How Do YOU Define “Emerging”?
Tuesday morning, I roused myself out of bed to get to the early Emerging Technologies Breakfast.
This was a bit of an odd program. First of all, I understood that the presenter who had a death in the family and couldn’t make it would show a pre-recorded web cast for his portion of the program. [...]
Taking Me Right Back
As I was walking across the street from one of our office buildings to the other today, I saw a kid, probably around 12, crossing the street. He was in shorts and a t-shirt and was barefoot. He was coming from the 7-11 on the corner and was carrying a big Slushie, a [...]
