Mobility for *me* is about…

Published on January 12, 2010 in General
I will make it easy for myself… I use my mobile phone for one reason, and one reason alone – convenience. I need to remember this

If it is not convenient… And if it won’t help me I just won’t use it. – Does it simplify my life when I need it simplified? – Will it save me time?
- Will it make me money?
- Can I go home sooner if I use it?
- Can I avoid a backlog at work?
- Will it help keep my 4-year old entertained while we wait for something neither one of us wants to wait for? -Usually a Doctor or my wife at the store…;)
- Will it save me a trip somewhere?
- Can it help put a smile on my customer’s face?
- Etc

‘Google’ is American Dialect Society’s Word of the Decade

Published on January 12, 2010 in Society

Technology drives the astounding pace of contemporary language change, so it’s hardly surprising that most landmark words today come out of tech. That and the fact that this industry is responsible for the production of 9/10s of the world’s neologisms.

No matter what, 2009’s top words came from tech. The American Dialect Society’s word of the decade is ‘google,’ and ‘tweet’ is the ADS’s word of the year.

“Both words are, in the end, products of the Information Age, where every person has the ability to satisfy curiosity and to broadcast to a select following, both via the Internet,” said Grant Barrett, chair of the New Words Committee at the American Dialect Society.

“I really thought blog would take the honors in the word of the decade category, but more people google than blog, don’t they?” Barrett said. “Plus, many people think ‘blog’ just sounds ugly. Maybe Google’s trademark lawyers would have preferred it, anyway.”

Maiden Post at Mobile Strategy Posterous

Published on January 7, 2010 in General

This is the first post.  It is both a test to see where it posts and how it works since this is the second Posterous account and we want to keep them separate.  More as we develop this site… it will be mostly used for bookmarking and commenting on stories that I read.  The other site (http://m-strat.org) will have the deeper analysis and the longer posts.

Here's to good run!

Last few hours of rest…

Published on January 5, 2010 in General

Here I am enjoying the last few hours of the holidays before heading back home this afternoon.  Tomorrow the race continues.  Much has taken place over the last two weeks as we helped out in an inner city Detroit church.  When the clock struck midnight I was on my knees praying with a stranger who had just been released from prison 3 weeks earlier.  Certainly not what I expected to be doing … but God had other plans for me.  I will write more about this when I am back home …

Thinking About Work

Published on January 2, 2010 in General

I haven’t thought about work in the last two weeks…except to think that I am not thinking about it. How long will it take my brain to really start thinking about work? Will I ever be able to think again?
