Back on with blogging...
I'd been super buried in stuff which is beyond belief, and lately I realized I didn't have any means to connect or share with tech community at all. Soon after I converted my regular blog rapidblog.com into rapidBOOKS LP, I'd been struggling with the idea of where to post. And yes, I had this domain for a quite sometime now and why not put it to use, and ultimately this is my name and my blog! Duh!

Information overload. Networking over-rated. Where are we headed?
I keep hearing that networking is a crucial element for any business or consultant to survive and thrive. And then I see a lot of 'invasion' and 'information overload' in the form of pointless and useless updates, who's connected to who, tons of forum posts, etc. etc. And all this makes me think, do I really want all this hassle in order to be able to grow my business or network? Haven't we gone from a 'simplinostic' to a very-nostalgic form of network communication? Who's got the time to skim through all this information floating on the world wide web or the clutter being collected in my inbox every hour? Do I really want to follow someone on Twitter just to find out they landed in Chicago from their nice-weekend getaway trip to Miami? Really? How can we simplify this network exchange? How can we make it so easy for a busy entrepreneur so its easier to live a normal life for him or her? Aren't we concerned where we are headed? Aren't we concerned about this information overload?

Apple. Innovation. Style. Class. Value for money.
I am just blown away by the latest iWork'08 and the very new Numbers application by Apple. Is Apple the only company in the world which packages innovation, style, class and value for money all in one? I'm also amazed to see the enhancements made to iLife'08. Shouldn't all the companies be innovative and creative like Apple?

Calgary Open Source Group
I recently created Calgary Open Source Group (COSG). You can learn more about the group and its objectives at http://calgaryos.ning.com. The idea is to bring a flavor of Open Source into the Oil City. There is tons of proprietary stuff happening here, but I think its important to learn & experience for Calgary's large technology community and companies about the open source software and revolution.

The Open Source & Web 2.0 - Overused and overrated
I believe in open source. But, there have been too many events around open source in past couple of years that it is hard to believe that open source is not another commercialized entity. Companies posing themselves and based on open source technology in turn aren't really open source in their products and offerings, and this brings an interesting and questionable point at times 'what's cooking behind those open source company doors?'. How many companies can we list that work towards the actual cause and benefit of open source, and also serve the underlying principals and foundation of open source? Most companies today are focused on how to make money off of the open source buzz, get funded and attract venture capitalists.
