Feb 15, '09 : What a visual world
Filed under: Scanorama
Right above my desk there’s a photo of a hockey player flying through the air after he’s just scored the Stanley Cup winning goal. The player is Bobby Orr, of course, a Canadian and Boston Bruins’ hockey legend, and the photo itself, is a part of the hockey lore as well.

Jan 05, '08 : Scanorama column: Homo gadgetus
Filed under: Scanorama
Is there anybody out there who doesn’t like gadgets? New inventions? Things that do stuff automatically.
When I was about five – and I remember this vividly – I wrote a sign above the door of the playhouse at my grandparents’: “The Lab.” In the lab, I conducted all kinds of experiments, such as spreading four kinds of glue on a piece of paper to see which one of them dried the fastest.

Dec 27, '07 : "Just one more thing"
Filed under: Scanorama
What is it with the Internet that keeps me hooked? The amount of time I spend surfing is, in a word, ridiculous, and I can’t even explain what it is that I do. But I’ll try.
I mean, yes, I do have over a hundred RSS feeds in my reader, and I do read pretty much all of it. (Well, that may be a stretch, I don’t read everything every day but I do scan most of the headlines every day).
But still, nothing beats the Web when it comes to procrastinating.

Remember back in the day when mobile phone calls began with a cheery, “guess where I’m calling from?” No? Well, they did. Those were the days when mobile phone were still called “car phones,” and calling from your car was the coolest thing imaginable.

Whoah, what just happened? I fell asleep at the wheel. Sorry. Anyway, here's a little something I wrote the other day.
Jun 29, '07 : Scanorama column: One big happy network
Filed under: Scanorama
I’m hip, I’m with it. Please join my LinkedIn network of friends. Check me out on Facebook. Won’t you send me messages through Twitter? Come on, it’s cool. We can totally hang out on the Web, and like, network and cook deals and just kick back for a second.
Jun 21, '07 : Scanorama column: Shutdown
Filed under: Scanorama
March 24 was the Shutdown Day. The day when www.shutdownday.org challenged everybody to just leave his computer alone. Not even a quick peek in the inbox, no speedy chats with buddies, nor aimless watching of pets and animals (and bad Idol contestant) videos on YouTube.
May 11, '07 : Scanorama column: The Switch
Filed under: Scanorama
I’m writing this column on a brand new computer. It’s eight days old now, and just perfect. And beautiful. And so special.
My very first Mac.

May 06, '07 : Scanorama column: Convergence is a four-letter word
Filed under: Scanorama
Mobile phone companies – handset manufacturers, operators and others – have been preaching about convergence for years, almost a decade now. They tell us that a mobile phone is all we need in the future because -- everything will be in it.
May 03, '07 : Scanorama column: Gadgets are forever
Filed under: Scanorama
When I was a kid, my father was an appliance store manager. Maybe the times were tough, maybe my parents couldn’t afford daycare, but I spent a lot of time with my father at the store, playing around with televisions, radios and stereos.
