Using mobile apps for interactive television
I’ve known Penn Jillette and Teller for a pretty long time now. We used to spend late nights hanging out in diners in New Jersey at all kinds of late hours. They have always been amazingly creative and early adopters. Tomorrow night will be the premier of their new show "Penn and Teller Tell a [...]
I don’t mind saying I’m worried
Two things have happened over the last couple of weeks that really got my attention. The first was someone in Greece hacking into my PayPal account which caused $200 to be pulled out of my bank account. I hadn’t really given much thought to having my bank account tied to Paypal. The incident got me [...]
A Systems Approach to Social Customer Interactions
I worked on the Birds of a Feather project at Lehigh University with some really bright folks. I got involved with the project at the request of Verizon, who wanted to better understand some of the business value that social networking technologies could deliver. One of the projects that I worked on was to create [...]

Product of Collaboration–Motorola Xoom
So far the thing that I have liked the best at the CES show is the Motorola Xoom. It is a tablet device. I gave my wife Karen an iPad for Christmas, and I have definitely been envious of it. I think that the timing for these types of devices is right now. It was [...]
An Embarrassing Start
The start to the CES keynote by Gary Shapiro, the President of CEA was pretty uncomfortable. He started off by a pretty jingoistic launch focused on how America was the world’s best at innovating, because it’s our culture. Then he said it wasn’t our culture and that the Democrats (and our President) were messing things [...]
Mobile Design and Development– Starting from a Solid Foundation
I would recommend Mobile Design and Development to any business that uses internet technology and plans to be around for a while. This book does a good job of laying out the facts to back that up. Brian Fling’s book does an excellent job of laying out the different design elements that need to be [...]
My Top 16 Android Business Apps for the Road
As a sales executive in the technology industry, I spend a fair amount of time out on the road. I have been pretty active in the mobile application space, so people often ask me what apps that I have on my phone. Here are the apps on my home page right now. While I have [...]
