MSFT and Yahoo - A OK

I wrote this a while ago - but blogger randomly shut down. So - very quickly - I am happy about the MSFT and Yahoo partnership. I've always had a soft place in my heart for Yahoo...from the first commercial...do you "Yahooooooooooooooooooooo." I actually would like to see those again...mabye it should be - "are you read to BING....." with a big bong sound at the end.

No - really. I don't love Google. It is probably a personal reason - actually I know it is a personal reason but I've just never been a fan. And, we do live in the USA - so why not have some healthy competition...

I look forward to watching the motion...and commotion the next few months.

I Got an iPhone and I love it

I got an iPhone on Monday and I just downloaded some apps and I am learning how to use it. Ok - it is a lot of fun. I am so excited about this product. I've been working in the mobile space for so long now - it was about time for me to get this toy.

While - it is my phone - I think of it more like a personal computer on my body. And, yes - it is a toy.

Back from Vacation: Wi-Fi Observation


I was just on vacation for the past two weeks and it was amazing...I went to the British Virgin Islands and sailed with friends on a 38 foot Lagoon. The Caribbean Sea was gorgeous, the sands majestic and the people warm.

While I was on vacation - I still have technology observations - lots of open, free Wi-Fi Networks.

I live in San Francisco where it is fairly difficult to find an open network. Yet, I go to the BVI and I had Wi-Fi everywhere...

Yes, I am addicted to my Wi-Fi. We live in a world where we can live, work anywhere. And, I love that. When will we get more open, hotspots in SF? Where is my municipal Wi-Fi?

My Wi-Fi thoughts today...
