A couple years ago, I talked with a friend who was a teacher. We put together an idea for a website to help teach. It never made it off the planning stages, but I knew something would eventually come along. It's hailed as the "eBay for teachers". EduFire is a site that has been around for a year and has
I am back in Studio H, the tooth fairy, or someone shipped me a JVC ProHD camera thanks but care to let me know who sent it? Is it time for a clothing sponsor for the show? Lot's of tech news folks and I get you caught up on what has been happening. Nice to be back in the studio
I have just spent a nightmare six weeks at work while we moved a computer lab and two dozen faculty and staff offices within a building. Through a seemingly random series of stops and starts, we have finally landed in our new homes, beaten and battered, but not broken. I have sore knees, sore muscles, and bumps on my head
An article by Joshua Auerbach over at GIGAOM titled "New Media Demands a New Kind of Media Company" obviously attracted my attention. Even before the page loaded my brain was saying, I wonder what of new media company is he going to suggest. As you know I think I run a pretty special "New Kind of Media Company" as I
I played with Google Fastflip this afternoon for about an hour primarily as an experiment to see how many relevant articles I could find for my podcast on a Sunday and was pretty amazed at the variety of articles that I found largely from sources that I do not normally use. I think the folks at Google are on to

I really do hate traveling as I am so spoiled when I am back in the studio in Hawaii. This show I talk a bit about Twitter and trust, do you trust the people you follow? Look forward to the meetup tomorrow night with show fans. Early show again on Thursday evening so join me for the live recording. Ongoing
I don't classify myself as an early adopter, I usually wait until a new technology has been out a while and the price has come down a bit before I jump in. Consequently I rarely find myself ahead of the certification curve. It is more a measure of the length of time that the IEEE certification has taken that I
The iPhone 3GS was released in June. The iPhone included an amped up camera, vastly improved speed, GPS, and firmware 3.0 features made me sigh in jealousy. Unfortunately my carrier doesn't use the iPhone and/or subsidize it so that I can afford it where I was going to live. And so I began looking forward to the 3rd generation Touch. If the 3rd gen product had the new processor, highly rated camera, and improved voice recording then that would force the upgrade. I could blog, podcast, take pictures, capture video, and then upload all from the device. That would be worth putting it into my pocket. Who knew? Maybe Apple was going to throw in GPS and that would be delicious frosting. With those features I would pay a price increase.
Less is more. Less trouble equals more value. Lower learning curve equals increased value. That would be the theory of Microsoft in the recently leaked training notes for their operating system (as covered by www.appleinsider.com). To install Microsoft Windows 7 means that the PC user has less to learn compared to switching to a Mac, making it is more valuable.
Here in Hawaii over the past couple of days a social media war been ongoing. According to a local blog post local Twitter celebrity, Arleen Anderson @alohaarleen with 80,000 followers has had some serious accusations made against her. A war is being waged against her from a lot of well known locals on multiple fronts, and she is fighting back
Not surprisingly Apple dominated the news but not to worry I have a great variety of content tonight for you. My day started early but I am energized by a early morning meeting I had which I will discuss. I should note that I take a few minutes to remember 9-11, please take a few moments out of your day
