  • Favorite iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch Audio Editing Apps (October 2011)

    I received a request from Lorelei Loveridge, who I met last week in Doha, Qatar, asking for a list all the apps I use on my iPhone and iPad. Fortunately this isn’t an extremely time consuming list to share since I’ve been using Appolicious for about a year. ALMOST all the apps I use along…

  • Reflections on Unlimited Petroleum Wealth from the Persian Gulf

    I recorded this video on the edge of the Persian Gulf on Saturday morning (yesterday) in Doha, Qatar.

  • Sunset over Doha [video]

    Local time in Doha, Qatar, is eight hours ahead of U.S. central time.

One correction to my video: Our conference is sponsored by Qatar…

  • Unusual and Tasty Breakfast Buffet Items in Qatar

    This morning in Qatar our hotel breakfast buffet had several unusual items which caught my attention. First of all, there was delicious hummus served in small cups. It was wonderful on warm pita bread! This was some of the best hummus I’ve ever tasted. Smoked mackerel wasn’t something I was expecting. It was fishy (not…

  • YouTube Aggregates Videos Shared on a Blog

    Here’s a great new feature of Google and YouTube I discovered today: For some blogs (not sure how they discriminate) Google is automatically aggregating all the YouTube videos shared in posts. Here’s my channel. These channels are “subscribable” using a YouTube account like a “normal” channel. This is a nice feature, and demonstrates how content…
