Back in Oz after the 3D Congress

Sorry for the lack of posts, even I need some down time occasionally. The 3D Congress in La Jolla this past Friday & Saturday was an incredible success.Every day that I use and explore the technology in my practice, I'm blown away. However, the big thrill is seeing others having the same game changing experiences on a daily basis as me. Truly we're in a time in dentistry that we'll look back on at some point & remember...

Gizmodo iPhone 4G Fail

Click to enlargeSo here we have an ad on Gizmodo playing off the stereotypical college graduate who has an extremely refined taste in beer and is also aimed at their fathers who are looking to buy them something shiny, new, and expensive.

When it All Seems so Simple...

At my talk yesterday at the 3D Imaging Congress, I had the good fortune to be introduced by my friend Dr. Larry Emmott.

Role of the Enterprise Architect

I have read several blogs over the past few months arguing over the role of the Enterprise Architect. Architect and architecture means many things to many people. Here is my opinion of what an Enterprise Architect (EA) is. The EA is responsible for understanding the business mission, strategy, and processes and creating an IT technology strategy that enables the business to meet its goals. In other words,...

Nokia E73

Nokia E73 Mode's design is quite similar to the E72, not that we have any complaints, since we loved the E72's form factor. Nokia E73 is incredibly sleek at 4.5 inches tall by 2.3 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick, making it easy to slip into a pants pocket and comfortable to hold as a phone and messaging device. It's relatively light at 4.5...

Samsung Restore SPH-m570

While it may claim similar eco-friendly properties as Samsung Reclaim does, Samsung Restore SPH-m570 looks a bit more like the Rant.

Despite its recycled ingredients, Samsung Restore SPH-m570 feels sturdy, and we like its overall oval shape and curved...

It's a great idea. Store...
