  • NBC, NFL Deal Puts Adobe One More Step Back

    Quietly, a sleeping giant has been evolving. That sleeping giant is Silverlight, a Microsoft rich media technology to rival Adobe’s Flash/Flex platform. On this date, July 28, there is a dearth of Silverlight content on the web. Almost all the major video sites use Flash players, with Hulu, an NBC property, being a probable exception.…

  • Inside the Beltway, Inside the SuitCase

    The “inside the beltway” world is often deemed to be a crazy echo-chamber of pundits and talking heads who just want attention or to be re-elected or to get more power, because of all the perks and luxuries and what-not. Oh, and the decisions are all made by lobbyists in back rooms and it’s all…

  • Five Thoughts for New (and old) Bloggers

    I’ve spent a good portion of the weekend restructuring things around here at Technosailor. You can see that the site is much more organized around topics, as you can see from the new Masthead. Each of the verticals have been segregated into five separate blog-like entities. Desk of the Editor is all of my content.…

  • Andrew Feinberg to Join Technosailor.com

    Many of you know of, or have met, Andrew Feinberg. Andrew is a journalist working on Capitol Hill. He was instrumental in coordinating visits to Washington, D.C. by Robert Scoble and provided a great deal of information to me on the story I covered surrounding Congressional use of social media. Andrew has proven himself a…

  • Loren Feldman Demonstrates Artistic Handiwork But is Not Racist

    Alot has been said recently of the cyclone that has begun to swirl around Loren Feldman. Loren is, and continues to be, my friend first and foremost. Though I know this will be completely offensive to some in the blogosphere, many of whom I respect and see as colleagues, it has to be said. Artwork…

  • Loren Feldman Debacle Demonstrates Ignorance Lives

    By now, many of you have heard about the failed attempt at humor by video blogger Loren Feldman. In the past, I’ve been pleased to call Loren my friend. He is funny, and very New York – two combos that I like. People like Loren often make me miss NYC, where people are real. However,…

  • Consolidation in the Blogosphere – Part II

    Yesterday, I posted a video that suggested that perhaps a little consolidation needs to happen in the blogosphere. I was not the first. At the time of that recording, it had slipped my mind that Mike Arrington predicted a roll-up of blogs back in March. Regardless, the issue has sparked a very interesting discussion around…

  • Consolidation in the Blogosphere

    I think we need to see a consolidation of content and advertising. Everyone’s competing with each other because they don’t know how to give up their individual voice. What happens is we get a clamor for top Techmeme billing. Instead, I’d like to see more federations of blogs, where content producers work hand in hand…

  • What's Your Legacy?

    Back in December, the blogging world was struck dumb when Marc Orchant passed away suddenly due to a heart attack. I don’t want to rehash all the details as you can find them elsewhere. Sufficed to say, many tears were shed over his passing. Time heals all wounds, right? No, not quite. Today, GigaOm announced…

  • Cloud Computing Does Not Spell the End for Common Sense I.T. Management

    Sometimes I think I might be the only one who retains commons sense. Really. At least in the area of I.T. Management. Though we had our share of growing pains at b5media, the knowledge gained from working in an enterprise environment at Northrop Grumman was only accentuated by my tenure as the Director of Technology…
