Verizon Event Predictions

Verizon has announced a mysterious event next week and they’re not giving many details. The Wall Street Journal is predicting the iPhone on Verizon. Engadget isn’t 100% sure but as they state, where there is smoke… My personal opinion, Verizon isn’t going to announce the iPhone on Tuesday. Why? Its a Verizon event. And Apple is NOT going to let Verizon announce Apple’s phone going anywhere. I just can’t see it.

App Store

Today was the official launch of the Apple App Store. I’ve had a quick chance to play with it and here are a few of my thoughts. What I like about it… First off, it goes without saying that you have always been able to easily install software on your mac. You just had to find it. Sometimes it was through the Apple web site, but most of the time it was through word of mouth, tweets, blogs etc.

Delicious

There has been a lot of buzz going around about delicious being phased out as a yahoo product. Well, we can’t say for sure that it will go away, but you can pretty much guarantee they are not going to focus any more development time into the product. And quite frankly, that may not be a bad thing. Competition has popped up in PinBoard. But I would argue that bookmark competition has been around for a long time.

2011 Goals

I only hit 50% on my 2010 goals and I’m looking to improve on that in 2011. So here we go, let’s do this. I’m a new Dad so I want to make sure that I keep my #1 goal from last year. I want to be around for Nolan so the main goal for me is to continue to work less. I know its a repeat goal, but I think its pretty important to keep the work / life balance in check.

2010 Goals Review

Well, its 2011 so that means its time to review my goals for 2010 and set some new ones. This post will be focused solely on reviewing 2010. Goal #1: work less – SUCCESS! I think that 2010 proved that I could be more productive at the office without putting in a lot of nights and weekends. My boss recently gave me the permission to say No! which has been huge for my productivity.
