Innovation is a Team Sport Podcast: Alan Walker, Siemens
This is one of a few podcasts that John was able to capture at PLM Europe Last week. They are all from a track session focused on how the JT Open community (that we are active members of) helps end user and vendor members drive more innovation into their products. Alan Walker from Siemens Power…

One thing I've got to hand it to Google on
They always do great mobile versions of their products. The mobile version of gmail is great (used it exclusively when I was in Europe last week) and it the mobile version of reader looks to be no different. I am still leaning towards Newsgator as my primary reader, but the lack of a viable mobile…

Good fall weekend
We had a party at our place last night. Had about 9 adults and 11 kids over for some fall fun. We had a hay ride, a bind fire and a ‘drive in’ movie on our back porch (I borrowed a projector from work and setup a simple screen with a bed sheet). It was…

A cool app from UGS that I can explain to my Mom in 2 minutes
I just got done with a presentation at our user conference on one of our newest technologies: Geolus Search. We got ahold of this from sd&m this past summer and have made a number of enhancements since then. It occurred to me that we created a lot of videos for my presentation and I should…

There is at least one Sun in Second Life
I guess it was only a matter of time. The audience and the cost savings is just too big to keep companies from using Second Life as a communication platform. A press conference and a trade show seem like naturals for Second Life. Wonder what you could do in WOW? BetaNews | Sun Takes Press…
