Denver DataMan uses technology all the time but what do we really Love? If you haven't already, check out these, the top 10 technologies that we love - we think you will too!


1. Google Maps
Now not only can you find directions to and from a place; you also know what that place looks like before you get there. Here is the link to Google's new experimental features.

Behind the scenes at Internet Central, chapter one

I consider myself a technology junkie. I would be surprised, for example, to find someone who actually uses the Yellow Pages when twice as much information can be had in half the time online It's just so easy... as the user, that is.

I've been with Denver DataMan for exactly one week and am just beginning to find out what it takes to get the right information to the right people at the right time... and to make the user think it's easy. Thank goodness it's Friday because my brain is full!

Cisco Englewood Customer Briefing Center Experience

This past week I went to the Cisco Englewood Customer Briefing Center with my KidsTek class.  KidsTek teaches disadvantaged youth computer skills that they will need to be competitive in their future educational and career paths.

Making Technology Work For You

This blog post is an abbreviated version of the presentation I gave at the 2010 Resolution Expo. I am sharing my presentation in this format because I felt that those who attended were able to get empowering information and hope that readers of this blog will do the same.

In the presentation I covered the role of technology, discussed that one size does not fit all and looked at tools to consider.

Service Businesses SEO

Service businesses have the perfect opportunity to take advantage of search engine optimization. The creation of a thriving service business is a result of differentiation. Being found on the Internet is about creating content that Google can pick up, index, and share with someone who is looking for that content. Because you are differentiating you can write blog posts like this one that discusses how your company approaches a given problem.

Getting Ready for 2010

Remember ten years ago? Were you scared that your computers might all die at January 1st 12:00:00:00:01 2000? Many were and for good reason but the appropriate actions were taken and crisis was adverted. This year there is no crisis to avoid or planes to doge as they fall out of the air but there are certainly things we can do to get ready for the approaching New Year.

Here are five things that Denver DataMan wants to share with you as we enter 2010.

30K Feet

I am writing this blog post on a jet flying from Denver to New York. Not only am I writing it, I am posting it. I think it’s amazing that we have made it possible for us to work anywhere we are. By the same token we must ask if this is a good thing.

I would suggest that it is a very good thing to be able to work from the air. I am working from the air so I don’t have to work on vacation. Better I work on the jet and be productive than I work when I am on vacation.

Drupal Being Used by the White House Website

Denver DataMan uses a system called Drupal for our web development services. We are excited that the new White House website is using Drupal.

Supporting Arapahoe/Douglas Works!

Denver DataMan has been fortunate to begin teaching at Arapahoe/Douglas Works! (ADW!) Workforce Center. During these tough economic times Denver DataMan is teaching basic computer skills classes to unemployed and underemployed adults. ADW! has been offering courses to help individuals in the Employment by Design program to have the skills in order to be gainfully employed. The courses that Denver DataMan is currently teaching include Microsoft Word Fundamentals, Microsoft Office Fundamentals, and Resumes & Cover Letters in Microsoft Word.

Content Management - Maybe it’s like Brussels sprouts?

Recently I was talking to a new potential client and they told me that content management is like eating their vegetables. They know it is good for them and their business but they don’t want to bother with it. This may sound like a tangent but recently I discovered that I love Brussels sprouts which as a kid I at least assumed I hated. Maybe, just maybe content management is like Brussels sprouts?
