I was not able to find a ‘best practices’ site or space on the ‘net listing the best “personalised” automatic signatures (which one can add on to the end of emails). Recently, I have noticed a couple of novel signatures tacked on to messages sent from smart phones — if not smart friends! I thought [...]

Of Standards, Convergence & Collaboration – Winning back consumer confidence
Modern life is, at best, complex and, at worst, horribly wasteful and confusing. I am galled by the number of chargers that I must pack with me when I travel with my various electronics. On any given holidays, I will leave with the iPod, the blackberry, the Bluetooth earpiece, the laptop, electric razor, and the [...]
Typing Skills & Games – Credit to Lester Thurow
Typing not Stereotyping – A True Way to Advance… I have often wondered how my life might have been different had I not learned to type quickly and accurately. I will never forget a lecture I attended by Lester Thurow, former professor of Economics and Dean at MIT, back while I was at Yale (around [...]
Human Touch and the anti-Facebook trend
Will a robot ever have the human touch? As I wrote in a prior post, I was highly disappointed after being called only a “reasonable geek” in a rather comprehensive (if marginally outdated) Geek Test at InnerGeek. As much as I am a reasonable geek and am thirsty for all new technologies, it is this [...]

Facebook and new media communication…the deluge continues
Facebook, Blackberry, LinkedIn, Viadeo, Hotmail, Twitter, Plaxo, Jaiku, Bloglight.ning, del.icio.us and so on … the options for getting in touch are spreading rampantly. There is, on the one hand, a convergence and agglomeration of sites and, on the other, a massive divergence in terms of electronic communications. This latter consideration has now hit me frontally [...]
Media panel at Yale University
At the Yale Reunion this weekend, I attended–thanks to a happy acquaintance with an ’82 Yalie–a media panel entitled “Meet the Press”. The panel consisted of four ’82 grads from Yale, featuring Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota Senator -D), Richard Greenberg (NBC), Maggie Jackson (Associated Press, writer freelance for NYT and Boston Globe) and Nancy Gibbs (Time [...]
Computer Geek TBC LOL
I am wondering whether I will achieve Geek status… Somehow I missed out on thinking it was an attractive moniker in the old days. Today, I am not so sure. At the very least, I might not get lost when the kids rotate from one game to another or gravitate to more sophisticated gadgets. Then, [...]
