Higher LEGO Learning With the MBA

99.9% of the time “the next level” is a tired cliché to describe a well-intentioned but usually uninspired update of something.

Learn Some New TRYX

Last week I attended the TRYX OUT: NYC launch party for the new TRYX camera by Casio. Many times companies focus a lot more on the “launch” than the “party”, but when Nicki Minaj and The Roots help to announce the very cool TRYX camera to the world, it’s safe to say there was... Read more »

Tee Off with PGA Golf

Later today, I have a tee time at the Augusta National Golf Club. Up until today, I had ZERO chance of becoming an Augusta Golf Club member and pretty much that same chance an Augusta member, like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or Jack Welch might invite me for round.

The Jack is Back

Roughly, 15 years ago the office landscape was WAY different. Back then, websites were far from ubiquitous, social networking were two words they had yet to be paired together and the fax machine was the vital office tool.

Your Own Personal Trainer

Don’t look now, but 2011 is pretty much here. As we flip the calendar page late next week, many will be compelled to get their New Year’s resolutions out of the concept phase and into the action phase.

Best Wii Games of 2010

2010 may be remember as the year Wii’s dominance as the active-play video game system ended, but for me, this year will go down as a year the family-friendly console came through with some amazing- a little something for everyone.  Whether you’re into sports games, puzzles, retro (yet neo) classics or just plain old...

Guru Test Drive: iHome iP49 Studio Series Audio System

I am NOT a morning person. So I’ll gladly accept any help I can get with the morning wake up call.  A few weeks ago, iHome sent me an iHome Studio Series Portable Rechargeable Audio System. Sure  that’s a mouthful (and why I’ll refer to it as the iP49), but if you break down... Read more »
