Phil Simon is the author of three books: The New Small (Motion, 2010), Why New Systems Fail (Cengage, 2010) and The Next Wave of Technologies (John Wiley & Sons, 2010). A recognized technology expert, he consults companies on how to optimize their use of technology. His contributions have been featured on The Globe and Mail, the American Express Open Forum, ComputerWorld, ZDNet, abcnews.com, forbes.com, The New York Times, ReadWriteWeb, and many other sites. When not fiddling with computers, hosting podcasts, putting himself in comics, and writing, Phil enjoys English Bulldogs, tennis, golf, movies that hurt the brain, fantasy football, and progressive rock—which is also the subject of this episode’s book contest (see below). On this episode of OCDQ Radio, Phil and I discuss his fourth book, The Age of the Platform, which will be published later this year thanks to the help of the generous contributions of people like you who are backing the book’s Kickstarter project. |

Good job, Jim.
Enjoyed the conversation. Proof that even idiots like me can enjoy smart talk by guys who are infinitely smarter than me!
Thanks for your comment, Randy.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the conversation. Although Phil is a naturally smart guy, I am just a guy who sounds smart thanks to the careful editing and post-production of a recorded conversation :-)
You're both smart cookies. My philosophy: surround myself with smarter folks than I. Seems to be working.
