The Problem with Streaming

Last night,  on a whim, I decided I was going to log into my Netflix account and bum around watching movies.  This turned into a functional nightmare.  I spent an hour trying to find a film that I would like to see, and ended up being stymied time and time again by the lack of [...]

What happens when we review all doctors on the internet, because we’ve moved to a completely electronic medical data system?

Behind on What I Wanted To write About: The Adobe-Omniture Deal

So on the same day that everyone goes crazy over Mint‘s exit to Intuit, Omniture gets bought out by Adobe. I had a bunch of other things to do with my life (being sad about life changes for one, pack, write, bah humbug), yet I really wanted to take a good look and think about [...]
