The iPhone Gaming Adapter
February 11, 2013
I wonder why Apple doesn’t work with somebody (maybe Belkin?!) to make a serious gaming play to knock the wind out of Nintendo and Sony. Maybe even cripple them. If my son could use my iPhone paired with some super sexy gaming add-on, why would I pay $200 for a DS (OK, maybe because of the blasted Super Mario!!!).
iPad and iPhone games are great, but any games I’ve played that require on screen thumb-sticks result in a horrible experience. I believe that if Apple is going to take gaming to the next level, they’re going to need to introduce some new hardware.

Death to Useless Agile Lingo
April 5, 2012
Don’t be impressed with the agile lingo, it’s useless and just adds to the confusion early on. You don’t need to sound smart and drop words to impress your team. The team will have much more respect for you if you can explain what you want to do in a language they can understand. To successfully adopt the agile methodology does your team need to know what a scrum is? What about a sprint? No, but they do need to understand the concepts. Imagine introducing agile to your team like this…
“Hey team. Nice to see you again. We’re going to have a quick meeting every morning for a few min...

Professional Ratings

If I was Linked In, I’d be focused on more on people differentiation. I’m pretty certain that there are a lot of people out there who don’t really deserve recommendations who are still getting them. In my book there are two types of people; people who I’d partner with, and people who I wouldn’t. If I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving you 50% of a business where you and I have the best skills to make it succeed, then I should probably keep looking for the right person.
I was recently speaking to a smart person who told me his view on differentiation. You’ve got your 6’s and your 9’...

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

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...

Can You "See" Agile Working?
June 14, 2013
When it comes to messing around with your teams effectiveness, there’s no replacement for experience and common sense. Please don’t jump in head first because you’ve read an article that sounded hip and trendy or a colleague says it’s “really great”. Make sure that you’re absolutely ready to take the step from theory to practice. Take baby steps, collaborate thoroughly with your team and be smart about introducing any new concepts. Most importantly, you can’t read your way into agile. Theory is great, but as any machinist will tell you, making it “real” is an entirely different game. Make sure...

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...
