The Mobile Phone and You – Part One – The Past
You know you’re old when you tell people you remember in your not-too-distant past when cell phones weren’t a part of our lives. I tell my kids this and they just give me this look like, ‘you’re a relic, dude’.
Then I go into a diatribe about my world as a kid – no videos, no video games, no personal computers, no voice mail, not even a touch tone phone. Yes, maybe I am a relic, but I’m holding it together through a regular diet of healthy eating, exercise and progressive house music – but I digress.

Augmented Reality [AR] – Tagging the World
I’m sure we’re all familiar with tagging photos. Through the likes of Facebook and Flickr, it’s become something that even the techno-neophyte can master in a matter of seconds. User-generated tagging has become critical to the growth and systematic categorization of the massive amount of content that now makes up our digital world. And crowd sourced tagging goes well beyond social media channels – it’s critical to organizing our entire digital world – from movies to music to shopping to research – keywords have become core to finding the proverbial digital needle in the haystack.

Impromptu BBQ
FGI CEO, Nate McLaughlin, decided to go out, grab a bunch of food and have a BBQ for his rockstar employees today at lunch. See the photos below. We had BBQ chicken, potato salad, a variety of locally grown fruits and salad. A nutritious and delicious break from the normal Monday work.
Next time you're in the neighborhood, come by. Nate is always looking for the opportunity to show off his culinary skills for clients, partners and employees.

The Top 5 Reasons Why WordPress is taking the CMS Lead…
1. Free! As an open source software platform, WordPress is free because it’s been developed by a worldwide community of developers, who do it as a hobby and because they love the open source spirit. Yes coders can be a little crazy but just as lovable! Not only WordPress itself is free but also most of its themes and plugins are free, which means that you can build and scale your WordPress website easily and inexpensively as your needs expand.
