Tweet If you’re in Colorado or need a good excuse to head out for some great spring skiing, consider EntConnect. I’ve attended many times in the last 20 years and it’s a great time because they get out as a group and ski, shoot guns, and drive fast go carts. It’s an un-conference conference. iOS [...]
Tweet My wife snagged the Winter 2012 issue of Build out of a pile of holiday catalogs that loomed larger than a mid-sized dog. She has a keen eye for stuff I might like and her perception about Build was very accurate. It’s one of those great finds; a magazine you can’t put down. One [...]

Tweet Have you ever dreampt of leaving the world of desktop PCs and laptops behind? I have. Some days I ponder what it would be like to never have to think about syncing, managing two, three, or more computing spaces.
