The Inevitable Path of Google Glass in the Workplace
March 16, 2013
Google's Project Glass — the tech giant's effort to create augmented reality glasses — should be available to regular consumers by the end of this year. The prototype has a long way to go, though — even Google co-founder Sergey Brin admitted last week that it's not "a done deal yet."

Power Up the Free Google Calendar
March 16, 2013
Google Calendar, available with a free Google account and also bundled with the fee-based Google Apps productivity suite, is an interesting product. While it is not exactly revolutionary in the way it handles online calendar management, there are features—such as easily creating and sharing multiple calendars, the “quick add” smart appointments, and the option to make calendars public—that make it intriguing. Those who use Google Apps for Business will have the best experience in terms...

Google+ for Businesses
March 10, 2013
This post has two parts. Part one is an inforgraphic that my colleague, Stephen Fairley, shared on The Rainmaker Blog that explains 7 benefits Google+ provides for business. Part two is a video that explains the benefits of using Google+ instead of Facebook. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses. Although I would counter, using both gets your business out in social media more fully, which translates into more business. Fairley states: "Google+ is one of those social media...

Elections Whiz Nate Silver Fails to Predict Oscars. What Went Wrong?
February 26, 2013
Silver failed to predict the winners of Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. He picked Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) and Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln), respectively, but the winners turned out to be Ang Lee (Life of Pi), and Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained). So how did the predictor of 130 million American voters fumble when it comes to the 6,000 odd members of the Oscars Academy?

Review of Picture It Settled® Software for Negotiation
February 26, 2013
As a lawyer, a district judge and now as a mediator for many years now, I have always sought out useful technology tools to make the process work better. I have seen parties use static Excel spreadsheets and midpoint analysis to try to project settlement numbers, but the negotiation process is much more sophisticated than that. At SMU Law School in Dallas, I teach a survey course on alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”). The course includes segments on negotiation, mediation and arbitration....
