Funny I've always worried about the mobile keypads because on top of that they "echo" the character you typed. I'm paranoid and often try to shield the screen when I type in my password. That said there are so many cam

Spot on, for sure a mentor is great but introspection is a powerful tool. The first thing I ask when I start coaching someone is what are your goals with your career? In my career I can literally boil it down to four points: 1) Passion 2)

Honestly I would get a mentor. Find someone either in your org or out of your org that has the skills and career you would like to work towards and start talking to them. If you hit it off you may have found someone who can help you throu

Great point about the Bluetooth LE.. I've been doing some BLE investigations recently and one of my apps showed both my Fit Bit One and My Wife's. I've been thinking maybe I could use this to automate some stuff around the h

My wife and I are avid fitbit'ers. We used to walk about an hour every day before we got them so it wasn't like we became fanatics when we got them but things have changed in some very subtle ways: We can get the same amount of w

IMHO this should be product rule #1 - BE THE USER, if you can't then do everything you can to be as close as possible. When I started in tech people would say "Hey I need a database" and I'd say "Nope, teach me how

Wow that brings back memories of building games on a TRS-80 Model I in z80 assembly! Good show, I've often felt low level was a dying art, perhaps I'm wrong and stuff like this will push people to learn what a register is and what

Good question. I have an associate of mine who is building a fairly large web based system with oDesk developers. He told me the other day he spent $100k "figuring it out" and has burned through some 100+ people. He now has a c

That was a great write-up. I've avoided BTC from the start because I always figured someone would commit the algos to silicon and crush everyone else. That said I'm doubtful there is such thing as a ASIC resistance system in any

Finally the pendulum swings back toward reality. Virtualization is interesting for many problem sets but it does add overhead and it has it’s costs. All of these technologies are cost -vs- reward and for too long we’ve been drinking the vi
