Steve Jobs & The Courage of Great Design
There have been many tributes to Steve Jobs over the past few days but I found this short one by Bob Blakley to be particularly eloquent. All I know is that the company headed by this man has created the … Continue reading
A Love Letter to J.K. Rowling
For me, it all ended — magnificently — in the cozy confines of the Empire Theatre on Block Island, RI. Having raised our two boys reading Harry Potter books out loud, and seeing several of the movies on various July … Continue reading
The Personal Cloud, Take 2
There’s been a wonderful discussion of “personal cloud” on the VRM mailing list this week. So far feedback is running about 80% positive on the term. But if there’s one point on which everyone has consensus, it’s that our collective … Continue reading
The Personal Cloud
The hallmark of a rapidly growing new space is new terminology. Craig Burton goes so far as to posit that the growth of the space will be constrained until it has a lexicon that successfully incorporates its key concepts. All … Continue reading
kd lang: Hallelujah
I’ve been meaning to say this on my blog ever since the opening ceremonies in Vancouver. But since I just had the chance to recreate the experience on the Web, let me say it loud and clear for the record: … Continue reading
Comments on the Google account problem
First, my apologies to everyone who commented on Fixing the Google Account Problem. For some reason WordPress stopped notifying me about comment approval (I’m using Akismet but I still find the majority of comments that get through it are spam, … Continue reading
The Incredible Internet Answer Machine #2
I receive an email from a friend: Drummond, As my Word expert, how do I turn off the “balloon” captioning of redline changes? I think, “Good question. I have no idea. I’ve often wondered that myself.” I’m about to start … Continue reading

The Incredible Internet Answer Machine
I know reams have been written about “are we all getting dumber because the Internet is getting smarter?” But still, it does take my breath away, almost every day. In another one for the “new heights of irony” file: I … Continue reading
Fixing the Google Account problem
Every so often you experience a technical problem you can’t find any information about and which takes you forever to solve. Then, after you finally solve it, you are left scratching your head saying, “I don’t get it—there must be … Continue reading

Sincerely, John Hughes
Someday I’ll tell the rest of the story about why I’m posting the following link. But for right now, let me just recommend you read it. I was never particularly close to John Hughes movies — though I did like … Continue reading

Star Trek: See It
One advantage of having a 13-year old son is that you have an excuse to go see a summer blockbuster movie on the very first night it comes out. I never did that as a kid, which is one reason … Continue reading
Eric Norlin on Conferences Vs. Trade Shows
Having just been to RSA, which is the essence of a trade show, and being about to go to Gluecon, which I’m hoping will be the essence of a conference, I find the distinction between conferences and trade shows that … Continue reading
Here comes the next Internet Identity Workshop
Spring is around the corner and that means IIW. The next one is May 18-20 in the standard location: the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Early registration is particularly important this year – 75 registrations are needed by the … Continue reading
Sensemaking Series on Internet Identity
If you need to understand Internet identity quickly and at a deeper level than you can glean from blog posts and trade journals, but don’t want to hire a dedicated consultant, Eugene Kim’s Blue Oxen Associates has a great answer: … Continue reading

I love this word — and it’s meaning — so much I just had to post this after David Recordon used it in an OpenID general list post and gave the following attribution. Should be part of every techie’s daily … Continue reading
XRD Begins
For most people, watching the evolution of technical specifications is like watching a glacier move. To those of us living the process, though, there can be a great deal of drama to it — in fact it’s much more like … Continue reading
