Design is so Underrated in Tech
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Here’s an Apple iMac vs. typical Dell desktop computer.
I had some friends over the other day. He was amazed at the lack of cabling at my iMac in the family room. I actually “added” a network cable because I wanted full-speed, 100 Mbps data transfers inside the [...]
Social Experiment in Branding
Brand is more than a logo. And the new web application BrandTags.net shows this. Brand is what’s in someone’s head based on their interaction with the company / product. It can be generic, specific, good, or bad. Marketers influence this through advertising, packaging, voice greetings, logo, color, athletes, price, and more. What people ultimately associate, [...]
Mac Owners are Snobs…so says Mindset Media

Installed the New Microsoft Office 2008
Playing tonight with the new Microsoft Office for Mac. Office is pretty critical for me to interact with clients I consult with. I may be able to adapt to Pages, Numbers, and Keynote; however, my clients feel better when I don’t have to make excuses for using a Mac.
Microsoft Office has been the LAST of [...]

Ars Technica offers some great insight, including this market share quote from Gartner and [...]
Video Cruncher
Excited to start throwing video at this bad boy!
Screen Sharing is Cool
I found that I can login to my Mac Pro and drive video product from my laptop — all while I lie comfortably in bed. I’m not sure if this is a Leopard feature or something that I’ve probably never tried.
Sometimes, Blogs Reminds Me Why
I had to re-read my blog post on the iPhone. I had to remember why I took the phone back.

Don’t GIVE UP on Vista
Vista is the first operating system from Microsoft since Windows 98 that I did not use "before" it was officially released. To be honest, I’m feeling a little lost and not sure what I’m missing. I just might have to install it somewhere to play and experience it for myself.
In the mean time, the alternatives [...]
Bono, a Marketing Genius
First Steve Jobs and a U2 branded iPod loaded with the U2 collection. Now iLike and Amazon.com.
This time burning hot iLike (Bono is an investor through Elevation Partners) gets to present U2’s product to hundreds of thousands of listeners / watchers before it’s available. U2’s new Wave of Sorrow isn’t on the radio. It’s on [...]
