Oscar Wilde said that, the best kind of philosophy — bonum, verum, pulchrum — the good, the true and the beautiful. I don’t hate it that we are monkeys biologically, genetically. But I hate it when people act like monkeys. Despite everything else that is going on, last week we caught a glimpse of the […]

Here’s a true fact: I’m pretty much disgusted with the RE.net — which denomination I quarried with my own hands, back in my early days on the apellation trail. By now, just about everything looks to me like hoke, smoke, hustle and jive — smirking vendorsluts and the clueless suckers who can’t stop themselves from […]
I give away a lot of killer marketing ideas here, but I never worry about the competitive implications. For one thing, I believe to the core of me that it’s raining soup, that wealth is pouring out of the skies and almost none of us is smart enough to reap that bounty. But, second, I […]
This is from an email exchange with Teri Lussier: Here is the computer for the rest of us: Imagine that civilization has collapsed. It’s happened before. Now imagine a computer something like the iPad (but durable enough to have survived and solar-powered or whatever). The ideal user-interface could be put to use by whomever finds […]
Cathleen bought her mother an iPhone just lately. Aloma Collins is 88, and her health is slowly failing. She’s in an awful spot, unable to do much and yet bored to tears. The iPhone has become a bright spot on her horizon. Cathy loaded it with some apps, and Aloma has since figured out how […]
Here’s the question that will appear in the deep-think mainstream media analyses of the brand new Apple iPad: How can hardware vendors answer Apple’s new tablet? Guess what? It’s a dumb question. Slightly brighter lights might ponder this, instead: How can Amazon compete with the new iBook store? And: Yes: It’s another dumb question. Here’s […]
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 […]
Project Glass. Too much to love. Phone with no hands. Video with no hands. Internet with no hands. I can use an iPad when I need it, but 80% of what I’m doing with mobile computing, this can do. Here is where we’ll miss Steve Jobs. Google is better than Microsoft with new ideas, but […]
A note to the Bloodhounds: I want to come in from the cold. If you know of a biggish Phoenix brokerage that could use my skills and assets, I’d appreciate the referral. –GSS I own a very small boutique real estate brokerage — good reputation, strong good will, clean books, and colossal internet power — […]
Caveat lector! The words you are about to read are unvetted, unhomogenized and unlicensed. One of my longer-term projects is to write essays on reasons why you should dismiss the things I have to say. I’ve only done two so far: You should dismiss me because I don’t care if you do and because I […]
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 […]
The big buzz in the mobile computing biz is augmented reality, your phone or tablet takes in a scene and then echoes back to you what it can infer from an image and its GPS coordinates, compass direction, etc. This may be cool, or it may be cool like a QR-code, an idea whose time […]
I’ve been living for years now with my daily calendar system of staying focused on my goals. Some months I do better, some I do worse, but having a regular agenda has proved fruitful for me. These are my daily goals: Work-out with free weights Walk with Cathleen and the dogs Write or update software […]
I am introducing Ascende.me today at BloodhoundRealty.com. I’ve been working on this, in my spare time, since Steve Jobs announced tabbed browsing in the iPad version of Safari, and it’s time to draw further inspiration from Mr. Jobs: “Real artists ship.” There is added functionality still to come in this software — and for something […]
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 […]
