Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
It would have been nice to have this list available as a wiki so we could add to it! Of the top 10 on this list I think application/customer support, project management, and research are the “killer” apps. At the same time I would like to see wiki companies get beyond the basic blank piece [...]
Here’s a picture of a bridge that joins the former East and West Germany over the River Elbe. Yeah, it’s a bridge for barges… amazing engineering. Now for you armchair engineers, does the bridge have to be designed to support the weight of the water or the weight of the water plus the vessels? Click [...]
Thomas Hawk, a pseudonym, writes a really interesting blog about technology and photography, but mostly photography. I’ve stumbled on his blog a while back and have enjoyed his writing immensely, linking to his posts on occasion. I was surprised to read that he is joining Zooomr, the digital photo site created by Kris Tate. Actually, [...]
And if he did chose suicide would he have delegated it in an attempt to avoid legal responsibility?

One of my favorite writers is Michael Yon and he has been in a dispute with a French publishing company about a new magazine they recently launched.

I received an invitation to join a new service called Sampa and finally had some downtime to devote to checking it out. My first reaction is that this appears to continue the myspace trend of providing all-encompassing public spaces to the masses. In addition to the standard web page-like features, Sampa provides their users with [...]
There was a lot of good discussion at the CIO Council Offsite I attended today. Rather than give you a long narrative on what I learned I decided to jot down some bullet point notes about what I heard: 1) CIOs are weary of web 2.0 technologies and their ability to create support headaches for [...]
This is actually very cool, but at the same time it demonstrates some really poor behavior on the part of FIFA for not allowing AFN to broadcast world cup matches to soldiers. FIFA demanded that the Armed Forces Network pay them for broadcast rights before they would allow AFN to air the games to soldiers, [...]
