Special Movie Screening + Mobile Distribution Discussion – Friday 8/7 @5:30PM
This is an interesting opportunity. The movie “Sleeping and Waking” was shot here in DC recently and is scheduled to release in October. Executive Producer Jeff Koepel has approached me with a desire to also launch the film globally on the iPhone, Android and Palm platforms. To help Jeff and engage in a potentially industry [...]
My TelecomHUB Presentation
I was asked to give a talk at the TelecomHUB executive mixer at TeqCorner in McLean, Virginia. I used live links to guide the discussion as opposed to anything scripted. Enjoy. – This is true if you fail to anticipate big changes. (all the time) – Ten years ago I gave a talk to Telecom executives in [...]

Time to Build an iPhone App
