You probably found my blog through a search about some random topic such as how to setup an internet TV or why you should think twice about Feedburner.
I haven’t updated this blog in more than a year, and I never really contributed much here in the first place. The reason is simple, this is a marketing blog and I’m not inspired by just marketing anymore. I’m more curious about the movement of mobility (work happening anywhere), travel, entrepreneurship, startups, film and the age of sharing. Marketing plays into all of …

My fun lil’ project has been to Setup Internet TV for $300, complete with a remote control that acts like a pointer, clicker, keyboard and a mouse. In this project, I’ve learned about mini-DVI vs. DVI vs. HDMI vs. VGA. It turns out, you can’t get sound unless you use an HDMI –> HDMI cord, which means you need two HDMI inputs. Enter the Zotac MAG, which stands for Mini All-in-One Giant. It’s what’s known as an HTPC (home theater personal computer). You can use the Zotac as a regular …

So, I’ve talked to AV folks… my network of over 100 people, techies, hippies, yuppies and no one (and I mean no one) could tell me how to hook my computer to the web. I have a fairly low-tech solution at the moment.

The lesson I learned is that you lose sound if you aren’t connect HDMI to …

The question is, how much does sound really impact us? Marketing whores (read: agencies) are obviously familiar with sound bytes that they use promote big brands like Gap, Intel, …

When I hear the phrase “web 2.0,” I envision jelly bean buttons that look so good you want to lick them and bubbly widgets that interact with social media or other web apps. I think that’s result of hearing the jargon passed around so much.
That aside, I think the new breed of web 2.0 concepts are very sexy. When typical business models are flipped upside down, the Internet takes on a whole new dimension. It’s exciting to see companies giving ordinary people so much choice. One day, you’ll be …

Through the hype and all of the white noise, tech articles made the promise of the iPhone seem dismal.  Less than a week after its debut, I used the device. And now I know why it will change the way wireless industry as we know it. Wireless Internet technology has been around for more than a decade, but it was not until the iPhone that the crossover of browsing from computers to truly handheld media devices made it to market.  Just think, the total content industry on mobile was $31 …
