a blog on tomorrow’s impact on today.

what’s next from google.

Google today announced that they’ll be offering a suite of applications for office workers for only $50 per user a year. These applications, basically an alternative to Microsoft Office, today cost about $150 a user not counting the IT help and hardware to run them.

why i love nyc.

I’m in NYC this week, and the frosty mix of weather provided me with a reminder this morning about why I love this city so much. It can’t be stopped…only slowed. Despite little chunks of glass falling from the sky (ok…maybe it was sleet/hail) I saw the city soldier on. At first I loved how […]
