Each year I try to predict what the next year is going to be about….for no other reason than being a futurist is kind of fun. 🙂 You can look at my past year’s predictions and decide for yourself if I am any good at it.
Good Use of QR Codes
Just about a year ago I predicted that 2011 would be the year of the QR Code. That we would see these little squares popping up everywhere especially in America as smartphone sells continue to climb. Looking back over the past year I’ve given quiet a few talks on QR Codes their power and scenarios for best us. When […]
Google+ Reflection
Google+ has been open now for a while and the up-take of the new social-networking site seems expodential. There are already over 1000 people who have added me to a circle, by far my quickest social-network to 1000 followers.
Google Slowly taking over my life
This morning I woke up at 4:30am to call my bank back in America to do a wire transfer for our Winter Trip to Tanzania (Hiking Kilimanjaro, a Safari, and Zanzabar…yeah….we’re stoked!). I decided to use Google Talk via my Gmail account as I have become increasingly frustrated with the quality of Skype calls and I notice the […]
How Much Longer Will a Degree Mean Something?
This thought has been rolling around in my head for a couple of weeks now. How much longer will a college degree mean something? What has me thinking is the news I have been following about the Stanford Artificial Intelligence class that is now open for anyone to join. Some 35,000 people have turned in the first three weeks worth of assignments and are […]
Stand-Up Desk Experiment
It’s been about two months now since I’ve switched over to my standing desk here at school…and although the view of the white wall in front of me along with the discarded non-fiction books that are heading to better places isn’t the best view….the standing has been fantastic.There is a lot of reading out there about standing desks. I particularly like this one […]

Help Me Grow a Beard
One of the teachers here at my school started a Movember group. Movember for those of you don’t know is where men grow beards or moustaches in support for men’s health and specifically prostate cancer. This year, if for no other reason to hear my wife say “Seriously…..you’re seriously going to grow that?” I’m supporting the cause by seeing just […]
Technology: More than a tool, a new skill
by corykrug I’m dumping another technology phrase that I think its time has passed by. A few years ago I stopped using the phrase 21st Century blah, blah, blah. You name it we were calling everything 21st Century. I haven’t missed that phrase in my vocabulary as I believe it is just the way things should be now that we’re […]
