Ode to the stoplight

Just in case you were confused. I did not misspell s p o t l i g h t. We’re all pressed for time these days. I can honestly say that the only real downtime I get now is sleep.

Because of this...
CRUCES 5th Anniversary
C
On July 25th, 2007, I created my first blog post. It’s hard to believe it’s been five years and a lot has changed in that time.

It’s far more electrical and computer driven than mechanical these days. And I’m not just talking about the Nissan Leaf. Technology has been evolving under the hood...

Antonio De Rosa is raising money to build out a camera specifically for Instagram. (If you just ignore the fact that Instagram was bought by Facebook, it seems MUCH cooler.) The camera is called a the Socialmatic and the video below outlines all that the device does. They have 41 days left to raise the money and a long way to go.

The new business reality: a feature as a business model
T
It’s almost comical to say there is a new business reality at play. This is because there are so many forces at work lately, that it seems as though new realities are created and killed almost every quarter. Opportunistic turbulence is probably the best term for it. I’d like to call one out for review Features can be business models. I’ve listed some examples below: Dropbox...
