iphone 4

Now that it’s the summer it seems that your friends at SOTB have had a lackadaisical approach lately with keeping up with posts. Sorry about that. So the iphone 4? Yes that’s a question because as an iphone 3GS owner I just don’t care.  What I mean is, the iphone 4 doesn’t move the needle in [ READ MORE ]

Star Wars + Adidas + World Cup = Awesome

This is an awesome cross pollinated video that is just killer. (While I’m sure it’s the Star Wars Adidas line that makes it possible in the first place, it actually seems slightly cooler). The passion and insanity that the World Cup brings to everything is unparalleled. It’s going to be an awesome month, with lots of things [ READ MORE ]

Can’t listen to the news without getting pissed off.

I have been taking it from all sides, knee and elbow pad style of late (hence the lack of posts), but I do manage to catch snippets of NPR each morning and all I can say is that I can’t stand it. I can’t believe what an incredible $hit $h*w British Petroleum is putting on [ READ MORE ]

Voice and Coca-Cola

Another milestone quietly passed us by last week to quiet fanfare.  Not surprisingly, data is now used more on mobile phones than voice. Now that we’ve finally crossed this inevitable chasm, the question is: “What has voice become?” I can only come up with one sound conclusion. Voice is now a feature like SMS (but [ READ MORE ]

Love when a big name follows up

Back in February, Mr. Hero had a very good post about Google being a one trick pony and how that just didn’t make good business sense.  Well, lookie here — who else jumped on that bandwagon of rock solid logic? None other than Yahoo’s Chief Carol Bartz, citing that “Google is going to have a problem [ 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 ]

Come Again, how much ?

Reading the local news paper (the really local news paper — you know what I’m talking about) and was reading the article about the school budget and what steps were being taken to reduce this fiscal year’s budget. One bullet that struck me was that installing a new phone system was going to save $60,000.  Let [ 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 ]

Oh wait, that’s exactly what I don’t have with me

More on this later, but I’m watching the Grammy’s tribute to Michael Jackson and guess what is exactly what I don’t have handy. 3-D Glasses. Stuck. [ READ MORE ]

Just caught up with an epic show

Just caught up with the last ‘Tonight Show’ on Tivo earlier in the week.  What a mistake is going on here. CoCo I thought was very gracious, acknowledging that NBC had been his home for most of his adult life (read — provided the opportunities for him to become Conan O’Brien). The highlight reel from the [ READ MORE ]
