From Note-Taking to Thought Processing Powerhouse Over the years, I’ve written about the evolving landscape of voice, AI, and productivity—from GrandCentral’s unification of telephony before Google took it mainstream, to Truphone’s early global VoIP attempts that dared to untether calling from borders. As I’ve often said, it’s not about just capturing communications—it’s about transforming them … Read more
As of yesterday—July 1, 2025—Meta’s WhatsApp Business platform just turned a page that has ripple effects far beyond a simple pricing chart update. If you blinked, you may have missed the significance. But those of us who’ve been watching how Meta, and really the entire messaging ecosystem, aligns with AI, automation, and the broader communications … Read more
Here’s the thing nobody talks about: Product Managers and CTOs are really designers in disguise. This article nails something profound about the impact that extends far beyond the design discipline.

The past 30 days have delivered some genuinely game-changing developments that I think deserve more attention than they’re getting. Let me walk you through what’s happening and why it … Read more
I’ve been watching people tap away at those futuristic Coke Freestyle machines for years now. They stand there, eyes wide, scrolling through endless combinations, not just choosing a drink, but crafting a personal flavor statement. That’s how I’ve made wine in the past. My idea of what blending various parcels of Grenache and Syrah, with … Read more

When it comes to streaming media, Ken Rutkowski and I were really some of the earliest pioneers and evangelists of streaming media. We not only did it daily, with the World Technology Roundup, but we also evangelized it, started a company that was too early, Plus Media, and were working on the front lines of … Read more
