Let the New Machine Age Begin

Let the New Machine Age Begin

By John Taschek on September 15, 2016

We are ready for it! One of the first questions I have asked no one in particular is: what will change when artificial intelligence is  part of the fabric of day to day life? It sounds like a simple question, but it had a logical fallacy in that for the last 30 years, artificial intelligence […]

Dreamforce1 – The Context of Salesforce1

By John Taschek on November 18, 2013

You cannot deal with modern problems using antiquated systems. – Ramon Baez, Senior VP & CIO, HP @RamonfBaez, cited here by @valaafshar I have been to every Dreamforce, and I plan on going to every future one, so long as I remain of sound body and mind. It’s not just…

Mobile Shows That The World is Not for Dummies

Mobile Shows That The World is Not for Dummies

By John Taschek on November 18, 2013

It’s far too easy to hate statistics and use them to make a point simultaneously. Let’s use them to show that the world is not comprised of dummies and idiots. Beginning with the trends published by Mary Meeker about mobile adoption. She shredded some statistical constructs about the PC industry…

Recording versus Experiencing

Recording versus Experiencing

By John Taschek on June 24, 2013

Experiencing versus record keeping – it can’t be a new concept. Are we currently equipped to do both at the same time? Some would argue that continuous recording of life events gets in the way of the experience and prevents you from moving on. It’s not hard to see that when you go to a […]

Tempestuous Relationships

Tempestuous Relationships

By John Taschek on August 15, 2012

In what seems to be from the lower paleothic period but in fact was about a year and a half ago, I wrote a post about the Mean Girls phenomenon and Shakespeare. This in turn was not actually about mean girls or Henry IV, but about the interesting relationship of…

Ctrl – Alt – Social

Ctrl – Alt – Social

By John Taschek on February 21, 2012

In the tech world in which everything is recycled, retooled, and spit out like un-digestible gristle, one often comes across the phrases such as groupware is “dead” or “email is dead.” Oddly enough these are euphemisms or perhaps more correctly the opposite: dysphemisms – the substitution of a disagreeable word…

Bored of Directors

Bored of Directors

By John Taschek on February 15, 2012

What new shiny object do we not care about today? And what do crown jewels mean anyway? Thus was the start of a conversation with the New Zealand provocateur – in human form, which was a follow up to a Gillmor Gang Enterprise show recorded live in real-time. Behind the witticisms that began on the […]

Europe Sets Course for Cloud

Europe Sets Course for Cloud

By John Taschek on January 31, 2012

There’s a perception that cloud computing has become a “mature” technology, a perception shared by few but anticipated by most everyone else with the exception of those trying to preserve their self-interests. I don’t blame them – each person inherently protects self-interests. They’re wrong though. Cloud is not mature. It…

Carrot Beats Stick

Carrot Beats Stick

By John Taschek on January 19, 2012

WooHoo: You’ve just unlocked the URL of Blogville Badge! With Hostess becoming as bankrupt as the nutritional information in a Ding Dong and Kodak redefining the Kodak moment of another kind of bankruptcy, I immediately thought of my childhood. Thankfully those cheerful marketing images that blanketed the store shelves were…

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun

By John Taschek on January 4, 2012

Depending on whom you ask, 2011 was either the year of the iPad or the year of social. The truth is that they were and are equally weighted because they are catalysts for each other, and while each can exist without the other, imagining such a thing is like trying to imagine a world where […]
