  • Back from Boston

    Well that was quick.  The show I went up to Boston for went by like a flash.  The one thing I really noticed this year was that the conversion is now complete: rather than selling, we are being sold.  Rather than being the most interesting vendors there, we are the most interesting buyers.  Of course,…

  • On my way to Boston

    Sitting on the plane now, so just a quick post from my Blackberry before they close the boarding door. I’m on my way up to Boston for a PLM industry analyst’s show. It’s usually an interesting show becuase the lead analyst (and owner of the firm) has some odd power over all the CEOs of…

  • Another add to my gadget bag

    I just picked up a Logitech Logitech® Cordless Presenter and added it to my gadget bag. It’s a little larger than I thought it would be, but I was looking for a bluetooth mouse for my HP TC1100 and I also needed a wireless presentation system. This is all of that and more, with an…

  • Another MM plugin for Project Management

    I am currently trialing a JCV Gantt Pro which in addition to being a great ink enabled project management tool (in fact I think it is the only ink enabled project management tool) it has great integration with Mind Manager.  In the past 4 months Mind Manager has moved to the front and center position…

  • Seth's Blog: Flipping the Funnel–new ebook

    Seth’s Blog: Flipping the Funnel–new ebook I’m not sure how I missed this when it first came out, but Seth Godin has put together a great piece on enabling your sales team to become evangelists for your products. THe thing I really like about it is that it goes back to first principles from the…

  • Geoff Moore on the future of IT: Transaction to Interaction

    Dealing_with_Darwin: Dateline Davos: The Future of the Technology Sector This is another interesting post from Geoff Moore’s blog with some of his observations from his time in Davos. I think the three items in his model are interesting, but I find the 3rd one most compelling: the move from IT being used for transactions to…

  • Posts may be slow the next few days

    I am off today for a 3 day leadership development class.  We have to turn in all electronics at the door, so the posts may be slow in coming the next few days.  I’ll try to catch up on things at night as I can. One thing that someone out there may be able to…

  • I love winning free stuff!

    I am a regular listener to the OnTheRun with Tablet PCs Podcast. It is one of the 25 feeds I am subscribed to in my podcatcher and it is often one of the first podcasts I listen to every Monday on the way in to work. The combination of software reviews, hardware reviews and personal…

  • Upgraded to WP 2.0

    Well I took the plunge over the weekend and upgraded to Word Press 2.0 (2.01 to be exact ;-).  The main changes I have noticed already are the WYSIWYG post editing, out of the box controls for formatting (rather than having to add plugins) and a direct interface to post pictures from the write screen. …
