While I was presenting my Web 2.0 seminar in Rome this week, I had a chance to review and edit the V53 Web 2.0 materials that I recently uploaded — as well as adding some new material based on the June 9, 2008 Apple presentation about its new i

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve updated my Web 2.0 materials; but I’m presenting a two-day Web 2.0 seminar in Rome next week, so I thought it was time to bring things up to date. I’ve actually been keeping a list of ne

Almost exactly a month ago, I blogged about “blogging vs. micro-blogging“. I now have a couple more pieces of data, which I think confirm the points I made in that first blog.
During the past month, I’ve written approximately 450 sh
Palm as just released their much anticipated - and leaked - Treo Pro, a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional device with a touchscreen and UMTS/HSDPA GSM networking. The phone also includes G.P.S. and improved WiFi handling for better and easier WiFi hand-off.
The new Treo is thinner than devices like the 800w and is targeted at the mobile professional market and is not an “iPhone-killer.” Instead it is part of a conscious strategy by Palm to release a series of “great” produ
Good morning everybody!
This is Dave coming to you from Salt Lake City, UT.
I'm on my Summer 2008 road trip. Started yesterday at 4AM, and got me into SLC at about 4PM.
Stops include Laramie, WY; Boulder CO and on to Denver on Sunday for the Democratic National Convention. Then four days of watching, listening, talking, and thinking and then back on the road to do it all again!
I tried to set up a LAN in my car, to no avail. There isn't much Sprint EVDO on the road between Reno and Salt Lake.

My colleague, Paul, got lots of… let’s call it, “feedback” regarding his post on the impending demise of the standalone Business Rule Engine (BRE) Market. It seems there are lots of folks out there who feel quite passionate about the subject, so I thought I would continue, albeit from a different angle and relate it back to the CEP and BusinessEvents for comparison.
So… taking my cue from David Letterman and with a tip o’ the hat to Paul, here are the:

I've been into computers since I was 4 years old. I went to an esteemed (so they tell me) computer science school, or at least that's what they tell me. I've worked for every kind of software shop: the Big 6 (now 4) consultancies, a couple of startups, and even 'the Big O' (yes, Oracle). So I thought I was familiar with most techniques, theories and approaches to software development. Well, it seems I missed one.About 8 weeks ago Deepak Alur, JackBe's ever-vigilant VP of Development, sent me

Yesterday was the final day of UX Week 2008, and our final speaker was Bruce Sterling. Though I’d heard of Bruce during the rise of cyberpunk, I was never all that aware of him until I attended South by Southwest Interactive in 1999. He was a legendary presence at the event, both providing the final thoughts to the attendees, and hosting a rocking party at his house.
I had the fortune of Bruce speaking at another event of mine, IDEA 2006, where he did a remarkable job of summarizing the pr

I received an email in my Inbox today to say that Twitter had killed off inbound SMS updates to the UK.The whole raison d’etre for my subscribing to and using Twitter was to get real-time updates. If I have to login to a Twitter app then what’s the point ? It’s no better, and actually worse than reading RSS. The guys at Twitter twitter on about it being costly, yada yada yada. Well they knew this when they started the service. The challenge for their exec team was to
Dion Hinchcliffe recently provide a comprehensive overview of the status of cloud computing for the enterprise in his post, Enterprise cloud computing gathers steam. It is a good article for spinning your knowledge up on what this trend means today.
He starts with the comment, ???The days when organizations carefully cultivated vast data centers consisting of an endless sea of hardware and software are not over, at least not yet. However, the groundwork for their eventual transformation and dow
Brendan Eich compared me to Yoda, and then to Gandalf. More recently, Mark Miller compared me to Henry Fonda because the meetings of the TC39 (the group that maintains the ECMAScript standard) played a lot like a prison theater production of 12 Angry Men.
Today our puppy discovered the pink toy-bone that originally came with the third generation of the Sony Aibo robotic dog: Sadly, the Aibo was canceled by Soiny in March 2006, but Fenway, our puppy, took possession and repurposed the pink Aibo toy-bone as a new chew-toy. It should be noted that the pink bone didn't last long. It's been proved once again: nature rules over robotics...
