You Sleep When You Die

From the time I was a kid growing up in New Jersey, I understood what winning was all about. Whether I was playing football in the street with friends or an organized game of football on a field, there was always a winning team and a losing team. When we played in tournaments, I understood that only the winning team deserved a trophy at the end of the tournament. It didn’t matter whether you were in second place, third place or fourth place. There really is no second place in life: you either win, or you lose.

As you read this article, please understand that I am in no way endorsing the release of information that could potentially put American troops, our covert operatives, or any of the other great Americans serving and protecting our country and its people in danger. Just like Julian Assange, I believe there is certain sensitive information that can and should be kept confidential. However, there is other information about which the American people have a right to be informed. I am a firm believer in the right of free speech, as long as it doesn’t jeopardize our country, any of its people, or any of the great people serving our great country.

You may not have heard of it before, but chances are you have now. WikiLeaks has quickly become a topic of many water cooler conversations, thanks to the leak of nearly 92,000 classified U.S. military documents earlier this week (92,000 docs? Are you serious??)

The New York Times app is awesome. It’s actually my favorite right now – I use it multiple times a day. It’s well designed and user-friendly – unlike a lot of other newspaper apps currently available – and it’s FREE! It’s obvious that the NYT recognizes the importance of having an outstanding app. Instead of just slapping something together for the sake of saying they have an app, they went ahead and invested a significant amount of time and money into developing an outstanding one.

This makes me wonder why more companies aren’t doing the same…

I’m clearly not alone in my fascination with the iPad. According to a recent article in Fast Company, Apple just sold its three-millionth iPad, just 80 days after it first went on sale in the U.S. Experts are calling the iPad revolutionary, claiming it will forever change the way we use computers and consume media…

If you read my recent blog entry, you know that the way we consume content (i.e., reading) is changing quickly. What you might not know is the way that content is developed (i.e., writing) is changing just as fast.
