If you’re one of the 23 million Americans who’ve had a package stolen from their doorstep by a “porch pirate,” you’ve experienced the frustration of a missing package and the hassle, delay and expense of trying to replace it — if it’s replaceable at all.

This is a little specific, but interesting – a popular platform for sharing (free and paid) 3d models for use in CG work has made it easy to create a model and how it looks in one program, and their system auto-converts it to the other programs. Neat.

First Segment: Thirty Third Parallel. Derek Smith, Founder.

Thirty Third Parallel was founded by two ambitious and entrepreneurial brothers-in-law that share a deep-rooted calling to seek all forms of adventure. What was once a friendly face and fun conversation at family gatherings became a strong friendship that started in California years ago and converged in Dallas, TX. We hike, we camp, we ride, we hunt, we fish, we explore – we live! We have lived in small towns and big cities, traveled across continents and done some really awesome things along the way.
