Analysis, Creators, Digital Marketing, Gadgets, Meta, Report, SEO Tips, Technology /
Meta’s smart glasses have been a PR headache for the company. Public backlash has been swift, and fierce; people are concerned about the erosion of privacy and expansion of surveillance. Some especially bad actors are using the glasses to film themselves “pranking” random strangers. Women have become unsuspecting social media content for men filming themselves […]

On a gray, humid Saturday morning in central Florida, a little under a dozen people gathered outside the Spring Hill Branch Library to protest the construction of a hyperscale data center in their community.

The Odyssey turned me into an IMAX believer

Analysis, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Film, Report, SEO Tips, Technology /
After seeing Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey for the first time early last week, I came away impressed, but somewhat conflicted about two of the film’s more fantastical set pieces. While those scenes were beautifully crafted and tremendously acted, there was something a little bit off about the way they hit my eye. I spent days […]

Index funds are touted as one of the safest ways to invest. Rather than picking and choosing individual stocks, index funds let you bet on the market as a whole. So what happens when a company like SpaceX – a giant gamble, and, in my opinion, terribly overpriced – is fast-tracked into the Nasdaq-100? Does […]

AI, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Music, Report, SEO Tips, Tech, Technology /

On July 19th, dozens of teams of high school students will begin a five-day, 630-mile road race from Fort Worth to Fort Stockton in Texas. But this is not your typical contest. The students design and build the cars themselves, using off-the-shelf parts and 3D printed materials. The winner is the team that accumulates the […]
