In the past couple weeks there have been a bunch of stories on the valuations of various technology companies. Most of them are private companies that are looking at either investments or acquisitions, but there’s also big news on AAPL’s recent gains. I thought I would do this type of...

Sometimes technologists are in the worst position to tell wether a particular technology will change the world. This is because we can only tell whether it will change our world, a world that’s often very different from that of “normals” (the term “normals” is borrowed from a brilliant blog post...

I’m sitting at my mechanics’ shop without a laptop, so I thought I’d play with my phone a little. I haven’t had too much time to play over the last few months so I had 22 application updates waiting. After installing them, I’m ready to give out a little advice...

I’ve said that I’m not going to buy an iPad. If I’m going to use a new technology it has to fit one of two categories; it replaces something I use or it is so critical that I will use it in addition to everything else. I used the figure...

I saw this graphic over at Brian Solis’ blog and thought it was worth passing along. Brian posted several other interesting graphics in the post, but his analysis was somewhat limited. I think this chart poses a dizzying array of implications. Among them: There is a ton more dark green...

Last week, myself and others urged Pittsburghers to vote for Pittsburgh to receive Google Fiber coverage before last Friday’s deadline. How’d we do? No one will no for sure till Google makes an official announcement, but they did make a post the other day on the official Google Blog with some...

I’m not publicly traded, nor do I make any sort of profit from my musings here and on Twitter. However, I still think it’s worthwhile to do a bit of a quarterly status since we (both you the readers and me the writer) have invested quite a bit of time...
