Many times we come to this show, whether it sounds like it or not… relatively prepared. The topic is clear, the message has been more-or-less thought through, and the banter, well, nothing can stop that from meandering… 

Other weeks though, it’s just not that easy. Tech is funny because it honestly orbits around the gravity of several “big” moments throughout the year. CES, Unpacked, WWDC, etc. The in between parts… well that’s akin to good old fashioned exploring. Every so often you come across a major moment in the industry that seemingly came out of nowhere… but a lot of the time the big players are doing their thing, the smaller players are looking to disrupt them, and “we the user” are still just looking for our “smart” assistant to consistently turn the lights on and off while maintaining more than one cooking timer…

Well, if you can’t tell by the rambling the even found its way into the intro… welcome to an in-between-week! There’s no central story or focus because, honestly, the entire industry (and close behind it the rest of the world) is still grappling with our last topic… See remember that RAM shortage we talked about? Well just a week later it made its way into the non-tech headlines and the next thing you know stock markets are adjusting, news rooms are spinning up, and everyones now talking about… what we already talked about. 

All I’ll say is buckle up, this one really goes places…
