“Toys are for dogs who haven’t learned to appreciate naps.”At some point I will write an extended rhapsody of everything dogs can do that people can do. Here’s what they can’t do: Connect dots. When I first started playing with Cleo, coming on a year ago, I would announce my presence at the church by texting […]

Do you want to sell your listing faster and for more money? Answer your phone Do you want to work with more buyers? Answer your phone Lenders, do you want more loan business from agents? Answer your phone I know this sounds simplistic but more sales are made on the phone then are made via […]
I was walking around the house Saturday — busily working away, headset in my ear, making phone calls and dealing with emails — when it hit me: The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the world’s first peripatetic computer. It’s easy and natural to work — to do real work — while walking. Salesmaniacs know that you […]
Cathleen and I have been playing with a new iPhone app called Twist. (Hat tip: GeekWire.) What is it? In the shortest possible summary, Twist is ETA software. You tell it where you’re going, it tells you and the people you’re meeting there when you will arrive. Or they can tell you when they will […]
Everything you’ve been taught about Artificial Intelligence for your whole life is false. AI researchers are not frauds, I don’t think, but they’re exuberant when they talk to reporters, and the reporters are ignorant, thoughtless and brash. In real life, AI is Siri, which can reliably lead you to the nearest closed-down super-market. In your […]
I love this news story, an exposition of the Supreme Court exposing its irrelevance: In an entertaining hour-long episode, Supreme Court justices on Tuesday considered the government’s power to regulate expletives and nudity on the airwaves. Why is this amusing to me? Because along with many other twentieth-century electromagnetic phenomena, broadcast television is dead. Every […]
Kicking this back to the top. This is me, writing just after the introduction of the iPad — two very short years ago. At the time I wrote these essays, every so-called “expert” on the nets was insisting that the iPad was an unforced error. I was right, they were wrong. But I’ve been right […]
Suppressing your phone’s ringer at the symphony is a Sarah job. If we start with the presumption that a smartphone/tablet/laptop/desktop operating system, ideally, exists in a sort of client/server symbiosis with servers in the cloud — and hence with all servers in the cloud, by concatenation (that is, by XMLation) — then your phone should […]
Warning long post ahead. First of all, I was saddened today to learn of Steve Jobs’ resignation as Apple’s CEO. Below is the resignation letter which is making its way around the internet at lightning speed right now. To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community: I have always said if there ever […]
Steve Jobs is going to do the keynote presentation at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference tomorrow. Surely part of his motivation is to show Apple’s shareholders that he is still in charge. But Jobs wouldn’t be doing this if Apple didn’t have some cool new toys to show off. Systems designer Kevin Fix speculates about […]
I have every intention of talking about the paradigm shift in software engineering that is being ushered in by the iPad. The iPhone pushed us half the way there with “apps” — dedicated client interfaces into server-based databases. The iPad pushes all that much further, with interesting implications for real estate marketing. Meanwhile, I’d like […]
I got an iPad 2 Friday, my spiff for hitting my earnings goal ($1,000 per day, if you’re keeping score at home) in April. The dogs have written a ton about the iPad since its introduction, and my plan is to write a ton more as I get used to this little box. Here’s my […]
I recently upgraded from a iPad 1 to iPad 2. Two reasons: I’ve found the iPad app to be so useful that I wanted my wife/legal assistant/colleague to be able to use one as well. With the iPad’s Daylite Touch, she and I are able to update, add clients and prospects, and manage calendars on […]
Here’s some good news: Time magazine has discovered the Singularity. It’s a fan-boy article, but it covers a lot of interesting ground, anyway. What’s missing? Sim, massively large databases, signal processing, lots of cool stuff. The article devotes a lot of attention to Ray Kurzweil’s research on exponential curves in individual disciplines, but misses the […]
