I think we forgot something on the way to the future

I think we forgot something on the way to the future

By Dan Morrill on April 27, 2010

Our future was supposed to be bright and shiny.  I think we messed up somewhere along the line. I do not normally write about politics, and I try to keep this blog generally upbeat. While I am busy building out my company and seeing good growth and support from the people we serve, there are […]

Who controls what happens in your browser

Who controls what happens in your browser

By Dan Morrill on March 26, 2010

Interesting tidbit over at Techdirt this morning about a Grease Monkey script called Fluff Busting Purity formerly known as Facebook Purity. While the Techdirt article is good, there are some interesting side issues here that should be noted. Many people run scripts within their browser that kills data coming in from web sites, most popular […]

Startup Weekend in Haiti

Startup Weekend in Haiti

By Dan Morrill on February 23, 2010

This is one of the best ideas I have seen all month, taking startup weekend directly to Haiti to help and provide support for budding programmers and entrepreneurs in the earthquake stricken country. If anything will add a bit of hope to that country, startup weekend is one of our best American assets we could […]

Regenerated Content Streams and Tuning Out

Regenerated Content Streams and Tuning Out

By Dan Morrill on February 17, 2010

Louis Gray touches on a great point over on his blog today about how information is regenerated not just by the people who follow us, but by the popularity that we carry. I want to focus on one portion of this because it touches back to many of the issues we face not just with […]

Welcome Computer Engineer Barbie

Welcome Computer Engineer Barbie

By Dan Morrill on February 16, 2010

In an idea that is on the order of “about time”, Mattel introduced Computer Engineer Barbie on the 12th of February 2010. Let us hope that this helps solve part of the problem with women and girls going into Computer Science. The problem is solvable, it will just take the concerted efforts of parents and […]

Our future will be more chaotic than dystopian

Our future will be more chaotic than dystopian

By Dan Morrill on February 15, 2010

We need much better logic in terms of how we handle censorship and the influence that platforms have to change how censorship is enforced. There has always been information that people did not want people to know about in one form or another. Fortunately there has always been a way to get communications in and […]

So what is next for my startup

So what is next for my startup

By Dan Morrill on January 19, 2010

Over the last six months we have been working on a process that will allow us to grow our company and take advantage of many of the new technologies that are coming out. My company sells comic books, but we have noticed that on eBook readers – certain kinds of comics look absolutely brilliant. So […]

Starting a New Series on Entrepreneurialism

Starting a New Series on Entrepreneurialism

By Dan Morrill on January 14, 2010

I continually talk about how starting a new company can be one of the smartest things you can do in the current recession. Especially if you are part of the growing legions of the unemployed for 14 weeks or more, it is going to be a difficult 2010 for many people, and many of the […]

Get my Book Free if you write an Amazon Review

By Dan Morrill on January 12, 2010

It is the New Year, and part of my new year’s resolution is to plug my book “Boom and Bust in the Blogosphere.” The goal is to give away seven copies of the book in return for an Amazon review of the book. Here is what you have to do. I believe in people being […]

Pantagraph News to Readers: you need a time out

Pantagraph News to Readers: you need a time out

By Dan Morrill on January 7, 2010

For many people who own web sites that have articles that allow comments, the free for all that sometimes erupts around “discourse” can often degenerate into an abusive diatribe pitting Republican against Democrat in the best right wing/left wing nut job symbolism out there. Take your pick – we have all dealt with Trollish behavior […]

Twitter Marketing Hell: New Site by Steven Hodson

Twitter Marketing Hell: New Site by Steven Hodson

By Dan Morrill on January 6, 2010

Steven Hodson has to be one of my favorite people to read online, and over the holidays he put together a “Wall of Shame” for bad twitter marketers. I hope he lets me write for him on this one, as I have plenty of good examples, not just from my Techwag Twitter, but from my […]

Why I need a tablet and so do my students

Why I need a tablet and so do my students

By Dan Morrill on January 3, 2010

With all the hype over do we or do we not need a tablet computer, I keep on thinking of my students and where I want to take educational technology in the next 10 years. While I am in a fortunate position to “change the world” when it comes to education, I am also in […]
