NPR says the Phonebook’s Days are Numbered. Do you?
Amy Standen reported on NPR that the phonebook is long past its designed use and consumers (all of us) don’t want them. I tend to agree with this as more and more Americans become so dependent on their mobile devices. What do you think? Amy’s report – In the U.S., we produce 804,000 tons of [...]
Fascinating Video – What’s coming to our world in 2010?

My Life is Digital, Deal with It
Okay, I didn’t mean that as harsh as it sounded. But my life is digital. My family knows that. My friends know that. Most everything I do in my professional and personal life is captured in some way on some media platform. I tweet my work. I tweet about meetings. I tweet about clients. I blog [...]

The Open Source Experiment is Over
We have run the course, given open source a fair shake and have come to the conclusion that we cannot resolve ourselves to an alternative solution. Microsoft Office wins. We (JASE) made a very serious effort to migrate away from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice.org. We wanted it to work but open source didn’t take care of us [...]
