October 16, 2016 By Kenneth Sousa

This post is as close to political content as I will (hopefully) ever post on this blog.  Don't worry, no commentary on the elections :-).

Is Amazon Dashing to the IoT?

June 22, 2016 By Kenneth Sousa

Does this happen to you?  For your household and personal items ... dishwasher soap, ketchup, contact lens solution, toothpaste ... when you need an item (because you are empty), you look in the closet and the item is not there.  And of course, it's either 6am or 10pm at night.  Bad timing. The … [Read more...] about Is Amazon Dashing to the IoT?

Update: Net Neutrality Legal Decision

June 14, 2016 By Kenneth Sousa

I must have had some type of premonition on the subject of Net Neutrality.  On Monday, I posted a blog article framing this public policy debate.  Now, on June 14, a ruling from the legal system (no, I did not have any inside information). A 2-1 decision from a panel of the United States Courts … [Read more...] about Update: Net Neutrality Legal Decision

What does the color beige and the Internet have in common?

June 13, 2016 By Kenneth Sousa

So ... should the Internet be neutral?  Metaphorically, beige in a manner of speaking. Neutrality.

ATMs — All Technology (does) Matter?!

March 16, 2016 By Kenneth Sousa

For those of us that were born before 1980, we remember that all banking transactions were done with a teller in a "brick and mortar" bank. Then, around late 1970s ... BAMM! ... the automated teller machine was invented.  The first models could not even dispense individual currency bills, but … [Read more...] about ATMs — All Technology (does) Matter?!

Tips for Surviving a Teddy Bear Attack

February 19, 2016 By Kenneth Sousa

Gremlins (1984) might become a reality—kind of. In the movie a child adopts a pet that resembles a big eyed cross between a small dog and a teddy bear.
