It’s Not The Post-PC Era

It's more like the "multiple device" era. It's amazing to me that there are people who can buy into conspiracy theories like questioning President Obama's "real birthplace," but when it comes to this brave new world of technology that requires us to have multiple devices, no one is suspicious this happened on purpose

The Color Of Music

Color, the $41-million app designed to share photos with those in your immediate proximity, struck out its first time at bat. MyStream works much the same way, but lets you eavesdrop on friends and strangers' songs instead of pictures.

What work do you take on vacation?

The July 4th weekend is just behind us and I spent a good part of last week thinking about summer and how my expectation for work-free vacations might or might not be about to disappear with the launch of FamiliesGo!. Back when I had a staff job at a major business magazine I had an editor who asked me to miss an evening flight that would start my annual vacation to do an eleventh-hour revise on a story. Now, he'd known about my trip for well over a month and I'd filed this story several weeks earlier

Thank you, Scientific Research Diving at USC Dornsife

Today is the end of a series of dispatches we posted on our Expeditions blog - The 'Problems Without Passports' program at USC takes two experienced instructors and a number of students to do underwater research on the islands of Guam and Palau. I have immensely enjoyed working with the group and reading their posts and I hope you did, too. The posts, about half written by the instructors and half by students, covered a range of angles - from geography to politics, from history to policy, from ecology to conservation, as well as both educational and personal experiences from the trip.

Problems Without Passports: Scientific Research Diving at USC Dornsife–Last Child in the Reef

When I first got wind of the details of the Guam and Palau research diving program, I thought there had to be a catch. A program that so perfectly combined academics and passion for traveling seemed too good to be true. However, less than 6 months later that skepticism has been washed away and the trip is a reality…and an irreplaceably rewarding one at that.
