Well, its been a busy month both professionally and personally. After much research and due diligence, we’ve moved EvolvePoint to Blacksburg, Virginia from Alexandria, Virginia. EvolvePoint is now a part of the VT KnowledgeWorks program, a technology business accelerator and incubator located in the Virgina Tech Corporate Research Center (CRC). There are numerous reasons for […]
Unusual and annoying new blog spam
I’m not sure I understand the point of this new (to me at least) form of blog spam I’m seeing on my sites. I have numerous comments on my posts by anonymous users with non-spammy wording and no URL at all. An example of this can be seen in the comments on the following post […]
Best mobile RSS readers
There’s a nice little thread on Engadget regarding mobile RSS readers. I had been experimenting with the beta of FeedBurner’s mobile RSS reader and it works, but nothing to get too excited about. From the comments on the Engadget post, I found the following to be getting the most votes as favorite mobile feed readers: […]
Strange WordPress error
Unfortunately its been a while since I posted to my personal blog and somehow an error crept in to break my feeds. I think I’ve corrected the issue, but if any of my remaining readers still see errors, please let me know!
MIT Enterprise Forum events
I attended two recent events sponsored by the MIT Enterprise Forum (MITEF). The satellite branch in the Washington DC area held a Talk With Angels event and an event called StartupLab. I presented my company at the angel event and was a spectator at the latter. First, let me say the MITEF is a tremendous […]
Google's Personalized Home Page Shows Promise
I tested Google’s new personalized home page features today and I definitely think there is great potential. I currently use My Yahoo as my main “home page” and portal to stocks and news (not as a feed reader though – I still feel FeedDemon is the best RSS reader out there). To be honest though, […]
Newsgator buys FeedDemon
Well, the news is spreading the morning – Newsgator has bought FeedDemon. This looks like a win win situation for Newsgator, Nick Bradbury, and consumers of both products. As nick mentions in his blog, one of the biggest feature requests he was as yet unable to provide was synchronization between multiple computers. This was one […]
The evolution and history of PDAs
It’s almost embarrassing if I think about the number of PDAs and similar gadgets I’ve owned over the years. And sadly, I’m still looking for the perfect one. My BlackBerry comes close, but still not quite there. Evan Koblentz has a great article chronicling the evolution and history of PDAs starting with pre-PDA devices and […]
Is ChangeThis dead?
I’m wondering if ChangeThis is dead? There is a tremendous amount of great content on the site contained in their “manifestos”. I see no update since February and in the blog biz, that’s a lifetime ago. I hope they start publishing again as I was impressed with what I had read to this point.
Self heating coffee in a can
The first line of this New York Times article sums it up best: “…some innovations are like Post-it notes: you didn’t know you needed them until they were invented.” As a coffee addict, I always have an eye out for articles on coffee, specifically caffeine. I think I’m looking for pro-caffeine articles to use as […]
