Trash or Treasure: De-cluttering That Preserves The Memories
Do you have a "memory box" filled with treasures such as a corsage from your high school prom, your Girl Scout badge sash, old Valentine's cards, a napkin from your wedding, ticket stubs from your first pro ball game, or your baby's first shoes? While this "stuff" may look like junk to others, to you these mementos represent precious memories, the story of your life - what I call the "family fortune".
Email – Victim of its own success?
Email has become the de facto standard for collaboration.Unmanageable volumes of business- and non business-related email are hampering worker productivity and increasing email storage and maintenance costs. We end up spending a good portion of our days in managing, sorting, filtering and organizing our emails. So, has email become a victim of its own success? Are people over stretching and abusing the email system? Is there a solution to this mess?
The Trouble with Beta Invites
I get a lot of invites to trial new beta program/services/products, etc., and I only have time to try a subset of them. It amazes me, however, how many people invite me to try something, without actually having a succinct, benefit-driven way of telling me why I should bother.

More than 70% of all e-mails are spam - that's 53.8 trillion per year! Spam is projected to cost $130 billion worldwide in 2009.

The data storage prayer

Airport Parking, Tiered Storage and Latency
Ok, so what do airport parking, tiered storage and latency have in common? Based on some recent travel experience I will assert that there is quite a bit in common, or at a minimum an analogy. What got me thinking about this was recently I could not get a parking spot at the airport primary parking ramp adjacent to the terminal (either a reasonable walk or short tram ride) which offers quick access to the departure gate.

Original Footage Vs. Digital Video Copies
As a video forensic expert, I want to examine original video when it is submitted as evidence in litigation. When anyone makes a copy, they have the discretion to copy only the video they feel is relevant instead of all the video recorded regarding the events that actually took place. It is crucial to preserve the original footage’s multiple views of the incident in case of necessary forensic examination. If I can prove scientifically that the original footage-needed to view the facts as they originally occurred-has been intentionally deleted, then I have served a purpose in that litigation.

Recession Proof Real Estate
They’re often called recession-proof – steady investments that are inexpensive and easy to maintain with consistent profit margins. Not to mention, they’re one area of real estate that seems mostly unaffected, if not helped, by current rough market conditions. They’re storage units and people always need them. And all across the country, with a growing population that provides a constant supply of people in transit and in need of storage, they’re shooting up everywhere. Storage facilities require relatively low building and management costs.

Introduction to Self Storage Development
Self storage has seen some dramatic changes over the last few decades it has been in existence, especially in the last 15 years. In 1993, there were approximately 21,300 self storage facilities in the United States. Today, that number has more than doubled, with industry experts reporting roughly 60,000 facilities. Those facilities comprise more than 1.7 billion rentable square feet of storage space.

Looming Commercial Real Estate Crisis offers Huge Opportunities in Self Storage.
With the looming commercial real estate crisis due to distressed debt investors, self storage facilities and other properties that can be converted over to climate controlled self storage are going to be a hot investment in the coming years.
Technology is So Passé … It’s All About Fashion
We looked at the stuff at CES...at CTIA...at NAB...at all the shows and media coverage. There was an epiphany (gotta love that word). The PC/CE/communications/content industry isn't about technology...it's fashion! It's what's hot...what's not. Notebooks...no netbooks...no smartphones...no ebooks...no tablets. Local storage...centralized storage...personal storage...cloud storage. Your next product, service can be hot, cold, dead in a month. We flip faster than skirts rise and fall. There are no bold , ah ha predictions here but at least you'll know why you change phones, computers (whatever) more often than you change cars. What's it gonna be tomorrow? Don't ask the buying public(s)..invent it!!!! -- borrowed from John Doerr (come on what do you think fashion is? Right creative borrowing!).

Building a Self Storage Facility
All Across the United States, entrepreneurs are talking about the self storage business. The word is out that investing in the mini storage business can be very profitable. And it’s not just the experienced investors that have their eye on the Self Storage Business prize. With lower building and management costs than virtually all other real estate investments and a failure rate of around 7 percent, the self storage industry is drawing first-time business owners and investors alike.

Self Storage Feasibility Studies
So you’ve decided to get into the self-storage business by developing your own Self Storage Facility. Well the first step should be to locate a viable parcel of ground to develop. However, many investors find that determining an adequate site is a little more difficult than they imagined, and perhaps, should be done with the aid of an independent third party. Why? Because a feasibility study, conducted by a professional, will provide an in-depth analysis of the location to determine if it is viable for Self-Storage.
Content … Keeping the Old Gals Around for a Few More Years
It was great to see all the new capture, production toys at NAB. The camera, production board, software had the content people -- Katzenberger, Moonves (CBS), Carey (News Corp), other major/minor players -- huddling around all their new high def and 3D stuff every minute the show floor was open. When the lights went out and all that content was sent back to the lowly under appreciated storage systems. The same was true of the consumer/prosumer capture/production products that were displayed. The only difference is the storage devices were smaller. In addition to 1-5GB solutions lots of people use the more compact 500GB-1TB storage units that incorporated advanced security technology. Cameras, software, people get their names in lights but when was the last time you saw a 5TB storage unit listed on the film's credits.

Storage -- Worry About It the Day After Tomorrow
We finished this analysis on storage types/applications over the weekend and Apple decided to finally talk about all their new devices and everyone (we mean everyone) jumped on the tablet bandwagon. We'll look at the area shortly but right now we can only say every bit of storage folks can make/ship is being used...then some! Right now let's look at the leading storage offerings -- flash, hard drive, clould (don't let em kid you the cloud is still hard drive). But only you can determine which storage option is best for you in each of your applications -- work in progress, valuable, super valuable, irreplaceable. Weigh the costs/risks and store accordingly. Don't wait till the Day After Tomorrow.

Self Storage Investing Webinars Can Hold Valuable Tips

Besides e-books and white papers about self storage investing, there are also webinars that can be great resources.
