One of the big misconceptions of my exploits as a blogger is that my interest is self-serving. I understand that the URL is my name and yes, "the dude actually has a logo" lol, talking about this always makes me smile. It does because if you spend any time around me you would know that I am very pro-Caribbean in my outlook and I am always willing to share my knowledge to help out a situation.

Now for me, CoreyKGraham.Me is my "portal to the world". I see it as a domain where I can share my thoughts, ideas and experiences with the world. It is my hope that these posts will move the world forward, however small. My greatest pleasure actually comes when one of my blog posts helps people who I would not normally touch make more informed decisions, whether it is with their marketing strategy or their next smartphone purchase. My drive is to help others and to do my part to enhance this world.

Having said all of that I want to invite you to become a member of my site and subscribe to my newsletter so that I can continue to share with you. To be quite honest my decision to do this membership / subscribe to my newsletter drive is to set up the platform to offer freebies and discounts to you as the opportunity arises. I'll so no more you decide if its of value to you.

Alrite so get involved,

SciTech Expo Barbados 2010 Gets Going This Week

Science took over much of my younger years. When my peers were caught up reading novels, I was into the science books exploring and reading about great inventors especially the "light bulb man" Thomas Edison. He is one inventor I really respect. I also was into creating things. I always had some new project I was working on putting together or experimenting with when I should have been doing homework or studying to get an A instead of a B.

There were some good times, I remember borrowing my mother's face mirror to make a solar cooker and staying up till 4:30 am writing code for my computer game among many, many other  things. Not all of my experiments went right of course … like the time I got a new science kit. I was all excited intoxicated but all the new ideas and possibilities filling my head. Immediately I started to experiment. I remember the last thing I tried on that first day of receiving the kit was removing my night light from the socket and putting wires into the wall socket…. Before I continue let me just make it clear that my night light was only used because of security concerns from my parents. 

Now, about that final experiment of Day 1 of receiving the science kit. Actually I made an equation which captures what I learnt brilliantly. It taught me -

wires + wall socket + small fire + burned wall socket = unhappy parents + l,

where l  = licks to impart a lesson imparted by my loving parents – don't get caught experimenting

My experimenting today, is most publicly apparent on this blog. Those of you who are longstanding readers of my blog would know that it is a constant evolution, there is always something new. I would say though, that in the Caribbean we don't always get to be on the creative side of technology as most of our technology is imported and maintained. Personally, I believe in creativity and innovation and I believe that we have alot of potential in this area. As a result, I am happy to be involved with the online promotion of the SciTech Expo In Barbados through Drenalin Productions.

Today, I want to remove the official hat and talk to you outside of professional allegiances, because too often we limit creativity to music, dance and visual arts. If you believe that creativity and a spirit of innovation should exist in our Caribbean Community, make some time to become involved in the SciTech Expo if even as a guest interacting with primary, secondary and tertiary students, professionals and other like minded persons.

You can

  • share it on Facebook
  • put it in your status
  • tweet about it
  • mention it to interested persons

See you later this week! Come and see exhibits in the area of agriculture, computer science, engineering, environment, medicine, health and technology

The Blackberry Storm 3 / Talladega Slider Or Just Plain Slider!

February 18, 2010 By Corey Graham 2.0 View Comments

Its amazing,

Its truly amazing to see how the Blackberry smartphone has been able to reach such a high level of adoption. I remember just about 5 years ago when I had just bought my first Blackberry, not many people in the Caribbean knew what it was. I found myself like a Blackberry Road Show doing mini presentations almost everyday show people what the blackberry could do. To those who already knew about Blackberry, it was my "claim to fame". I was the guy with the Blackberry. I didn't realize how serious it was, until or as one person described – it was the ultimate status symbol. 

Those where not the reasons for my purchase but they were some benefits that I welcomed with open arms. My main motivation for getting it was to have access to my personal email accounts while on the go. My work situation and lack of access to my personal email accounts was killing many a business opportunity for me. 

Today though, Blackberry has been able to reach an 80 % or more penetration in the Caribbean … at least according to RIM VP of Sales Peter Gould in an interview he did with me a little while ago. Now with all the specials the mobile providers in the Caribbean have given us on Blackberries since that interview Blackberries penetration might be reaching up to 90%!!!! 

Today, having a Blackberry in many industries is expected.  Not having one is just not understood. Its unthinkable. The Blackberry messenger in particular has literally become the window to the world while you are travelling or on the go. How life can change!

What Is Next For Blackberry?

As an avid user, I would personally love to have a Blackberry which has touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard. In the conclusion of my review of the Blackberry Storm – I said it was missing the "beloved Keyboard". Since then I have found myself wishing for a keyboard option from time to time. I miss the convenience of being able to type while looking away from the device. 

I posted a blog post about such a Blackberry being available in 2010… A "Blackberry Slider" to be exact. Since then its been generating some serious interest on this blog. It seems now to be dubbed the Talladega / Storm 3 / Slider. Judging from the response it seems like there are many of you ready to own one right now. 

I am curious though what would you want in that phone?

Personally I would like

  • to install unlimited apps or almost unlimited apps. (this could actually really help me in my Social Media Management)
  • a better browsing experience
  • support for video conferencing via skype
  • A better camera – i will be forever asking for this the photographer in me
  • Strong Video support to stream almost anything on the internet
  • More battery life

I think this would make it a very good fit for individuals as well as business people alike.

Let me just tease you .. here is the CEO of  RIM (Blackberry) Presenting a Keynote at the World Mobile Congress a NEW BROWSER IS COMING!!! 

 

What do you want in your next Blackberry? Or What would make you switch to Blackberry?

 

Working Smart,

Blackberry To Launch Slider For 2010?

December 9, 2009 By Corey Graham 2.0 View Comments

Everywhere we look today there is a blackberry. When you join a line at the bank its not surprising to see everyone in the line with a Blackberry. I have been getting a tonne of requests to find out about what is new in the Blackberry World. Everyone is going on and on about the Bold2 and Storm2, however I wanted to look further afield to see what lies in the future for Blackberry. This one might just be a personal favourite of mine. Its going to be just what I have been asking for, a touch screen Blackberry with a full QWERTY keyboard.

There is talk about it being code named the Talladega, however the detials remain sketchy, but from where I sit I would love to get my hands on that Berry!

What do you think?
