This virtual real estate broker hereby declares freedom. Freedom from the traditional bricks-and-mortar business models that worship the institutions of the real estate industry. I have always been an iconoclast who is bored by the weekly office manager giving his inane speech about “get out there and get those listings.” I have always been sensitive […]

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 […]
Initial observations about the iPad Admittedly, I am a fan of electronic gadgets that promise to either make my life easier or make my life more fun. That being said I was very skeptical about the iPad when it was announced. I had made up my mind that the Microsoft Courier was going to be […]
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 don’t give a rat’s ass about Facebook, but the observation in the headline is priceless. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a good return on your investment of your time, South Park never fails to deliver. Fair warning: This clip is not safe for anywhere. HUMANCENTiPAD Tags: SOUTHPARKmore…
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 […]
The real estate business is obviously in the midst of dramatic changes, and that is certainly an understatement. I just published a new book entitled The New World of Marketing for Real Estate Agents (Early Adopters: The New Millionaires). The book will be available on Amazon for $14.95, but what I’d like to do for […]
iOS 4 can go there, no doubt. And the lame-ass “web-enabled” HD-TVs shipping now are no competition for what Apple can do. The iPad may be the actual future of video content, but there will be room in the home for big screens for a long time. An Apple TV becomes the ideal blackboard, too, […]

The Obama Adminstration’s henchmen are whining about the proliferation of new media , in a Vanity Fair article and I just couldn’t resist poking some fun at the irony of their complaints and the foreshadowing of the “perfect business” in an economy they “design” First, they bitch about the stamina required to work in the […]
Watch this: Yes, everyone knows Saturday Night Live is not funny, but that sketch is interesting, even so. Why? What is that bit actually saying? Actors are puppets for writers, never forget that. What are the writers of that unfunny little skit trying to say? Imagine this: Your parents spent a ton of money to […]
Last week, Don Reedy talked to us about the cool stuff Apple is doing with HTML5 on the iPad. Unchained alum Scott Gaertner followed up with me to talk about the possibility of doing the kind of content we do as single-property coffee-table books, only expressing that content on the iPad like the issue of […]
Cathy’s listing Friday, a classic North Central Phoenix luxury home. I was shooting interiors for her today, and saw this as a part of her staging: Building the single-property web site for the home, tonight, I realized that in six months or fewer, I’ll be repurposing content for single-property iPhone/iPad apps, as well. I doubt […]
The kind of awe and admiration Greg has for Apple, I have for Google. Whereas Apple’s product launches are greeted with unending speculation, leaks, rumor-mongering and fanfare, Google quietly rolls out new features. Some are great – Google Voice has turned out to be surprisingly useful in my business. Others are not – I still […]
iPad is the real estate kiosk. I found this leaked video from December. The earth moved for me when I saw the guy change the kitchen cabinet finish. The 3D CAD interior design idea has been around for a while, but now you can put it in HER purse so SHE can redecorate your listing […]
THINK HARD Brian Brady had a comment in the Oregon Suicide post and it got me thinking. I had forwarded this news to some economic development clients of ours. Nike would make a great Texas brand. I just pulled up some of the largest employers in Oregon and found a couple first rate candidates […]
