Google …. Facebook … Twitter … What’s the next great idea?
I just finished watching my Collectors Edition Blu Ray copy of the Social Network for the second time, on top of seeing it in theaters, and I have to say it is one of my favorite movies and I always have this crazy urge to sit down and massively code for hours after I finish watching it. But I always think of two things when the credits start to roll. First, is why couldn’t I have invented Facebook or at least been friends with Mark Zuckerberg before he did. Second thing is, what is going to be the next big...
Read MoreEgypt, Technology, and Wisdom: What can we learn from this?
As the days have progressed, we have seen the situation in Egypt go from bad to worse, to almost hitting rock bottom. It started earlier this week when the Egyptian government “allegedly” banned the Twitter service in their country. Some Egyptian companies stated that this was probably a service failure on the largest ISP in Egypt and had nothing to do with the fact that Egyptian citizens are in the midst of a protest to overthrow their leader.

Read MoreTwitter and Egypt
Twitter is a big part of some of our lives.

But today I was noticing that #KSWISSANDKPOWERS was trending. I knew that K Swiss is the shoe company but I had no clue what KPowers was. So I decided to investigate. Turns out that KPOWERS stands for Kenny Powers, Danny McBrides wonderful screw up baseball character from the HBO show...
Read MoreHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1 … Was it Social Enough
Last night at 12 am sharp, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1 was released. Like 5 out of the 6 movies previously, I was in line at 11pm waiting to take my seat. Even being in a different state I managed to make sure I found a theatre within walking distance from my Hotel to make sure I would be there. I have to say, I was impressed. The best movie by far out of the trilogy. But like everything I do in life, I wanted to be connected more with the movie. I wanted to feel like a part of the insiders with my...
