Microsoft Makes use of largest Human Organ

June 28, 2004

My fifth grade science teacher taught us that skin was the largest organ in our body. Finally, us geeks will be able to use all that space for something useful. Radio Shack sells a really interesting home-automation system named Plug 'n Power that uses your in-home wiring as a bus allowing you to control electrical devices throughout the house. Basically, the system piggybacks frequencies on top of the signal in your wires to communicate between devices. Microsoft takes this one step further by allowing you to use your skin as the bus. In a recent patent filing, number 6,754,472 they mention that a variety of devices have redundancy or in other words, watches, radios, pagers and PDAs all need speakers.

Why we Need Wimax

June 15, 2004

I recently wrote an article about why we need WiMAX... It is in everyone's best interest to make it a success. TMC is doing its part. We recently launched WiMAXcon; an event collocated with our Fall Internet Telephony Conference in LA. The specific dates of WiMAXcon are October 6-7. VoIP will be a killer app for WiMAX and the collocation of these events makes infinite sense. If you are a service provider looking to offer wireless access or VoIP - you need to be at this event! I hope to see you there.

A Bachelor Party and Wireless Store

June 11, 2004

Recently I had a bachelor party in Las Vegas for a good friend followed by a speech at the Concerto User Group Meeting on Monday morning. If you get a chance to stay at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, you should give it a shot. Very nice accommodations More like a W hotel in Manhattan. The level of snootiness is high however.
