Hey, No Messaging While Driving, Unless It’s Your Car Doing It – Ford Safety Technology Preview
Last week, Robert Scoble (Scobleizer.com), Mark Hachman (PCMag.com) Xavier Lanier (Notebooks.com & GottaBeMobile.com ) and I squished into a Ford Explorer to get a preview of some new safety technology that Ford and other auto manufacturers are starting to develop. With this new tech, appropriately outfitted cars actually “talk” to each other, many times a […]
Time For Some Fun – My New Site Celebrating Technology Failure – Tech-Fail.com
Last week I decided that I needed a bit more fun in my life, or if you look at it another way, to add some more workload to my already busy day. Since I cover technology all of the time in the form of reviews, how-to’s, fix-it’s and other musings, often with a family spin, […]
An Interview with Ford: Understanding Safety Advances in Ford Vehicles & the Ford Focus 2012
Recently, I have been very focused on the car industry lately as I have been shopping for a new car. One of the primary items that made me want to consider a new (or newer) car as opposed to and older model is the advancement of safety features that many manufacturers have made. While many […]
“Safety, Security and Splash?” – Hot Topics from Cast of Dads Podcast #32
We are definitely back into the swing of things with the latest episode of the Cast of Dads Podcast. And personally, I believe that the topics we covered in Episode #32 should be one that is of interest to parents across the country. Note: we are always looking for sponsors! If you would like to […]

Some really interesting news floated by today. Flipboard is a pretty interesting iPad app. Be sure to check it out. But you may have some issues hooking up your Twitter and/or Facebook feeds. I’m still waiting…and waiting…and waiting for Google Voice to be approved. Is your home router hackable? Be sure to read the article […]

I’ve started commenting on some articles that I come across daily on my surfing of the Net. I post these using Amplify.com (you can see my Amplify posts here). I’m testing a RSS Digest aggregator that pulls in these items. Hopefully this will work well, so for starters, here are some things to read: Beta […]
My Brain was Upgraded at Intel’s “Upgrade Your Life” 2010 Summit
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the Intel “Upgrade Your Life” 2010 Summit (my announcement) which was a gathering of a variety of technology influencers and bloggers. At this summit, we were introduced to a number of different individuals representing different initiatives within Intel. There were 10 of us invited to […]
I’m Participating in Intel’s “Upgrade Your Life” Digital Influencers Summit
A few months or so ago, I saw an interesting phrase from Intel fly by on Twitter. It was the line “Upgrade Your Life” which I thought was a very creative melding of technology and real life. I was definitely intrigued. To my surprise and pleasure, a few weeks ago, I was invited to attend […]
The Ford Sync – a “Knight Rider” for the Rest of Us
Remember way back in the 80’s there was a TV show called Knight Rider where one of the two main characters was a car that talked to you and responded to your voice commands? Of course K.I.T.T. (the name of the car which stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand), did a lot more than just […]
Renaming Cast of Dads Podcast #15 to the “iPadcast of Dads” – “iPad, Kindles & VCRs OH MY!”
The Cast of Dads recorded podcast #15 (“iPad, Kindles & VCRs – Oh My!“) the day the iPad was available to purchase. Only one of us (CC) actually had one to play with, but the rest of the Cast of Dads definitely had a lot to say about this new, potentially disruptive (in many ways) […]
The Sony DigiDad Project
No, it’s not about turning a bunch of dads into Skynet, cybernetic offspring. Nor are there going to be a new line of kids DigiPets that are modeled after fathers (but that would be an interesting idea). The Sony DigiDad Project is actually pretty cool (probably because I’m in it)! So here’s the scoop. Sony […]
