A life of apps or lifestyle flow

This was a flow of thoughts and not meant to be a typically proper blog post.  I just want to share this video and my thoughts. I want everyone to take a few minutes and watch this video keeping in mind that there’s 2 world we could be living in in the next few years. [...]

Where are all the apps for senior care?

There’s a huge market that needs servicing and I don’t know how to harness it.  After attending CTIA last week thanks to AT&T’s kind sponsorship I got an email from Clarity a company making a unique mobile phone specifically for people with low vision and/or reduced hearing called Pal.  It’s extra loud and has big [...]

Meeting Ralph de la Vega

I attended the AT&T Digital Life House show yesterday afternoon here in New Orleans where CTIA is taking place this year and was pleasantly surprised. I’m not talking about the interesting and opulent home that was wired up to the teeth, I’m not talking about the food and I’m not talking about the gorgeous backyard [...]

Don’t Get Scammed For Your Mobile Number, Like I Did

  I wanted to warn you all about a scam I almost fell for this morning.  I saw a bunch of friends on Facebook all had posts saying they signed up for a summer promotion from Ray-Ban to get free sunglasses.  I know it sounded too good to be true but come on, it was [...]

I wrote the below blog post for the Phone.com blog earlier this week and I wanted to get everyones opinion on it.  Do you check someone’s Klout, Twitter numbers and posts and FB friends before you respond to them for the first time?  I get the feeling that some companies don’t respond as quickly to [...]

We Need a MiFi With A Built In Wireless Router

I was just reading about a new miniature Femtocell and was thinking, you know what would be really great, a Femtocell built into a MiFi along with a traditional wireless router.  I have found myself more then once in a nice hotel that thought they were doing me a favor offering free internet if I [...]

Android Needs To Have A Vanilla Option For All Handsets

Android is getting a bad name in terms of fragmentation. It really is if I’m getting asked about it by my non mobile/non tech friends and I am, every weekend when I see them let alone the parents at my daughters school asking me about it.  Android is just getting slammed.  people know what they [...]

PR Firms Are Building Armies

I’ve been noticing over the last few years that the more successful PR firms in terms of getting bloggers to write about whatever their clients do are doing 1 specific thing.  They are all creating relationships with bloggers that aren’t about the product.  They aren’t only building on “look at this phone or that phone and write [...]
