Engineering teams have super secret code words for projects and our codecs are named after Cats. We’ve used Cheetah, Panther, Bobcat, Jaguar, Tomcat, Alleycat, [...]

My mind is in Samoa this morning in the aftermath of a Tsunami that hit there yesterday. There are many confirmed dead and many more missing.
Samoa is a beautiful country. My family visited friends in Independent Samoa back in 2000. We had such a great time exploring the two islands of Upolu and Savai’l.

We’ve come a long way…Huh?

A co-worker sent me a link to The Videophone as Imagined in 1910 post on Gizmodo last week.
We really have come along way and one thing is for certain. The devices of tomorrow will continue to amaze us with even higher levels of immersion and realism. Ubiquitous Video will be realized.
I especially liked the 1927 [...]

Three Things – Part 3

I’ve talked about Twitter and the Kindle. Today is about making decisions based on data and not emotions.

“Seek not to know the answer, but to understand the question.” I can’t find who said this, but it’s very true.

Three Things

When presenting I try to limit the key messages to 3 things. That way I figure I have a shot at somebody remembering at least one of them! Today I’m going to talk about 3 products that I’ve been experimenting with since the beginning of the year, Twitter, the Kindle, and Mint.

Fathers, Families, and Video Conferencing

At LifeSize, so much we do and write about is business related. But that doesn’t mean we don’t love when LifeSize systems change lives on a more personal level. In honor of Father’s Day, I have two such stories to share:

Everything is Amazing, Nobody is Happy

I started this blog with a tongue in cheek posting about the perils of travel. Tonight I find myself at 35,000’ aboard an on time flight to Boston. Let’s see, did a little work on my computer, read some on the Kindle, watched an episode of “What about Ted” on the iPhone, and talked with the guy next to me about building airplanes. He’s about to test fly his Lancair 360 that he’s been building for 10 years.

2.5.2 … Are You Kidding Me?

This week we posted our latest software release on the Lifesize website, version 4.1, build. Like most software releases it adds some features, fixes some bugs, improves stability and in general makes things work better.

  • About Me

    Most of my time is spent working hard on the latest in high definition video communication technology as the CTO of LifeSize. Outside of work, I watch a bunch of high school baseball games and go on the occasional family trip. I used to be a lot more active! Traveling in our RV, flying around with my airplane buddies, riding off road motorcycles, boating on Lake Travis, playing rec sports and hiking. But lately, I watch a lot of baseball. I reside in Austin, TX with my wife, teenage son, and our pets (2 dogs + 1 cat).
