The Media Server of my Dreams
February 6, 2013
I have a media server and I generally like it. What I don’t like is how complicated and time consuming it is get the content backed up and how difficult it is for me to access my content on all of my devices. As with anything that annoys me, I’ve decided how I’d do it differently if it were my product. The following is my vision for a media server that I would happily buy. My hope is that someone with the ability to make this vision become reality will read this and get inspired…

Childrens Reward Program
March 9, 2013
Several years ago I started a very interesting project with a friend. He came to me with a great product idea he called “NagNot” (don’t nag me). Based on sound research we developed out the creative and logic for the initial release of the product (you can see it here if you wish http://www.behance.net/gallery/NagNot-iPhone-application/7290465). Unfortunately, life got in the way, the team got busy, more children arrived and we ended up putting the project on hold – indefinitely.
The reason I was so interested in the concept was because at the time I had one little boy. I now stil...

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...

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...

5 UX Factors Critical to Delivering User Delight
September 10, 2013
Creating a great experience is hard work. When you consider the research, design, validation and execution, it’s no wonder most organizations struggle. Luckily, great technology companies are starting to recognize the value of UX. Apple has shown us that if you design something well, user engagement – and ultimately profitability – will soon follow. (Thank you Apple.)
Although it’s hard to nail the UX, it’s extremely rewarding when you get it right. Here are five UX factors critical to delivering user delight.
Factor #1 – Solve Real Problems

Nike+ on my Bike
January 19, 2013
I was once a very good cyclist. Since that time I started a career and had 2 kids (with my 3rd days or hours away). Now I’m a very bad cyclist, but I still very much enjoy the sport. I recently managed to get myself out on my road bike after neglecting her for at least 2 years. She’s a very beautiful machine that’s outfitted with a very fancy computer. A fancy computer that I forget how to use it after about 4 months of neglect. Once I remember how to use it however, it’s a neat little device.

About a year ago somebody asked me my philosophy regarding build vs buy. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about it’s the concept of building out product functionality – or integrating existing products. Generally as designers...

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.

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.
