Is RFID the Next Big Thing {let's hope so}
“When predicting technology trends, Bill Buxton, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and author of Sketching User Experiences may have said it best: “If history is any indication, we should assume that any technology that is going to have a significant impact over the next 10 years is already 10 years old!” This theory holds true for several technologies.

Two Domains, One Google Apps
Since almost the beginning, Google Apps has worked like this:
Every account has one domain name (let’s call it yourdomain.com) that users use to log into their mail/calendars/etc, which Google calls the primary domain name. You set this up when creating your Google Apps account, and for all intents and purposes it can never be changed.
Accounts can also have one or more domain aliases....
theBestTypeOfAdvertising
Enjoying one of the finer dining destinations in Midland, TX (not saying a ton understandably), I’ve noticed that dessert marketing is comparable to building enterprise software. Here at the Italian Village, the most popular dessert by far is the bananas foster; and the delicious banana/ice cream combo is great, however the fact that it’s made at the table draws unrivaled attention to...

Product Review: Rocketfish Component Cable System
With my new setup at the office and while I’m developing iPhone and iPad applications, I’ve been trying out the Rocketfish Component Cable System (pictured). It’s been a great solution for me since I have an odd setup with a MacBook Pro, secondary monitor, iPhone 4, iPad 2 and Panasonic (non VGA) monitor. The Rocketfish system doesn’t do everything I’d like for it...
Why Most Startups Fail
Going through my 2000th tech news article of the day (barely exaggerating), it seems like I can’t go more than a few minutes before I hear about another startup hitting the deadpool (going out of business). And when you see this happen as much as I have, there always seems to be one common similarity: these broken startups weren’t started by technical founders.

Being Agile in the Oil Field
Having worked with a number of ‘agile’ companies in the past that utilized a Scrum product building framework for software development, I came to the West Texas oil fields assuming that I was going to bring a new advancement in the company’s communication methodology - but I was dead wrong.
