Can Technology Make Working-from-Home Work?
June 10, 2013
Since Marissa Mayer took over Yahoo, I’ve heard a lot of discussion and debate about the concept of working from home. I have a lot experience on both sides, and can confidently say that I whole heartedly agree with her decision. There’s no question that people are more effective at work, surrounded by team members. In my experience, exceptions are rare.
To paint an “ideal” picture of a working environment I have to take a page out of Steve’s book. When Apple built their campus, they specifically designed it to encourage random, unlikely conversations. Brilliant. It’s well known t...

The Reinvention of Chapters

A few days ago my wife said “Chapters should open up a home store”. My response was, “why, yes they should”. That said, if it were me, I’d do it differently…

Universal Exercise Interface
February 27, 2013
Current exercise machines are dumb. Not that I’m complaining, I simply feel that it’s time for them to evolve.
I recently purchased a Water Rower rowing machine and I’m happily rowing every morning. My frustration with it comes from the fact that I can’t share my workout via Facebook or Twitter and I have no idea how far I’ve rowed this year, how I’m trending and how I compare to Olympians.
Because of this frustration I started thinking about a better way. My opinion is that all exercise machines should continue to have fancy displays that tell you how far you’re go...

Why doesn't Facebook eat LinkedIn?
March 20, 2013
A few months ago a smart gentleman from Facebook came to speak to our Sr. Management team. It was a great talk that I very much appreciated. During this time I pointedly asked him the question “why doesn’t Facebook make a play for LinkedIn?”. His answer to me was that if Facebook does something, they do it right, and it doesn’t make sense for them today. I was honestly a little surprised by his answer. I was expecting something closer to a dodge but with his answer, it’s obvious to me that the discussions are happening at Facebook.

Image Meta Data
February 21, 2013
Pinterest is a great tool. I admit, I don’t use it very much but I don’t have to use it to recognize the potential. I believe, to take tools like Pinterest and Facebook to a completely new level images need to be self aware. Imagine if that picture of a dress knows what it is. To do this it needs to know it’s SKU (Stock Keeping Unit - such as a UPC)
Once an image knows it’s SKU, we can do all sorts of wonderful things. We can figure out who makes the product and get pricing information in real time. Amazing. Better yet, I can click on that image and using some fancy utility I can...

A Better Advent Calendar
March 16, 2013
This past Christmas my wife and I were suckered into buying those $40-50 Lego advent calendars. The idea is amazing. Every day the kids get a special treat that won’t rot their teeth! Problem is that the kids got bored about half way through December. Every day was just another little toy that they won’t play with because they really weren’t that much fun. It felt a lot like those toys you get at McDonald’s in a Happy Meal. They look fun but they’re really pretty useless.
My advice to Lego is to keep kids eyes on a goal and keep them engaged. I know the themes were Star Wars and L...

The Inevitable Success of the iWatch
March 26, 2013
When the iWatch comes out I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy one. I’m sure I’ll buy one if it looks anything like the image above. This a lot more than I can say about most technology that I’m introduced to.
One of the reasons I feel that I’ll purchase the iWatch is because, In a way, I’ve actually owned one before. It was an iPod Nano with a watchband, and it was a great little product. It had some flaws such as you couldn’t always see the time there was no GPS, but I liked it.
Recently I was reading an article that described the billions of dollars that Apple would ad...

The Future of Shopping for Clothing
June 27, 2012
Here’s an idea that I’ve had for a number of years, but as with many of my ideas, I’m realizing that I’m not going to act on them so I may as well open them up for others to critique.
I remember first starting to think about this about 10 years ago. Seriously. It’s been that long. It was about 5 BK (before kids) and I had a lot of time on my hands. The reason I remember the origins of the idea so well is because the root of the concept continues to amaze me. My wife, who is not a video game lady by any stretch started to play a little game called The Sims on her computer. I rememb...
