Join My 2.0 Community

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

Explore And Make Light Work Of Your Day

November 24, 2009 By Corey Graham 2.0 View Comments

We are bombarded these days by several web apps claiming to "help" us do this and that easier and faster. Its hard to keep up with all the new stuff that is out there and still get your work done. I know how it is new services seems to be developed as fast as we receive emails. Talking about emails that is not getting any easier. We have more emails finding their way into our inboxes. And now you have more inboxes to manage with facebook and all the jazz.

Its almost like a natual instinct to militantly protect your sanity and stress levels. You refrain from rushing and trying every new thing people suggest to you. At times I know you can get pretty aggressive about and it can get pretty ugly pretty quickly.

"I said it don't what it. Why are you still trying to get me to sign up. I have to finish my work. I will talk to you later"

I want to urge you today to set some time aside and explore the world. Shop around. Test drive some of these new web apps. Expose yourself to what is out there. You don't really want to be working hard. Well not when you can be working smarter and getting more done.

At the end of the day technology here to make your lifes easier. We eat with forks, knifes, spoons etc. All technology that make eating easier for us. There are people out there experiencing the same problems you are and they are helping develop technologies that will know those problems go away or easier to bare.

Open you mind and dedicate a little time in your busy schedule to find out what is out there.

I would really hate to think that you and your team might be agonizing about a particular task that can so much easy with simple tools like google documents and other collaborative tools. 

Just how much of your precious time are you wasting?

CG 2.0 BB Software Review – Gpsed.com By Shape Services

October 22, 2009 By Corey Graham 2.0 View Comments

GPS is becoming a part of our life in the Caribbean. I know, I know, we don't have those cool navigation systems that are common place in the developed world. I believe though that with GPS capability becoming readily available to us via our cell phones, we have the leadway to easily and cheaply experiment and explore ways in which we can put it to good use.

I have done some experimenting with Google Maps and Google Latitude and Blackberry Maps. I found that the GPS technology itself works great, but we lack the information to be posted on the maps to make them more informative and much more useful. 

I can hear those you out there calling me a a technie, nerd, geek … you are there thinking we don't have much use for GPS in the Caribbean.
Here what, let me get on with the review and stick with me here. You get to express your opinion at the end in the comments section. 

Review of Gpsed.com

I have been experimenting with Gpsed.com for a little while now. Mapping Impressions. http://gpsed.com/

What Does Gpsed.com Do?

Basically it uses the GPS in your phone to track your movements while you travel from point A to point B. It then uploads this track in an online database where you can trace your track on google maps. You can also add your photos and waypoints to the track to make it more informative.

This is very similar to the Google My tracks feature only available on Google Android – check it out here -http://mytracks.appspot.com/

GPSed.com  is compatible with iPhone 3G, Nokia N95, BlackBerry Storm, Bold and other latest models, Windows Mobiles. GPSed is also compatible with a wide range of mobiles that can connect to the external GPS receiver via Bluetooth and with any gps receivers (like Garmin GPS, TomTom GPS and others) that can record tracks in GPX, PLT, KML and other formats.

User Experience 

I love the main page which is a simple screen displaying -

  • Speed 
  • Time/Duration 
  • Distance 
  • Compass (I love this feature)

I must make mention of the compass, I really like this feature! I have done alot of hiking and i know how convenient it would be to have your phone also be a compass!

I find that general interface to not be as intuitive as it can be, however its not hard to find you way around. 

Features

Waypoint – as you make your tracks, you can make way points that could signify landmarks on your journey. This is very easy to add.

Photos – you can add photos to your tracks as I mentioned before. I uploaded my geo-tagged photos to Flickr and they were automatically added to correct points on the track. Just a few clicks and it was done!

Privacy - You can easily set your tracks to private or public. This was a real help when I was making the map to my buried treasure.

Live Sharing – You can share your location live, or you can share your location while you are recording your track. There is also have the option to embed a small map on your webpage or blog that pin points your position, up to you if you want to do that!

SOS - I thought this is a nice touch. The SOS is allows you to send your location via email or SMS to the people u have saved.

Show your tracks and photos to your friends – You can share your tracks by simply making them public. 

Sharing Via Social Networks - there is facility to share you location using blogger, twitter, myspace and facebook. 

Click here to check out the track I recorded for you

In summary, I would say this is a great app. It would allow us to do alot of interesting things. Here are a few suggestions.

  • track hiking trails
  • public transport routes
  • track carnival bands
  • rally stages & rally cars at major rally meets. 
  • it might help with traffic?
  • directions for tourists
  • track a fleet of vehicles – check out GPSed.com Monitoring Service

There are lot of possibilities that can be opened up with this software.
