TweetLately I’ve been finding many occasions where I wish I had a TiVo for my life. Getting a call in the car while my favorite song is on. Wanting to go back to what my wife said earlier in the day to prove I did tell her that I had planned to nap in the …

Why Digital Matters
TweetWhy does digital matter? I can download a song on iTunes or go pick up a CD at the local Best Buy. It all ends up as music in my headphones. It matters for the same reason that we’re in a major world-wide financial crisis right now–cash flow. Businesses don’t go bankrupt because they’re not …
Things with a Memory
TweetI heard an interesting story on NPR this week about a man who’d lost his dog-tags in 1951, and a young couple recently found and returned them to him.

A Digital World Awaits
TweetEverywhere we look, the processes and products that make up our lives are being turned digital. The general medias that transfer information are slowly being absorbed by the digital mass called the internet. The seemingly ubiqutious iPhone has opened up markets for products that didn’t exist a year ago. Fast foward to the middle of the …
