February 16, 2011I fell in love with touch screens with the iPhone. Now I’ve moved on to the Droid 2. But I was ready for something grander. Last year at DellCAP, we were introduced to a touchscreen laptop. How I lusted after the thing. Unfortunately, they pulled that model and no longer offer it. They do, however, [...]

January 31, 2011Yet another fun toy from Dell! I first was introduced to the Dell Streak when I attended #DellCAP last year. It’s a touch device that is somewhere between a phone and a tablet. Its screen is 5 inches, so you get better viewing of videos, documents, websites, than you do an iPhone or Droid, but [...]

January 25, 2011So I’m playing with the Inspiron One touch desktop (another post) and one of the best features on Windows 7 is Windows Live Writer.

December 9, 2010This is from Lead411. We’re all still trying to answer the question: how do you make money with social media? Jamie Turner and Dr. Reshma Shah wrote the book on it. Literally. This book doesn’t cover the basics of creating a Twitter or Facebook profile, and for that, I commend it. Instead, the authors talk [...]

October 28, 2010This is from my post on Lead411. I read a lot of books on marketing and PR, and most of them are forgettable. Sure, they hold my attention while I’m reading them, but afterward I’ve forgotten what I learned. That’s not the case with Brains on Fire, by Robbin Phillips, Greg Cordell, Geno Church and [...]

October 11, 2010This is from my post on Lead411. like learning about how emotions tie in to marketing and advertising. It’s interesting stuff. So I was eager to read Dan Hill’s book, About Face: The Secrets of Emotionally Effective Advertising. In it, the author talks about how voice and facial expressions can have vastly different results when it [...]
