Google Profiles
Hmm ... not sure what to make of this one. That said, with the impending "land grab" I went ahead and grabbed mind (http://www.google.com/profiles/115363259745004880791).
It seems that the intention of Google profiles is to mess together your online persona.
Key in your basic information (Name, where you have lived, where you have worked, etc.) think attach URLs for your favorite social media sites.
In my case, I added in my linked for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and my blog.
This got me thinking a bit, you really need to stay on top of what the internet says about you. Over at Lifehacker, there was a recent post regarding "The Importance of Monitoring Your Online Reputation".

Book Review: The Elegant Solution
I recently read "The Elegant Solution: Toyota's Formula for Mastering Innovation
" by Matthew May. This book really hit home with me and I was able to implement a few of the key ideas from the book in my business life almost immediately.
I am in the professional services business, so while it is not my official role to build products; this book has shown me the light … everyone within an organization is responsible for that organizations “product”. Weather that “product” is a physical good, a service sold to customers, or even an administrative “service” that is “sold” internally.
If you an individual contributor stuck in a job, a manager stuck in the day-to-day or an entrepreneur looking to build the next iPod, this book is for you.
Some key points from the book:

Some key points from the book:
- Discipline and Creativity are not mutually exclusive, the creative process can be enhanced through control
- Leverage conflicting goals to invent superior products and services (Do more with less)
- Baby steps are generally more effective then radical change
- Build solutions that will solve today’s problems
- Innovation requires all people in an organization, not just the folks in R&D
- Reflection is critical for growth

Great AppExchange Video and Presentation
I came across this video, featuring Guy Kawasaki, from the Salesforce Developer conference back in 2007. If you have ever thought of starting your own SaaS company, this is definately worth an hour of your time.
The slides can be found on www.scribd.com here,
and the video can be found on the Salesforce website here

Wonderful Remote
I have been a long time BlackBerry user and I must say that over the past few months I have been envious of my fellow-tech-peers that use iPhone. Since the advent of mobile email years ago, the Blackberry has lacked any significant "killer apps"
Seeing my friends get cools games and apps has gotten me down...until now. Wonderful Barn recently released Wonderful Remote for the Blackberry and it is downright cool.
Now I can control my TiVo using my Blackberry and even do difficult tasks like entering a text search without going through the painstakingly slow manual process. Check out this short video, then head over to http://www.wonderfulremote.com/.
