  • Guten Tag, Frankfurt

    Just arrived in Frankfurt for our European user conference.  The flight was packaed, but I actually managed to get 4 hours of sleep.  I have booth duty tonight, so I will try to make it in to town after that. Hopefully they don’t roll-up the streets at 6 PM, but since it’s Sunday, I may…

  • AMR Roundtable at Innovation Leadership Summit

    At the conclusion of the summit we had a small roundtable lead by Mike Burkett from AMR Research. The voices you’ll here in addition to Mike are Chris Lorence from GE Aircraft Engines, Shawn Greenwald from Motorola and Tim Coles from JCB.

    This is a different take on what it takes to innovate. Think you are fast? How do 90 day life cycles and 1 day development processes sound to you?

  • IT Conversations release a free podcast tool

    .!. Obviously my head in really into podcasting the last few days, but this looks like a good tool to solve a problem I have had, especially when using a single mike for a lot of people or recording a conference call. I’ll check it out (and maybe even try it on a few of…

  • The best WP plugin yet

    One of the reasons I decided to get a godaddy hosted account for my blog rather than just using the wordpress.com free accounts is plugins (the other is I can get my data out of the godaddy blog a little easier that wp.com makes it). I have about 10 active plugins that I use on…
