It's pretty easy to find stuff to laugh at when you work for a big company (especially a REALLY big company). I often joke that if a really big company had set out to create Facebook at the same time as Zuckerberg, it would still be a 200 page presentation. I started to wonder what it would be like if a professional services firm decided to break into show business. What if … [Read more...]
Creepy, Facebook… Creepy.
I was recently brought into a client engagement where EpiServer was brought into scope because the client had a license to it and they were looking to add CMS capabilities to the work we were doing.

I find it funny that you need a nom de microphone to be a rapper, but I guess James Todd Smith or Calvin Broadus don't sound all that street. So have fun, get some background on the chart and check out the whole shebang over at … [Read more...]

Dear Google,
Did I do something to offend you? I don't understand why you have rebuffed my Google Wave advances... I've been nothing but nice to you. I even had a friend try to hook me up with his invite and still you deny me.Tell me... What did I do? Come here, baby. Let me hold you. Is it because of my relationship with Apple? Oh come on, Google. That's not the same thing. I mean... … [Read more...]
