Last Friday morning, at my London Heathrow Airport hotel, The Times newspaper was placed at my door.  I kept a two page spread article from inside the newspaper that was titled "Going Mobile Is The Way Ahead".  I don't think anyone would disagree about the impact that mobile devices and app development are having in our world.  Would you?  What really caught my eye (I love infographics and statistics) was the page full of results from a 2013 UK Mobile Online Shopping Survey done by IMRG/eDigital...

Today is February 29, 2012.  Leap Day!  I have arrived in Johannesburg for tomorrow's "RAD Studio XE2 in Action - Live" workshop.  I had a few minutes between arrival and our check of the venue, our slides and the demos.  We had lunch in Nelson Mandela Square in the Standton area of Johannesburg.  I had my picture taken in front of the benevolently smiling Nelson Mandela statue (click on the thumbnail to see the whole picture).

Fifty years ago, today, the Berlin Wall was built, separating the city into two parts.  I've been to the beautiful city of Berlin several times.  I was in Munich when the wall was torn down, visited Berlin when the new German government center was just a hole in the ground (with pumps draining the water our of the "big dig" site), and again last year for the Delphi Tage (Delphi Day).  In 1989, I remember watching TV and seeing people using sledgehammers, chisels, metal poles, cars, trucks, and t...

Today is August 6th, Hiroshima Day.  Sixty-six years ago, an atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima.  Three days later, another bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki.  Last year, I fulfilled one of my all-time travel dreams, and visited Hiroshima.  Seeing the atomic bomb dome, touring the museum, and walking around peace park was a wonderfully calming experience.  Visiting Hiroshima reinforced my belief that we must continuously strive for peace in our world, in our countries, in ou...
