By Randy Bias on January 4, 2012

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday. This is a review post that I think you will find particularly compelling. Rather than predicting the future I thought I would take a look back at five long years of ‘cloud computing’. As many of you long time readers know, I’ve been ‘in […]

World’s Collide: Phones and Home Automation

By Dave Michels on June 23, 2011

A Man’s home is his castle laboratory. My last post was about phones needing more apps – and here is a great one for the home. There are two things I believe every home should have – home automation and a PBX. However, my opinion (in this case) does not reflect the opinion of the […]
