2:05:52

04.21.2010

Deep into some current client projects, I completely missed Patriots’ Day this past Monday. And so late Monday afternoon, I also realized that I’d missed this year’s running of the Boston Marathon. When I checked on the results, I was blown away by Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot’s winning men’s time 2:05:52 I was aware it was [...]

This song, this place, this moment…

04.20.2010

It’s always music that serves as a constant reminder of who I am, what and why I do what I do. Sure, a beautifully designed and executed website or consumer product, any buildings by the two Franks (Gehry and Lloyd Wright) and Paul Rudolph, the works of Miro, Pollock and Rothko will always stop me [...]

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 [...]
