  01 June 2013

  Is TSA trying to be more customer centric? Today was first time with TSA Pre on my boarding pass. They let me through security with my Google Glass on. They also didn't make me take my shoes or belt off and didn't make me take my computer out of its bag....

  10 June 2013

  A more in-depth look at Umoove so you can see why its face/eye tracking is a game changer. Will Apple announce anything as interesting today? I'll be watching and we'll have a Gillmor Gang at noon to discuss if it came up to the bar that this Israeli...

  Go Apple: Half Moon Bay surfing spots beat cats anytime. ;-0 Not to mention that Apple exec Phil Schiller lives in Half Moon Bay. Mavericks is famous big-wave surf spot here. I'm sure he had something to do with that. Half Moon Bay is becoming quite a...

• How Teens Are Really Using Facebook

  24 May 2013

  Let me get this straight. Teens say Facebook has too much drama so they are using Instagram and Twitter instead. Got it. But Twitter and Instagram are defacto public networks. Because of that they are much easier to search and find stuff out that you've...

• Montana Medical Marijuana Provider Chris Williams to be Sentenced Today in Federal Court

  22 June 2013

  What does it mean to be an American? This pisses me off a lot more than anything the NSA is doing. Our culture and society are broken. In a whole lot of ways. I've been thinking a LOT about what it means to be an American lately. Are we free? Really free?...

• Rackspace Open Cloud Community

  11 June 2013

  Here's Rackspace's official answer on how we handle government requests. Like I said, my stances over the weekend weren't coming from Rackspace. This shows just how deeply our execs believe in the Fourth Amendment. I'm so fortunate that I work for Rackspace...

  20 June 2013
