I know this may seem like a big uh-duh for many… but I went through the trouble of multiple iPod syncs and trial and error to find a set of NY MTA subway maps that fit on an iPod Touch AND remain legible, and I thought I’d share them with you.Apple has this annoying habit […]

The good news is that I’ve been very busy at work these days.  Good news for consumers because there are lots of great projects underway that we’re busting our butts to get out this year.  The bad news, not much mindshare for the blog these days.  While the economy is quiet, and distracted with political […]

I finally updated my comment spam filter.  So, this means I can, and have relaxed the comment moderation scheme I was using.  Sorry to those commentors who’ve had to wait sometime a few days for me to sort through the crud.

Today I attended the memorial service for my Great Uncle Charles, who passed away earlier this month. Tio Carlos, as he was called by my family in recent years, is pictured as a boy with his two sisters Mary and Agnes to the right. The eldest Mary, my grandmother, stands behind him, […]

It begins for me on Saturday, Jan 5th.  Some pre-meetings and strategy dinners, rep-training session, and preparation for press events and customer meetings.  Then come Monday, meetings, meetings, meetings.  This is Avnera’s third visit to CES, and again, we will be showing our partners, customers, and other interested parties what we’ve accomplished in the last […]

I moved Alive Matters to a personally hosted domain.  I no longer use or maintain the old “free-hosted” site.
I am sure you’ll find some bugs in my archives that are a result of the database export & import process required to move from wordpress.com to my new home. I’m also not sure how long Google […]

HONG KONG — So for those who can put 2 and 2 and 4 together, it may not come as a suprise that I work for a company called Avnera. I’ve not mentioned it before since we’ve been in “stealth” mode, which has its advantages, no doubt. But it’s also a good thing […]

Technology Review published their TR35 for 2007. One of the cats, Tariq Krim founded Netvibes. I love it. Clearly I am late to the game on this one, but better late than never I say, plus, if I had come across it before it’s current mature state, I probably would have cast […]

I so feel these…

Reading Hugh’s cartoons is like browsing a menu of items to find consonance with the day’s mind’s corners. This is an enjoyable catharsis I’ve lost myself in now half a dozen times. On this occasion I figured I’d blog the ones that hit home on this day. Cheers.

I’m in Narita airport on a layover to Singapore.  I slept about 8 hours on my flight here from DC, so I am only moderately loopy at this point.
Happy to report at least the area here shows no ill effects from what was otherwise a serious rattle.  Brings to mind a great Murakami collection, After […]
