Reflections on the use of Twitter

This last week I’ve used Twitter more than I ever have. Previously, I used Twitter solely as a news aggregation point.

The New Mobile Workplace and Classroom

Recently, I had a chance to visit the Aruba Networks headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Aruba is a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and provides wired and wireless network solutions that are only second in market share to Cisco in the wireless space. This wasn’t my first visit to the Aruba as I had attended an IT educational summit around a year ago when the campus first opened. Aruba likes to brag about the fact that Read more…
