Notes, thoughts, links, videos and photos posted by me, Frank Gruber, while living a digital nomadic life in search of the latest tech innovations. I am building a company called TechCocktail.com, which offers tech startup events, news and resources. I am also the co-founder of a product called Thankfulfor - download the iPhone app - . You may be familiar with my old blog Somewhat Frank which I maintained from 2005 to 2010. I’ve decided to keep things going over here now and also on Tech Cocktail. Thanks for stopping by.
