    Did you know the phrase “Keep on Truckin” dates back to this song, from 1930s and this song?  Well, it’s what I’m doing today.  Some more thoughts on the next Steve Jobs tomorrow.

    / December 26, 2011 / Leave a comment
    I have linked to a lot of great stories on Sauerkraut during this weekly Sunday feature.  What I haven’t done until today is given you a story that you can listen to.  Today though, I’m linking to NPR’s Julie Rose’s story of how her family Cherishes Holiday Sauerkraut and the...

    I don’t often just post other people’s work on this blog.  I mostly use my Twitter feed and Sauerkraut Sundays as a way to pass on other people’s work, but as I went through my news feed last night I couldn’t help but be impressed with two well written, well thought...

    Amazon EC2 is the biggest computer cloud in the world.  It’s big.  It has a lot of web customers (including Netflix, AirBnB and countless others) as well as a ton of enterprise customers.  In fact the system has gotten so big, that it now ranks #42 on the list of...
  5. Pittsburgh Pivot – Do What Wawadoo Do

    / September 13, 2011 / Leave a comment
    I don’t have long to post this morning, but something did float across my desk that I thought I’d pass on.  One of my favorite current Pittsburgh Startups, Wawadoo, has completed a nice little pivot. Like many startups, they recognized an opportunity and leveraged their small size and deep skill...

    / September 12, 2011 / Leave a comment
    There’s little happening in the world of Sauerkraut right now… though we’re all excited for tailgating around the corner.  In the mean time though, I’ve got recipes.  Today’s favorite Apple, Kraut and Cheddar Quesadillas. On to the purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I go through the week, I use Twitter to send out little updates...
  7. Recharged

    / September 3, 2011 / Leave a comment
    I came up to Michigan more in need of a vacation than I realized.  After a Monday where I worked 6 hours and took several conference calls my family and friends came to my rescue.  I scarcely saw a computer until Friday when I took a couple meetings.  The break...
  8. What I Would Do If I Were Microsoft

    / August 22, 2011 / Leave a comment
    Microsoft’s phone sales are tapering off in spite of great reviews.  They have a new version coming out, but the software isn’t really the problem, nor is the hardware… its the market position. Apple and Android have established themselves in the personal business space and they have taken advantage of...

    / May 17, 2011 / Leave a comment
    I wrote and then posted (or so I thought) a blog post earlier today.  When I went to create a twitter link to it, I realized their was nothing there.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to reproduce it, so here is a joke instead. Jesus and Satan have a...
