A busy 2009… and even busier 2010!

Hiconomics — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:55:57 +0000

Happy New Year to all. I hope 2010 will be a year of Peace, Health and Happiness for all of us. 2009 was a bit of a turning point for me… I think I came to the realisation around August last year, that I wasn’t adding much value to the blogosphere and was just regurgitating stuff [...]

This is an email I sent to contacts to encourage some donations, I thought I’d put it on the blog as well. For those of you who don’t know… Movember is a charity project that’s quite popular in Australia. —————— Dear Generous Friends, Rich Acquaintances and Mustache Enthusiasts… It’s day 13 of Movember, and as I stared in [...]

Wacom’s new touchpads… “Democratizing Touch”

Hiconomics — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 08:03:50 +0000

To be honest, I’d never been very interested in touch pads… I’d always considered them to be specific tools for Graphic Designers to use. Those of you who know me, will know I am NOT a designer, so you’ll be surprised to know, that since last week I’ve been using the Wacom Touch pad [...]

Is Wikitude Drive the Future of GPS Navigation…?

Hiconomics — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:00:42 +0000

I first wrote about Augmented Reality in my post early May, and I am quite proud of the fact that I indicated it’s potential well before all the recent hype from some of the more read tech blogs out there. There have been a number of recent articles and posts by TechCrunch, Mashable and ReadWriteWeb about [...]

More to learn in SEO…

This is a great presentation by Matt Cutts… that anyone interested in SEO should watch. It’s quite long, but however much of an expert you think you are in the discipline of SEO (white-hat that is..), I am sure you will learn something from this… at least in regards to Google.

RealTime technologies breeding Faster Innovation…

Hiconomics — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 03:48:21 +0000

I am naturally interested in this article in the WSJ because of my research in the field of Open Innovation. But I think what Brynjolfsson and Schrage have to say here, about how the speed at which technology operates (especially with the RealTime features of the web) is helping speed up the pace of innovation [...]

Solution for the Semantic Web? RDFa and MicroFormats…

Hiconomics — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 08:02:58 +0000

I’m sure a lot of you have heard or read about the Semantic Web… or what is referred to occasionally as Web3.0. The underlying principle is that it will be a Web that not only relies on keywords or tagged content but on the actual semantics (meaning and context) of various words. There have been some [...]

A crazy month… since I last blogged…

Hiconomics — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 02:31:54 +0000

I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted my last blog update about Microsoft Office 2010, and the excitement of having a web-based MS Office suite sitting on the cloud. Time has literally flown by and to say I’ve been busy would be an understatement. Aside from my full time job, I have [...]

Microsoft has just launched/released the latest incarnation of their Office software suite… and by the looks of it the hype and buzz about this latest version is warranted. Some of the most notable improvements in MS Office 2010 include: - MS Web Apps: A free web-based version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint… sitting on the Cloud… and [...]
