When thinking about the risks of connected transportation or driverless vehicles, the worst-case scenario is always: What if the car goes out of control? But now we have a worse one. What if the car is under someone else’s control? Thanks to this recent test of a Jeep Cherokee, we now know that over-the-air hacking […]
A Foggy Day in Vegas Town
Fog Computing is an interesting animal. It’s new-ish to the IoT industry, but it’s probably making bigger waves than any other innovation rolling in, since the cloud itself. The proof is in the market itself. Cisco, which recently signed on as a Diamond sponsor of the IoT Evolution Expo Fog Computing conference, is making big […]
Audition for AT&T
I’m coming to you with a repeat topic, friends, but don’t worry: I have new information. Look. You have an idea. It’s a big idea, or a revolutionary process, or a key component that will speed or smooth a technological innovation. No matter what your IoT idea is, you need to get it out there […]
Demonstration Man
Have you ever been to a country fair? You know the kind: where there’s a midway on one side, full of carnival rides and the faint smell of cabbage, and an animal ring on the other side, with the not-at-all-faint smell of horse apples. Well someplace between the two there’s usually a tent or other […]
Street Cred.
Conferences are about two things: learning and doing business. At many conferences, however the learning component is pretty amorphous. You take notes or gather slides from sessions, and get inspired by keynote speakers, but what you want is something you can take home, put up on the wall and brag about to your boss. Enter […]

The Power of an Event
In my previous gig, I was the editor of a publication that covered the event marketing industry and in my more than five years immersed in the world of marketing, events and tradeshows every single bit of research and reporting I did on the subject pointed toward one truth: the power of an event is […]
Why Should I come? A Free Association In IoT
A friend was asking me why people should go to IoT Evolution Expo in Las Vegas, August 17-20 instead of his favorite association show. It’s a fair question, and in many industries the associations are fantastic at projecting the values of the industry and protecting their members from regulatory harm. When it comes to IoT, […]
A Pitched Battle: AT&T Fast Pitch Comes Back for Second Season
One of the highlights of last year’s IoT Evolution Expo was the AT&T Fast Pitch competition, which brought together some of the best and brightest minds in IoT development to pitch their ideas head-to-head for a shot at $10,000 in funding for their idea and a tablet. Well, the AT&T Fast Pitch competition is back […]
My Connected House, is a Very Very Very Fine House
I am neither Crosby, Stills, Nash nor Young, so I apologize for the headline, but it still fits. Connected home is coming. It’s the most consumer-facing segment of the IoT. Even connected car is more invisible because many consumers don’t know or don’t care that their cars have telematics, let alone how to access them. […]
