally in Redmond Oregon, spent time camping in fairly undeveloped campsites and ran up about 3000 miles including a driveshaft failure on my bike. I thought about blogging and tweeting while away. I didn’t blog and [...]

LogMeIn – DOESN’T WORK AS ADVERTISED – If You Use a Mac Don’t Waste Your Money

July 9, 2010
logmein

It’s not often I feel misled by a product and the hoopla surrounding it. LogMeIn Ignition for iPad/iPhone (see below for their description) is misrepresented on their site. It’s simply not a secure solution and not worth 29.99 from the iTunes store. I’ll share my story and you can be the judge if my expectations [...]
