Late Perspective on CES

CES is a couple of weeks over, and the Internet is filled with articles about the best of, worse of, and trends; but it is never too late to put in my fifty cents. While I didn't get to see as much or attend as many conferences as I would have liked, it was still a very exciting time. My biggest take away: connected TVs are the next frontier.

Holiday Break

This week I've been taking a break from work (with some interspersed conference calls every now and then) to try and gather myself for all there is to come in the next year. These are exciting times, where companies no longer wonder the value of digital products and simply demand how fast can we get them to market. It is a dream come true for digital product developers only clouded by the stress that speed to market puts in our lives. 


But who are we kidding, we love pressure, and my break is just some time to get out of the things that I don't care for so I can focus on the ones that matter: building. Our roadmap encompasses monthly releases of multiplatform products of the utmost quality, so stay tuned as I post information once available. If you are a Shaw customer, your are in for many treats in 2012.

YouTube will be the end of conventional Television... NOT!

Okay, I am not saying YouTube.com doesn't offer a great product that has come to stay. I find it amusing like almost everyone else and see its value as a new form of entertainment for some, and a form of expression for others. What I find hard to believe is that this library of non-sense videos will ever be a threat to conventional television. And I extend this belief to all forms of online video as they exist today.

Thinking that quality produced entertainment can be threatened by low-end, one man, non-scripted shows is our typical sensationalist reaction. But in reality, how much more can you watch of a crazy cat staring at a ball?
