Back in 2007 I penned a post that was all about divergence. While convergence remains the rage in many parts, and still is looming, I have felt for three years or so that divergent devices are the key to communications.

This morning I went to Google News and found that they have “changed” the layout of their news page. They’ve made the page “longer” but in doing so have made the page less easy to read. It’s part of an experiment that Google is running and I’ve ended up in it. And I hate it … Read more

The 2009 vintage is showing me just how fine it was as the legendary wine producer of Mas Dumas de Gassac’s second label, Reserve de Gassac Blanc is a stunning blend of juicy, mouth filling Viognier and young, tongue tingling … Read more
A comment from inside Verizon made to me casually recently was that Verizon has really stopped further development and expansion of FIOS. We’ve seen this before with them. Some years back they experimented with WiFi around Manhattan using the phone booths as hotspots. The idea was killed. Now I’m hearing the word about FIOS. Well … Read more
I always enjoyed the writing of Bruce Stewart when he was at O’Reilly and now I’m very happy to see he’s back in the saddle over at IT ToolBox where he penned a short piece about client CounterPath’s new Bria iPhone Edition joining in on the positive acclaim from: Alec Saunders Tom Keating Michael Graves … Read more
