No such thing as free time.
No such thing as downtime.
All you got is life time.

Perch is an interactive display technology that allows you to create some  amazing micro-experiences for your customers. Can you imagine the possibilities if the system had your data  – customer loyalty, buyer behavior, social product sentiment. That would be amazing! Enjoy!

Jelly is a pretty good idea and how many of us use our network. What @biz has done is put that mechanism into one interface. Think Localmind, but for everything. (Actually this is how a lot of people that I know use Twitter.) Enjoy!
Corning created their A day made of Glass video two years ago and now Samsung has created a video demonstrating their vision of the future. I can see having a smart watch and AR enabled glasses, not sure about the rest of this. Some of it feels disposable, which we are headed towards and I’m not a huge fan of that. Enjoy!

@metablake of Foursquare talks about their new offering. (Funny thing about accuracy, is that Brightkite originally had place-snapping back in 2008.) I really like the thought of chiming in when you’re out of your element. Enjoy!

I recently received an update on the Big Boulder Initiative from Gnip. (More info here.) There were three things in update that really interested me. 1) Privacy – what is it and how can it be provided,  2) ROI – because we all hate wasting money and 3) Education – I love to teach.
