This is my son Kaden as he’s playing in the dog water last summer on the patio behind my house.  (He’s smiling because he knows he’s not supposed to play in the dog water.) Kaden is now two and a half years old and knows that with Daddy’s help, he can find all of his [...]

Chasing Change – Entreprenuers and The New Web

Right now, I have about 30 subscribers and I’m grateful for every one of you. In the grand scheme of things, Chasing Change is not a widely read blog just yet – and that’s OK. Truth be told, it’s taken me some time to figure out what my niche really is. So here’s my niche. [...]

Microsoft’s 2019 Future Vision Montage

Chris Brogan posted a link to this video on his blog today. Even when I’m busy, I always take a few minutes to watch these kind of forward thinking clips. Some of the technology I’ve seen clips and demos of at events, but some is new to me as well. It’s worth posting here for [...]

Some Start-up’s Die

It’s a shame that it had to end this way, but all start-ups are not created equal.

Twitter: Making Conversation in 140 Charecters or Less

Micro blogging has gained so much traction in 2008 among hipsters, techies and even business professionals. For anyone unfamiliar with the concept, Wikipedia defines micro blogging as this: Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually 140 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or [...]

A Short Follow Up on SlideRocket
