Editorial: An Open Letter to Cirque de Soleil

Dear Cirque de Soleil, First, I need to tell you of my absolute admiration for the incredible accomplishments of Cirque de Soleil – artistic and creative, ingenious and inventive, athletic and graceful, masterful and musical – just a true joy to watch and experience the “grandest circus” of them all. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing 3 Cirque de Soleil shows in my life, the first was Saltimbanco in Seattle about 12 years ago, the second was Zumanity in Las Vegas 6 years ago, and last weekend I saw Totem in San Francisco – all of them beautifully executed with [...]

App Addicts

Whether you’re an iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Mobile user it has become clear that the ‘app’ is here to stay. What began as goofy gimmicks and games are now a tsunami of options and opportunities for mobile device addicts. As you navigate the marketplace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to figure out what apps are best for your particular business. It is interesting to me that despite the search capabilities within my Android phone, most of my favorite apps have been recommended by friends. Fun apps like HeyTell, Words With Friends, and of course Angry Birds! But what about [...]

Don’t Be Afraid of the Big, Bad QR Code

I don’t see QR Codes fading into the realm of techno-gimmick anytime soon. A recent article in Print Solutions Magazine provides some compelling data that clearly suggests the opposite. The number of Americans who are only using mobile devices is dramatically increasing. From Print Solutions Magazine: “After all, one in five U.S. mobile phone owners uses the mobile Internet every day (“2011 Mobile Internet Attitudes Report,” Antenna Software). Not only this but according to On Device Research, 25 percent of U.S. mobile phone users are mobile only. In other words, they do not (or very rarely use) a desktop, laptop [...]

Iconic Film Critic Roger Ebert Remakes His Voice

Roger Ebert has been an iconic film critic along with his longtime partner, Gene Siskel, who passed away in 1999. If you recall, Siskel and Ebert had a long-running television show that critiqued movies with their famous “thumbs up/thumbs down” and genial banter, and it was a pleasure to watch for any of us who love the movies. This is Roger’s moving story in a TED talk about the loss of his lower jaw to cancer, and his struggle to find and remake his “voice”, and how technology has helped him.

44 Excellent Free and For-A-Fee WordPress Themes

A WordPress theme is simply a type of template that helps give your blog or website a “look and feel” with colors, layout and structure. Some themes have more features, bells and whistles like image sliders, fade-in/fade-out effects and embedded video capability. A theme “sits” on top of the underlying WordPress Content Management framework when you build a blog or website with the WordPress platform, and is usually customizable to some extent so that you can tailor the theme more specifically to your needs. When you choose a theme, you’re committing your site to the design possibilities and the limitations [...]

Facebook Announces Partnership with Web Of Trust To Enhance Security

Facebook has just announced a partnership today with Web of Trust, a free tool that leverages crowd-sourcing to determine the “trust” factor of websites. WOT has built a database of “safe” websites based on the ratings of millions of users who have rated millions of websites based on their experiences. To rate a website, you need to have a WOT account (free) and download an add-on for the browser you use. The WOT add-on tells you which sites you can trust when using Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Bing, Wikipedia and other popular sites. The free add-on works with Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, [...]

Steve Jobs introduces the new Apple.TV

Steve Jobs introduced the new and improved Apple TV at the Apple September 2010 Music Event – it’s a media streamer, rather than an actual TV – with the ability to stream content instead of store content, which makes sense when you think of the enormous file sizes involved with full-length TV shows and movies. Apple TVs have been around for about 4 years, but never became really popular. After studying what Apple TV users really want, Apple decided to introduce a new version with new and improved features including HD, lower prices for content, and Hollywood movies and TV [...]

Last Airbender Movie is Actually a Comedy…

Wow – fantastic. I just read a brilliant review on The Last Airbender movie, by Charlie Jane Anders, a science fiction writer and reviewer for io9.com, entitled M. Night Shyamalan Finally Made A Comedy. Thank you Charlie, for putting my thoughts about this movie into such a succinct, descriptive and accurate review… my son and daughter have watched all the original Airbender shows on tv and they and their friends were horribly disappointed by the movie…can we demand a re-make (by another director, perhaps Peter Jackson…) ?!?

Sneak Peek: Twitter has a new re-design coming…

Heard about Twitter’s major new re-design? Doug Bowman, Creative Director at Twitter, posted a sneak peek at Twitter’s new interface – very cool! Though the teaser doesn’t show much, it does looks like more stats on the profiles, including the number of days you’ve been on Twitter, when you joined, the average number of tweets a day you post, and the percentage of recent @replies. While it doesn’t show a lot, it does mean that a major re-design is coming out soon – what do you think of the design so far?
