I have been using Wave for the last couple days, mainly for doing project and task planning with our offshore developers. I have also used it just to goof around and generally insult others that are on Wave as well, all in good fun. Here are my thoughts so far: Good: The real time editing […]

Google Wave – Amazing Demo of What’s Coming Next
I use Google tech for just about everything: Google Voice Gmail Docs Search Picasa This demo about Wave, which is not yet released, may be one of the best demos I have ever seen. Wave is a new way to think about not only email, but how you communicate in real time with the rest […]
“Now I’m Just A Manager”
I played tennis on Sunday with a guy that works in the server hardware group over at IBM. We were in between games, and chatting about our respective careers. When I asked him what he did for IBM, he said “I am an engineer by trade, but now I’m just a manager.” This is one […]
I agree
“To be honest,” the president said “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honored by this prize, men and women who’ve inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.”
Talking vs. Doing
I work for a large software company, and the things that go on here on a daily basis take me through a large range of emotions, most of them unpleasant. It’s the first time I have ever worked for a global company with 15,000+ employees, and it has been a tough adjustment to say the […]
Annoying Software Product Demos
One of the my largest pet peeves has to do with software product demos and the lack of attention paid to information I provide ahead of time. I cannot tell you how many demos I sit in on where the sales rep asks me for specific things I want covered ahead of time, and then […]

The movie recounts the events leading up to and following the disastrous landfall of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. I have always been […]
Loyalty
I am not a car guy. I never really have been. I like driving really nice cars, but don’t like paying for them. As a result, I drive a 1995 Honda Accord that I have owned for 15 years, and that has almost 200,000 miles on it. Most of the time, this works in my […]
How one bad experience can change perception
I have been a staunch Macbook Pro and Apple product supporter for the last three or four years, recommending them to everyone I know, and spreading the gospel according to Steve. For the first time that I can remember, I would now hesitate to recommend the new Macbook Pro to those that use large ( […]
Transparent logic
I have been paying a bit of attention to the efforts of the current administration to make the government more open and transparent. Particularly, today I spent a good bit of time on the USA Spending site. I was reading a review of the new IT spending section and decided to check it out. I […]
