Product Life Cycle, Wireless, Texas Longhorns, Podcasting, and other stuff
Product life cycle re-explored
Barb Pellow of Kodak had a column in OnDemand Journal about the product life cycle and the concepts expressed in the book "Crossing the Chasm." http://www.ondemandjournal.com/specialfeatures/pellow27.cfm I quickly sent her a note that she had the product life cycle all wrong.

Wireless, all through the house.
Wireless gives new meaning to being "well-connected." Having a home office, I work everywhere and anywhere, and it's great being able to connect anywhere in the house, from the intergalactic headquarters located in the dungeon in the basement, to the deck to the second floor bedrooms. When we built this place 15 years ago, I thought we'd network it, but it was going to cost $10K, so I didn't. I'm glad we didn't. Wireless will now become as common as plumbing for new housing.
