It is no secret that I am all about technology. Aside from the fact that it has funded a very comfortable lifestyle for my family, I simply enjoy it. While I don’t love being on the bleeding edge, I do like trying things pretty early on. Since I have passed 40 devices on my home […]

Big Data takes over the NFL
In the past, I have written about how Big Data was changing professional sports. It is being used extensively in Hockey to allow coaches to better understand how players move around the ice, how well they are positioned and to show how valuable a player is in ways other than their actual game statistics. It is […]

Buying an IoT solution? Think like you are buying a car.
Like many people, my wife and I tend to keep our cars for a while. While we aren’t one to tell stories about how our car “rolled over 250,000 miles”, it is not uncommon for us to keep our cars for 10 years or so. However, eventually, even the best cars need to be replaced, […]

Why my life is going to become a little less smart...
For anyone who has read some of my previous posts, it is pretty fair to describe me as a bit of a “techie nerd”. I try to chalk it up to my work….I mean, I am an owner in a Technology company, so I really should use this stuff, but the reality is that I […]

Can BlackBerry help boost IoT adoption rates?
M2M Applications Ok, I really am a “techie nerd”, after all. Well, at least when it comes to gathering data from things. Given that my career has been built on helping others gather data from many different types of machines / sites, it makes sense that I apply the same logic to my life. This […]

Using M2M / IoT to improve the environment
I’ve written how IoT has been helping people with a variety of different "issues" in their lives. The word "issues" is in quotes since many of the actual solutions are solving problems that might not have actually been there (such as some of the more frivolous ones that I pointed out in this previous blog). However, […] -
Why Telecommuting needs to become more prevalent
Submitted by Larry Bellehumeur on March 4, 2014 - 9:49am I saw some recent articles about how many companies are still not embracing telecommuting and it is a shame. Sure, Marissa, I get why you feel that Yahoo needs to have all of their employees sit in traffic for hours to get to the office in California. There […] -
Making the Air a Safer Place using Big Data
M2M Applications Like anyone else who has ever spent a lot of time in Sales, I tend to travel a lot. While not as much as I once did, I still take 15-20 trips annually for work, plus the usual torturous family vacation. One thought that I have always had is....how do they keep all […] -
Expect more M&A activity as M2M market grows
Ok, while my kids think that I am old, I am not really THAT old. I wasn't in the business world yet when the PC boom started, so I can't speak intelligently on how it was in the "early days". However, I can be confident to say that it likely started out with a lot of […] -
Sex sells, but boring is where the smart money is…
Earlier this month, Ford announced the update to its iconic Mustang....and, it is a sexy car. Driving down the open road in a convertible sounds like a fun way to spend a summer day. However, if you are an investor of Ford (which I am not), you are probably more excited about the F-150 launch. […]
