Terrific Reads, Part 1

By David Dobrin on January 22, 2013

Just finished a year and a half of unblogging.  Had a gig, and oddly enough, what they wanted was exclusive access to my opinions about technology.  So it wouldn’t have been right to broadcast them out to the net, too. Before ramping back up, though I’m going to take a break.  Sit back.  Travel some. […]

A short, sort of review of Nicholas Carr’s “The Shallows. What Google is Doing to our Brains.”

A short, sort of review of Nicholas Carr’s “The Shallows. What Google is Doing to our Brains.”

By Thomas Otter on September 13, 2010

Many technology writers  deify or reify technology.  There is often an assumption that more technology is by definition a good thing.  Nicholas Carr’s recent book challenges that.

On innovation

On innovation

By Thomas Otter on August 29, 2010

(image of Scott Berkun presenting via Chasingfun cc attribution. Thanks!) In this interview on the O’Reilly blog Scott Berkun nails it. How do you define “innovation”? Scott Berkun: I strongly recommend people use this word as little as possible. It’s mostly a distraction. Many great ideas and breakthroughs were achieved without people worrying if they […]

Hi and lo-tech in Pacific Northwest

By Vinnie Mirchandani on August 22, 2010

I took my son, Tommy along on a book trip to the great Northwest and I am so glad I did. It gave me a chance to do some detours I have missed out on since 1990 when my wife and I had been to some of them. Just north of Seattle, we toured the Bo…

The Kno is Not a Tablet.  It’s a Workout Device

The Kno is Not a Tablet. It’s a Workout Device

By Zoli Erdos on August 12, 2010

The gift of a book

By Vinnie Mirchandani on June 25, 2010

I have benefited from generosity of many, many in the research, interviewing, proofing, reviews, now marketing of the book. So, in turn I and others are turning around and giving back in several ways: I have had book drawings at Sapience Cologn…

An author’s hour in heaven

By Vinnie Mirchandani on June 21, 2010

When I started to write the book, a friend of mine wise cracked “All you need is a hairdo like Malcolm Gladwell’s”. You know I would kill for that hair :)But I am just as flattered by this comparison Tom Foydel makes between The New Polymath and Gladwell’s Outlier. Or the one Sadagopan makes with […]
