Website Technologies, Idle Musings, and Cocktails
Jan 15 2010
In thinking about what key pieces of technology make up a great website, I went to my teammates to collaborate. When the team at eROI was asked “What piece of technology is strongly underutilized?”, I anticipated people to almost exclusively mention website-related technology. This is eROI – this is what we do; that seems like a logical assumption, right?
Boy, was I wrong. Although several website-related references were mentioned, it appears as if other pieces of technology are underutilized more and noticed more poignantly. These non-website items could use an upgrade according to my eROI cohorts. And, since random bits of fun are a cultural staple around here, I threw in a few other questions into the mix to keep us on our toes.
I’m curious to see what your take is on these three questions. How would you respond?
- What is the most underutilized piece of technology out there?
- If you have a half-hour to kill in between meetings, what do you do?
- What’s your favorite cocktail to make at home?

This is such an awesome post! For technology, I am loving all of the new image replacement typeface stuff that has been happening in the last couple years. I want to see more of that!
If I’ve got some spare time to kill I like to catch up on graphic design, interior design, and fashion blogs.
My favorite cocktail to make at home is champagne with Pama pomegranate liqueur.

I finally thought of my answer to your first question Mary! It only took me about 5 days to come up with it. The most underutilized technology (in the States anyway) is high speed rail! Yes, I am a total transit nerd. But think how wonderful life would be if we had a rail system like they have in Europe. You could go practically anywhere sans-car without having to rely on Greyhound or Amtrak (which just doesn’t go to enough places).
My answer probably wouldn’t have fit into your video. :)
Great post by the way!

I soooo agree with you Jill. We really really need more high speed rail here!

[...] a huge WordPress nerd. When Mary asked “If you have a half-hour to kill in between meetings, what do you do?” I promptly replied “Read blogs about WordPress. Which are written using WordPress.” [...]
