Samsung Develops Wallet Platform
So Samsung is finally showing some cards around mobile payments and it looks like they’ve developed a full-up wallet system rather than simply utilize an existing method. This certainly aligns with their desire to control more of the ecosystem and looks like a strong contender assuming they are able to deliver carrier partnerships as well … Read moreSamsung Develops Wallet Platform
‘Helmet of Justice’ #cycling
There’s been a fair bit of media attention on cycling accidents and menacing drivers over the past year. I’ve often considered getting a GoPro for safety more than thrill capture as a typical ride would probably be quite boring to review. Design Studio, Chaotic Moon has a different idea and instead is piloting the idea … Read more‘Helmet of Justice’ #cycling
Disney Infinity’s Cars
When it finally comes out this summer, Disney Infinity is going to cost me some money. With the range is playsets, my kids are going to be very psyched … I’m pretty psyched too actually.
Samsung’s HomeSync
This is a rather interesting development from Samsung… It’s not GoogleTV, but it is an Android powered STB. The device features WiFi, Bluetooth and Ethernet support, 2 USB 3.0 ports for peripherals, a micro USB port for connecting to a PC, and HDMI output for hooking up a TV or monitor. Under the hood, the … Read moreSamsung’s HomeSync
Android finally shows 3rd party music control on the lockscreen!
Hard to believe this has only recently become available but it’s true… 3rd party apps can finally offer lockscreen control. Think this is a 4.2 thing add it is not yet available on my Note II which is running 4.1.2. Hopefully to be updated soon… Officially. Thanks to @wubbahed for the wake-up call.
@pebble a week later…
I thought I’d share some additional thoughts on the Pebble now that I’ve had some real quality time for how it works. In general I remain really pleased. There are certainly things I would like to see update but given the limited roll this far I’m going some of this is in queue. Smart mode … Read more@pebble a week later…
Intel is ready to crack internet TV
The Verge has a great piece on the potential for Intel to succeed in their latest digital home initiative… The fact that Intel doesn’t by and large work in media could be a handicap, but if you stop to reconsider, it potentially gives Intel a huge advantage. Think about it: how was Google ever going … Read moreIntel is ready to crack internet TV

Tougher Times for the Whiskey Drinker
This morning I caught a piece on how Beam, Inc is being “forced” to literally dilute their premium brand Maker’s Mark in order to keep up with the spike in global demand. They did proactively reach out to the brand ambassadors in order to let them know in advance, but also to mention … Read moreTougher Times for the Whiskey Drinker

LinkedIn … Not sure if I should celebrate or be freaked out.
I’ve certainly been using LinkedIn more and not as a job seeker. I’m really surprised to hear I’ve been viewed so many times. Also sorta curious how many other people I know got this same congratulatory note.
Pebble Activated … with even smarter notifications
My Pebble watch arrived last night and I immediately set it up as I’ve been waiting a long time for it to ship! Out of the box, it required a quick firmware update which gets sent via your linked phone … in my case the Galaxy Note II. Pretty straight forward stuff for anyone geeky … Read morePebble Activated … with even smarter notifications
Evernote … Text, graphic and sketch notes
I‘ve been using the Note II pretty extensively since I got it and have spent a lot of time in Evernote as that’s been my note taking / digital brain for years. I typically capture meeting notes as well as article clippings I see online which gives me a fantastic archive I can search as … Read moreEvernote … Text, graphic and sketch notes
55 Years of the Brick #lego
Hey it’s Lego’s 55th year and they are celebrating with some very cool riddle based posters getting you to use your imagination to solve the “mystery.” The series is really very cool and some are quite challenging as well. Just like Legos … They’ve got a Tumblr apparently as well though the page seems … Read more55 Years of the Brick #lego
