Century +1

For the 101 post on SOTB I have to get on the BP band-wagon that Mister Zero started.  While everyone knows this oil spill totally sucks here’s a couple facts that you may not know: 1) The oil-well if left unchecked would stop flowing in 7 years 2) There are over 3,500 oil & gas wells in [ READ MORE ]

Speaking of broken links…

Mr. Hero had a great post on Friday about broken links. I’m surfing around seeing if I can extend my very cool Squeezebox Duet that I installed on my home stereo a week ago.  While the remote has an audio jack on it that should do what I need, I can’t listen to the audio [ READ MORE ]

Jack me even more

Finally get some connectivity today, only to find out that the ‘download once and transfer anywhere’ doesn’t apply to other computers so even if I had connectivity yesterday 30,000 ft up, I would have been SOL because I downloaded this rental on my other computer. The ‘transfer anywhere’ only applies to other iDevices: iPod, iPhone, Apple [ READ MORE ]

Will it blend – Ipad

Not sure about Mister Zero, but I’m not totally psyched about the Ipad (I would tell you why but who cares). What is totally awesome is the “Will it Blend” video from Blendtec demolishing an Ipad.  This is some of the best viral marketing ever.  They just throw all sorts of stuff into these high-power [ READ MORE ]

3D – I’ll bring over my glasses

3D continues to be a hot topic on SOTB.  Why? Because it has all the right ingredients to be totally stuck. Until 3DTV’s don’t need glasses it’s just too much of a hassle to have your friends and family over. Here’s a great quote from the NY Times The glasses go for a premium — around $150 [ READ MORE ]

Stuck in 30F

This is the 2nd flight that I’ve been on where GoGoInflight is given me the shaft. 1st time, it wasn’t exactly their fault, but showed how difficult it is to offer a direct to consumer product in a physical ecosystem that you can’t control.  The poor woman was standing in from of a cross continental JFK [ READ MORE ]

Getting in your own way — so frustrating.

This is *extremely* frustrating.  Our FiOS router has been booting our wireless devices off of the network periodically for the past couple of weeks.  Turns out, the router was configured to only allow 5 wireless devices at a time, so as an iTouch came in and out of the network it was kicking the last [ READ MORE ]

‘Power of Print’ :: Stuck for not the obvious reasons

OH man, This is a real bummer. Last week, the Magazine industry launched a $90M (That’s right, NINETY MIL) ad campaign called the ‘Power of Print’ and unfortunately, it seems like they are setting themselves up to get stuck.  Most readers on the web say that magazines are dying, it’s over , etc. and you [ READ MORE ]

Do you know Hyperion?

I was chatting with a prospective client recently about a potential engagement.  We were talking about a project and what was going well and what wasn’t.  We talked about approach and how to solve the big hairy issues and the process of making tough decisions to launch this thing on-time and on-budget.  Sounds good up [ READ MORE ]

Stuck with a Capital ‘F’

I’m not even sure this is fair, its such a layup, but talk about stuck. What the heck is going on over there at NBC ? I mean, what a cluster — and just mistake after course correcting mistake.  It seems that NBC has taken a great brand (The Tonight Show), some great talent and managed [ READ MORE ]
