Great notes from Michael this afternoon. I actually talked with Michael on the phone today. It was great to have a voice to go with the posts. We share very similar interests in technology and collaboration software. I hope I have the opportunity to chat more with him (at least via e-mail) I recommend the…

From the Telework Times today: I think the remote McDonalds has got to be the strangest one of these tidbits. And it is interesting that in Washinton D.C. they have to reduce the number of teleworkers. I guess too many people were trying to claim what ever tax bonus available. Revision to Criteria Reduces Number…

Could this be a pivotal breakthrough for Groove? One of my biggest problems with Groove is the duplication of the inbox. When I was on Groove I had my Lotus Notes mailbox and my Groove mailbox. Unfortunately not everyone was on Groove, so sending messages through it were pretty pointless. But even if everyone is…

This service sounds good, but at $300/month/location, it sounds steep for most small businesses. Maybe a larger business could afford this, but when I look at systems like ASAP, even Yahoo and MSN's IM clients, I don't really see the benefit.

First post on the new View from the Isle location!

I have certainly found this to be completely true. And it's not just Google, but all the search engines. Ironically my first big traffic boost and Google attention was about the iPod as well. Now has all this spidering helped my traffic, not really, but that's okay. In my mind, my stats are a proof…

David Hornik has a very interesting opinion piece on C|Net today that should come as almost no surprise to anyone who blogs. Even though I haven't been blogging long, I've already figured out that many blogs (and social networks) are about passion. People (myself included) are passionate about blogs and blogging and passionate people like…

Okay beyond the “Is it too late to apply for the fall semester” jokes, I think this is as important as computers, then laptops becoming deriguer on campus. I like the fact that Duke is giving them to the students, not requiring them to buy them. I was looking at Apple's site yesterday to read…
