If You See Something, Say Something
Oh great, the “If You See Something, Say Something” (IYSSSS) campaign is launching PSA’s to get the public even more worked up… I started seeing the IYSSSS billboards around Indianapolis prior to this year’s Super Bowl. The funny thing is, at least to me, the toll-free number they give is not using an acronym or…

Cowboys & Aliens?
I’m about 1-hour into this nearly 2-hour movie and I have yet to get hooked. How in the world can such stars like Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford get involved with something like this? I’m committed now to watch the rest of the movie just to see how it ends. Probably going to wish I…

Google+
I like Facebook & I like Twitter. What I’m not so excited about is Google+. I setup a Google+ account when it first became available and I added several people to my “Circle” but I’m just not seeing the participation that I see on other social networks. Are you a Google+ user? Do you like…

Is the iPad Compromising the IT Industry?
It’s kind of like the perfect storm… The Internet has exploded in growth and its ubiquity directly corresponds to the Commoditization of “Connected Devices”. It started with devices such as the iPhone and Blackberry and it’s spiked again with the introduction of the iPad. Gartner announced this week: Without Proper Planning, Enterprises Deploying iPads Will…

Hey Indianapolis, do I have a DEAL for you!
If you’re a Big Mac fan, this is for you… 50% off & 26,000+already purchased! It’s all about the margins I guess… Hard to believe Ronald went to a discount site for its latest promotion. What’s next? 15 Dave’s Hot and Tasty’s from Wendy’s for $20? I’m not linking to the deal above, I just…
