Another great road show, bandwidth has been a plenty and big thumbs up to the Marriott Towne Place Suites. Lot's of tech to talk about and I have a big challenge for someone that want's to build me a LivePack! All I can say is the folks behind this just do not get it. Ongoing support by these fine sponsors
Ars Technica reported that in a secret bunker somewhere below the depths of Redmond, versions of Windows 8 and 9 are being planned. The big technology advance with them? 128 bit versions. Interesting, especially since we've been so slow on getting to 64 bit software. Windows 7 will be shipped in 32 and 64 bit versions, but how many people
The rumour machine is abuzz with the prospect of Apple releasing a tablet, and there are a number of other people, most notably TechCrunch and Archos, have tablet systems either out or on the planning desk. It will be interesting to see if anyone can finally make one that is worth owning. The first tablet PC I had used was
Whenever I want to feel fearful and depressed I usually visit one of the news websites. Earthquakes, murder, war, theft, snoops, kidnappers, recession, depression, corruption, and all other sorts of horrible news. When I read the news sites I'm reminded of how unsafe the world is.

One of my better road shows in a while hope you agree. My combat nap that I took once arriving in DC on the Red Eye really helped. Lots of ground covered in this show.

Our department was presented with this video yesterday during a strategic planning session. I found some of the statistics fascinating, and thought some others would too. I've been using the "Internet" for more than 20 years, and I've seen a lot of changes, but to see it presented this way is really startling. Hope you enjoy.

Next stop Washington DC and the start of nearly a month of the show on the road. Crazy busy here getting ready to head out and know that time here in Honolulu will be severely limited but I have clients that I have to work with in person. Ongoing support by these fine sponsors keep the lights on your support
Recently my wife and I moved away from our home in the United States to do some humanitarian work in a developing country. Our internet connection is fairly consistent, though sometimes incredibly sluggish (usually around 256k both ways). In a previous post I wrote about the purchase of Majic Jack. The television sales unit that assigns a United States number
Many people are still very simple in their use of the internet. They check email and a handful of websites on a regular basis. They are not users who follow large numbers of RSS feeds or use an RSS reader. For those people let me give you an option that I have used on occasion. I follow maybe six or
