Portland by Train
The Southern Califronia house is on the market and it’s all systems go for a Portland move this summer. We are going up to Portland this week for another visit. We need to take a closer look at neighborhoods and schools. Since Lisa does not like to fly and driving would take two full days, [...]
Read more »Comic Books and the iPad
I’ve been saying this for awhile now, comic books on the Apple iPad are a massive opportunity. The large color screen is perfect for this kind of content. I would even argue that it’s a big strategic advantage the iPad has over the Amazon Kindle. The Kindle is the perfect device for black and white [...]

Either that or they don’t care. As everyone is today, I am left wondering if anybody had the discussion about the iPad name. Did they completely miss this or did they so love the name they did it anyway and figured they would suffer the slings and arrows for awhile but ultimately overtake the connotations? [...]
Read more »Great Parody Ad: Democrats Get Balls
I love it when someone makes content that expresses exactly how you feel about a situation. Democrats have been so incredible wimpy and inept this year, letting Republicans and conservative pundits bully them around. It’s one of the reasons I am on the hunt for a new political party or more likely political philosophy, independent of party as I am thinking [...]

I was hoping for a little more from Stick and Stones: How Business Digital Reputations Are Created Over Time And Lost In A Click. It’s not that the information is bad, it’s all there but there was nothing new for me. Now I am a social media professional and I’ve already read a great deal [...]

As of today you can buy my house and I wish you would. We have been planning this relocation for a long time now and we are finally on the verge of taking the first big step. So far things are on track and it still looks good for a summer move to Portland, OR.
Ironically it’s [...]
Why Comic Book Stores Rock
I have been recently introduced to comic books, something I never was into when I was a kid. As a result, I have found myself going to various comic book stores. Going into a comic book store is a pretty alien experience for me as I don’t know a thing about comics but the experience [...]

I have been so inspired by Julien Smith and his blog post, How To Read a Book a Week in 2010 that I decided to take up the challenge. I always have a stack of books that I never get through and this looked like the perfect way to make some serious headway. It’s part [...]

My body hurts in so many places and I’m tired as tired can be. We’ve been working like crazy to get this house ready to put on the market for sale soon. Moving furniture, taking out trash and Goodwill, and generally moving nonstop for three days. My lower back is the real problem area and [...]

via cnn.com
2010 is going to be a HUGE year for eBooks and e-Readers. Lots of new technology is going to ship and competition is keeping everyone on their toes. I still say Amazon has the inside track due to their powerful online store and brand name. The wild card is, of course, Apple who is [...]
