I always enjoy going to the Bay Area, and try to do so a few times a year.  Sure, the weather (especially in the south part) is much better than where I live most of the year, but I also enjoy going there because of its “energy”.  No, I don’t mean the over-priced electric bills, […]

As a way of changing my previous unhealthy lifestyle into one that was healthy and maintainable, I vastly improved my cooking skills a few years back. Now I know how to make a fair number of complex dishes that are both healthy and tasty at the same time. This new found/upgraded skill has an added […]

It’s Friday and odds are high that many of you are planning a night out for drinks or dinner this weekend…and if you are, I bet Uber is in the mix. I admit that I didn’t see the reason behind Uber hype for the longest time. So, let me get this straight, it is a […]

Many congrats to all those who put in the long hours of training to qualify for today’s Boston Marathon. Here’s wishing you a safe and enjoyable race! As an avid runner myself, I am always looking for an advantage.  While this applies to all of the equipment that I use, nothing compares to my running […]

\n\t Hello and thanks for reading.  If you’ve seen a presentation that I have given over the past couple of years, you may have seen me reference “the three phases of Wireless”.  It pretty much echoes the three phases of the Internet, but with more of a wireless spin.  During the first phase, it was […]

\n\t First off, I won’t be voting in the upcoming US primary or general election.  It seems that they have a rule against Canadian citizens voting in their elections.  However, it doesn’t mean that I am not fascinated by the overall spectacle of the US election process.  It may be the best reality show on […]

\n\t Hello and thanks for reading. Technology is truly amazing, and yet truly depressing at the same time.  I remember paying more (in the late 1980’s) for my Walkman than I did for my iPod Shuffle this past weekend, even though it was close to 30 years ago.  That “state of the art” Walkman pretty […]

I am not sure if this is still the case (Note to any network engineers: please let me know if this has changed) but for many years, the heaviest time of the year for cellular voice traffic used to be early on Halloween evening. And…..it makes sense. This is when all of the parents are […]

\n\t In the past, I have written extensively about how M2M/IoT will eliminate a large number of jobs.  While it might not make a job completely obsolete, it will certainly reduce the number of people needed in that particular role by up to 95%.  Think farmers…a couple of centuries ago the vast majority of us […]

\n\t In the past, I have tried to shy away from writing strictly warm and fuzzy pieces.  I mean, don’t we have enough stories in the news about how cute cats and babies play together on Youtube?  As well, we need to address many of the issues that the Industrial Internet revolution may cause, if […]
