Talk the Talk
This post from Mashable got me thinking about something that’s eaten at me ever since I got into tech many moons ago. Watch the clip from “CSI”, observe the Twitter plug, chuckle at the pithy dialog. Some people just don’t value privacy. They don’t expect privacy; they value openness. Whatever. The best part, aside from… Read More
What Do You Really Want from a Social Network?
Eddie’s Oracle People Map got me thinking about what I like about social networks and why some are more valuable to me than others. Data visualization is cool, and seeing where people are geographically is a trip. I had coffee with Rick Turoczy, the Silicon Florist, today to talk about the tech scene in Portland,… Read More

Hug a Developer
First off, sorry for sending spam and bacn, the other inbox meat, all over the place. I’m trying to build a community here, so mind the dust. Remember Puneet from Life in the Bullpen? His comment on an idea of mine got me thinking of another reason why you should use Mix. The network humanizes… Read More

Help Populate the AppsLab Event Widget
A few months ago, I blogged about the events widget that appears directly under the Archives section in the left-hand column of this blog. The list of events posted to the Upcoming appslab group is getting a little short, so I went through and posted a bunch more, including Web 2.0 Expo in April, which… Read More
Mix is for Everyone
Paul announced our new community, Oracle Mix, during OpenWorld. Rich blogged about the experience he and ThoughtWorks had building Mix in 4-ish weeks. Depending on whom you ask, Mix took anywhere from 6-3 weeks to execute, so it was a classic agile project. Oh yeah, in case you didn’t know already, Mix is built in… Read More
Welcome Two (Now Four) More Bloggers
OpenWorld followed by Thanksgiving have really put a damper on my blogging, but today, my plan is to get back on track. First off, I want to welcome two new bloggers to the blogosphere. Part of my job is getting Oracle people comfortable with blogging and encouraging them to start blogs. It’s a tough cultural… Read More
Something Cool from OpenWorld
I forgot to mention this in my OpenWorld recap post, but it’s probably just as well. It might have been lost with the rest of the content. Dan Norris was talking about what he does, apparently he works, and he mentioned the Fall Saver. I guess Dan works with Piocon, and Piocon won a Titan… Read More
Back from OpenWorld
Sure, I got back from OpenWorld last Thursday, but I’m only now willing to get back in the saddle and blog about it. As I mentioned to a few of the Enterprise Irregulars who attended, OpenWorld is a marathon. Imagine a full day sessions, quietly sitting and listening, tons of walking around San Francisco, meeting… Read More

Off to OpenWorld
I’m headed out to San Francisco early tomorrow morning and will be around the event all day, probably on Twitter. I’m debating whether to take both the Macbook and PC. The Macbook’s battery life is a huge plus, whereas the PC can barely get booted on a full charge, which is annoying at best. The… Read More
Twitter + OpenWorld and More
It seems like Twitter will be part of OpenWorld, if Eddie and I have anything to do with it. Floyd says he’s making his first foray into Twiterville at OpenWorld. He’s soliciting questions OAUG Fusion Council Panel on Sunday afternoon. So, tweet away with your questions. Tim, on the other hand, doesn’t get Twitter and… Read More
Cool Stuff is Happening
If you read this blog, you’ll know I use Twitter, as do many of the people I interact with virtually. Recently, Twitter and its use created a strange alliance that is a powerful case study for new web collaboration. This alliance made up of a person from SAP, a person from Oracle, an Oracle customer,… Read More
AppsLab Meetup
As we roll towards OpenWorld next week, it’s key to have each evening planned as well as the days. After all, conferences are a great chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones and put a real world face to a digital voice. In that spirit, join us at the AppsLab meetup, which… Read More
