I just realized that I don’t really use “out of office” replies anymore. In the past few years I have upgraded to a smarter smartphone, acquired a tablet, and upgraded the networking in my house. The result is that it is increasingly uncommon for me to be in a position where I can’t triage email [...]

The 2012 SharePoint Conference kicked off this morning with a lot of energy and a 10,000+ crowd. Of course the bits have already been released and documentation has been out for months, but this conference is about “seeing is believing” and getting the messaging around the new version. And it only took about five minutes [...]

In my June posting on thin style over ergonomics (Breaking News: iPhone 22 to Double as Razor) I extrapolated that the iPhone would be as thin as a Schick razor by 2029. But Apple has revved up its sharpening stones faster than I thought and accelerated the decrease from 5% to 18%. This changes my [...]

Some who own SharePoint or other collaborative systems have asked what they should see at the conference, so I’ve curated an informal virtual track for attendees interested in SharePoint, collaboration, or intranets. For SharePoint attendees, [...]

Well, I’m working from Starbucks this morning to enjoy the rapid response, creativity, convenience, and productivity boost that we are told will result. One enabler of mobile work is [...]

Many of the ease of use, form factor, and responsiveness promises made by mobile devices and software providers depends on an important underlying assumption: that you are consuming textual information way more than you are creating it. Sure, you may snap some photos, like/thumbs-up/+1 some stuff, and email or IM a sentence or two, but [...]

Many clients are asking about how to develop mobile custom applications, create mobile front-ends to existing applications, secure their mobile content, select mobile devices, craft mobile policies, and manage the devices. Those are all very good questions to ask and critical to supporting the needs of flexible, distributed organizations and workers. But what about mobile [...]

Travelling to London for our PCC conference last week I realized I had forgotten my laptop when I got to the airport. After a panicked moment thinking how I could get it (time to go back home? have someone else drive it to the airport? have it shipped to London?), I realized that for the [...]

I have been reading articles about how it may become standard for workers to bring their own technology equipment to work, but I’m wondering how the ergonomics of a consumer device may work against task workers. The high-end consumer equipment I see generally involves spiffy new devices that have users typing on glass, using touch [...]
