Sucker for YouTube as well
February 13th, 2007

I am a sucker for the amatuerness of YouTube like the rest of you million viewers per day. More so I’m a sucker for amazing human feats and I consider this amazing. Enjoy David “Finger” Haynes as he works a drum machine … live!

Change Your Business Model but Not By Law
May 12th, 2006

Congress is considering enacting a law that will give internet service providers un-regulated control over what content is available to their subscribers. In essence this law will allow the isp’s to dictate what is delivered to your computer, or what you can see or can’t see.

The thought is that a premium service will push content ahead of a 2nd tier service so if you pay for the right, your website will be delivered to the viewers, if you don’t well you’re regulated to some sort of tier two delivery that is not very well defined right now. Folks, this will take away your basic freedom to choose what you want to see.

I don’t have a problem with the concept of having “Premium” delivery but let the free market establish if that is a option consumers want… don’t make it law.
React here.

Closing the Great Net Divide
December 27th, 2005

One problem with the conception of a wired world is that many places on this Earth don’t have electricity to support a computer. With the concept of a wireless world one would not need a wire to a device but would still need electricity. It now appears even that hurdle is almost gone. Here’s an interesting article on AMD’s efforts to bring the net to developing countries, including a $100 laptop that has a handcrank as an option to power it up.

Human ingenuity! Read on.


Have You Podcast Yet?
December 14th, 2005

Podcasting is a relatively new term but sure seems to be creeping into the mainstream fast and as businesses begin to catch on to the idea podcasting could easily change the way we market products and services. If you’re new to this whole RSS/Blog/Podcast world, it would be worth your while to learn about it because the new operating system from Microsoft promises to have RSS features built in and newer versions of the popular browsers are already making it easy to subscribe to your favorite blog or podcast.

P.S. You can add our blog via the RSS link in the highlight box below … and yes, we’ll be podcasting soon.
