Lots of news coming tonight

Uncategorized 1 Minute

What a fun week. Milan has proven I can love something more than I love blogging. Well, heck, Twitter and Flickr proved that too (that’s where I’ve been spending a lot of my online time this week, check out my new photos — we had a fun day yesterday with Dave Winer. In two weeks with my new camera I’ve already made 36 GBs worth of images, whew! Then compare to Patrick’s photos. He’s pretty good with the 5D).

Twitter has really turned into something special. It’s how I keep in touch with my friends and the world. I find I like spending a lot more time there than on my blog because of the immediacy.

So, let’s get back into it. Tonight there’s a couple companies announcing news. Come back at shortly after 9 p.m.

One of the companies speaks to the future of development. Four years ago I predicted that within 10 years very few people would be doing standard old Win32 style development. At the time I thought that Vista would be a lot more popular than it turned out to be and that the world would shift toward .NET development. I was wrong. The truth is that Web work is becoming far more popular than i thought it would be. Every startup lately is showing me Web work and, while some use .NET, most use LAMP on their servers.

Anyway, see ya tonight and don’t miss the Photowalking at Stanford University tomorrow. It looks like a huge crowd will be there.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  1. Yours and Patrick’s Flickr sets are so interesting — they remind me of the differences between mine and my daughter’s (who is the same age as Patrick). Patrick’s tend to look past the whole picture into shapes, interesting arrangements, color, tone, where yours tend to be more of the larger, broader field of view, contrasts, broad swipes of color and depth. Both wonderful, just very different styles.

    It’s always refreshing to see what my daughter photographs — she has a completely different way of seeing the same subject. It speaks a lot to why we don’t always communicate well, too. 😉

    Glad to hear Milan is doing well…send my best to Maryam! I hope she’s recovered from her labor and is getting some rest.

  3. Robert,

    You are right. Patrick has talent. In fact, I’ve enjoyed the photos both of you have posted lately.

    And the pictures of the baby were awesome. I could feel the love emanating from them, even here in Chicago.

    On that note, best wishes to you, Maryam, Milan and Patrick.

  5. Patrick’s photographing good!

    But, ask him to fiddle around with Photoshop. It completely changes how you view photography/photos. Thomas Hawk did it to me, and now none of my photos go online without a good time in Photoshop. Ask him to give it a try.

  13. Patrick’s photos are really great, and so are yours. You need to take more pictures of Milan; you haven’t been taking that many since he came home 😉

  15. I think you need to give your prediction a bit more time before declaring it wrong. Since Vista comes with the framework Microsoft is positioning as the GDI of the next 20 years (.NET 3.0/WPF), and presumably all future Windows versions will include it, chances are Win32 will slide more and more into the background. The question is, will Windows programs still be around at that time, or will everything be web based? I think both will still be around, and my guess is that people will gravitate towards the programming tool that lets them think at the right level of abstraction/power. .NET 3.0 is the first step in that direction, at least for me.

  17. Glad to hear things are going so well! We use .NET and we chose it for a) ease of implementation and b) availabity of SQL Server Synchronization compatibility with Windows OS mobile devices. For a start-up using something ‘off the shelf’ is easier/cheaper than building a web services interface and having to test the holy $%#7 out of it.
