The revolutionary internet device has been released and the better part of the tech world said “meh”. Unfortunately the hype surrounding the iPad made living up to said hype as improbable as Bigfoot actually speaking the queen’s english and inviting everyone over for scones. The reality is that Apple’s last few revolutionary devices were just [...]

The upcoming rumors of the mythical Apple device has the whole internet a buzz. Research into patents, companies that were acquired, website registration, and even a HIGH bounty for pictures, video, or physical interaction. There is reason to believe that this could be Jobs last hurrah and a parting device for all of us to [...]

I just came home from seeing what can only be described as an epic master piece of cinema. James Cameron has once again created an amazing world that truly was tangible.

I love ubiquity. Especially across personal devices. With services like Google and the venerable Microsoft Exchange Server I can quite simply pump unified data up to the cloud and have it rain back down on me in a sea of data that holds my life together. There is however one big drawback. Does everything really [...]

i don’t blog enough – Google Search.
So I did a quick search and though obviously not all the links are related to my google search. I think 337 million hits might be saying something. I am at the MICCA conference in Maryland and I remember when I was a teacher how I could blog often [...]

I love that Internet and its barriers to access are so easily overcomed in the present. No longer tied to a phone line that locks out any other use. No longer tied to a desk via an ethernet cable. No longer tied to a building as I have a USB dongle that gives me excellent [...]
I have been working closely with districts in and around Baltimore, MD and today was a great beginning of what I think will develop into a Chesapeake Consortium of Promethean School Districts. The counties there have really great vision leaders and a drive to get the most out of their investment. Today five districts and [...]
