Fabulous Cancellera

04.17.2010

How could you not be completely blown away by Fabian Cancellera’s performance at the Paris-Roubaix race last weekend. In a 145 mile ride race, he pulled away from the peleton with slightly under 30 miles to go, and finished a full 2 minutes ahead of second place… and this was after winning the Tour Of [...]

Buzz Aldrin – Moonwalker and Marketing Machine

04.16.2010

I love Buzz! I mean, the guy walked on the moon. He’s one of only 12 people in the history of humankind to achieve that. That’s about as rare as it gets for our species. Immortalized in Toy Story… he’s been on Dancing With The Stars…. ok, maybe that’s not so rare, but it’s great [...]

I hope MSFT Kin make something of these

04.13.2010

I was buried in a project yesterday and didn’t come up for air until late at night, when I realized it was April 12th – the day MSFT was set to reveal their new mobile devices. From the few things I’ve seen so far, it looks like the reviews were written before the products were [...]

iPad – yes, it really is great!

04.06.2010

I’ve had some time to explore the competencies and potential of my iPad, since its delivery on Saturday. For me, at least, it’s already a game or habit changing device. Like any connected person, I’m not at a loss for screens in my life, but iPad has extended my screen time and opened up new opportunities [...]

iPad And The Art Of Massage

03.31.2010

As the days and hours count down to the launch date of Apple’s iPad, there is no end to the forecasts on pre-launch, Q2, and 2010 sales etc. of the device. Speculation aside, there is a palpable excitement and anticipation which finds its precedent only in the June 2007 launch of the iPhone. I’m not [...]

Aol. – do we care at this point

12.07.2009

Aol. starts life as a new public company this Wednesday. Not as the once all conquering AOL, but as the newly re-branded, seemingly apologetic Aol. As it departs from the Time Warner stable, I can imagine the TW sentiment is somewhere on the harsh side of “good riddance to bad rubbish”. It would be impossible [...]

Why Comcast/NBCU will put one in the media merger success column

12.04.2009

Lots of blogging about the lackluster track record of media mergers in the wake of the official announcement of the Comcast/NBC Universal deal. My POV differs from that of Michael Wolff’s assessment on Newser, although I’ve ordered The Curse Of The Mogul cited in his blog. This is a merger that will work, and will redefine [...]

11:00:13 – Ironman Florida

11.11.2009

This past Saturday, I competed in the Ironman Florida event in Panama City.
It was my second IM distance race (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, 26.2 mile run). I managed to set a new PR of 11:00:13 and knocked 20 minutes off my time at an IM distance from October 2008. Overall, I was pleased [...]

The Joe Bonness Effect

10.08.2009

Ironman events are somewhat unique in sports. You get to share the starting line with, and compete against the best triathletes in the world. Imagine tipping off against LeBron James, being on the Vikings offensive line with Brett Favre, or feeding a breakaway pass to Sidney Crosby. You get the idea.
This Saturday, in Kona, where the Ironman [...]

Mining the archives – Audio

10.07.2009

A couple of years ago I spent some time digitizing some of my production work. Most of it is on a mix of source formats, 1/4 inch analog tape, DAT, CD, and even a few reference copies on cassette. For anyone who has undertaken format conversion, I feel your pain. While ultimately rewarding, it’s a time [...]
