Periscope

I’ve talked about this before, but the latest surge in popularity for live video streaming apps like Periscope has reminded me of the digital clock I used to watch from my bedroom window late at night: …and when I was young, I’d look out my window at night. There was […]

Social Security

Bear with me. This post is a long one. I’m making some changes in the next few days and I wanted to take a few minutes to explain why. I don’t think it’s any secret that I have a day job — I work in Advertising, in case you didn’t […]
