  • DVE Telepresence

    Looking at LinkedIn the other day, I ran across a familiar name (I must be getting old, but, I think I remember them from like 1999, 2000?), DVE Telepresence,  and decided to take a peek at the videos. NOW…you know me….I think driving to a room to sit in a meeting with a bunch of…

  • Radvision Scopia Mobile Video Conferencing

    How in the world did this escape me?  Here is some info on the Radvision Scopia Mobile app for iPhone and iPad. Those of you who know me, know that my dealings with Radvision go W-A-Y back .  As we were developing the ESnet H.323 architecture (starting in 1999), Radvision was there with us.  Eventually,…

  • Starleaf Personal Telepresence Demo

    Starleaf Personal Telepresence Demo

    Update:  Old (well not old…longtime) friend, David Maldow, wrote a more detailed article on Starleaf here. Google+ friend CZoli posted a link to this video demo of Starleaf’s Personal Telepresence application (damn, we were FAR ahead of the time…see the ORIGINAL Personal Telepresence here). The person running this demo is old friend Will McDonald.  I…

  • Amazon Kindle Fire

    Today, Amazon introduced the Kindle Fire tablet. I watched a few news reports and to summarize: The Kindle Fire is fast using a dual processor, it can run Android Apps but you gotta get them from Amazon (not a bad thing). One analyst says it is NOT an iPad killer since the Kindle Fire is…

  • 8×8 Video Conferencing in the Cloud

    8×8 Video Conferencing in the Cloud

    Update September 2023: Consider this a HISTORY lesson in videoconferencing. I still have the 8×8 units in the garage. 🙂 Surfing the Internet for some information on Polycom (my next blog entry on Products and Services) I ran across the mention of 8×8 cloud based video conferencing. Knowing 8×8 from WAY back (see the picture above…

  • Sept 11 2001 and Video Conferencing

    Sept 11 2001 and Video Conferencing

    September 11, 2001 (Originally written for ForCarol.com) Lori’s mother’s birthday started out just like any other day.  I was just getting up, Lori was already getting Kristen ready for school, Sunny (our currently 11 year old yellow lab who now has a tumor that is scaring us) was bouncing around as only he could do.…

  • Steve Jobs Resigns

    This is scary.  I would not be concerned if he wasn’t sick, and stick thin.  But… From my perspective…this is a guy who changed the world more than once, more than twice, more than three times.  Simply awesome. He is not afraid to innovate, to try something new, to make it easy, to make it…

  • BlueJeans Network: Cloud Video Conferencing

    UPDATED: 5/25/2020 Ah yes, I remember it well.  I remember the day when I had to order an ISDN line at home (remember 2B+D?) to attend a videoconference from home (hey…I practice not just preach telecommuting!). Then, what seems like a short time later (and after ATM and Token Ring fell by the wayside…) we…

  • VUDU Now Streaming on the iPad

    ++Originally posted on ForCarol.com++ If you have read our Movie Reviews on this blog, you may have run across the fact that we sometimes watch movies on “VUDU”.  As an engineer, and blogger, several years ago, I tested a new Internet-based streaming technology and LOVED IT!  That was VUDU (see my original blog post raving…

  • Vidyo on the Apple iPad2

    Damn this is great!   Friend Czoli from Vidyo shared this on Google+ today. I have said this a thousand times before: Video conferencing anytime, anyplace, anyone. Vidyo (see my getting old review of Vidyo here). — —
