telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

Instacube - My Next Gadget

June 29, 2013  /  jules kivell

Sigh, I have been waiting about 8 months now for Instacube.  It's one of those neat-o Kickstarter projects that was a victim of its own success. It's a wireless picture frame that interfaces with all my various photo sharing apps. So, of course I'm going to want it.

Instacube raised over $600,000 with their fundraising. That's a LOT of hardware to build and ship. Globally. They ran into challenges with volume requirements, and then with how to ship them globally...

The latest update is that I might finally get my hot little hands on an Instacube in the next few months. I'm almost wishing I bought three of them --- since they would make pretty neat Christmas pressies --- but that would be over $300 to bank on something that's already 4 months delayed....

Still --- I'm looking forward to it! Reviews when it finally arrives!!!
