I am not quite sure where this week went, simply insane trying to get caught up for the week I was out and this has been the week of early morning meetings. But you have to make hay while the sun shines. Studio to clean, but the corporates taxes are off to the accountant and that is a good thing.

What an incredible trip I share all the details and a big round of applause for Kirk in stepping up and doing the show while I was out. Some really nice emails to him as well on how he did. Little rough back in the saddle show for me, but I will be here all the way up to NAB in April

SpaceX and Starman completely made my day and I 100% geeked out. I still cannot get over the images from space of the Tesla Roadster and the Starman who was wearing a real Spacesuit with a Mannequin inside. You have to hand it to Elon Musk. Also of note, I found out some incredible info, I was not aware of about salary collection information by Equifax and other.

Still on the hunt for two writers and I am also considering finding a permanent guest host that can fill in while I travel. Good suggestion by one of our Ohana members. Details on the show. I will be extending my Orlando stay a couple of days so that opens up my chance to go to KSC a bit more while the rest of my gang is at Disney.

The big launch by SpaceX is today and I am really excitted to see if the Falcon Heavy makes orbit. Elon Musk says its a 50/50 chance.

I am not sure why I did not think about this before and maybe I am not alone but remote controlled cars and trucks may impact the trucking industry even bigger than what I assumed self driving vehicles would. The new studio setup is really making a positive impact more than I thought it would.

Well, big changes here in the studio and it may have been Intel’s fault. You should watch today’s video for the first 15 minutes or so as I take you on a tour of the studio, unlike anything you have ever seen here. Plus lots of great listener feedback from previous shows.

I talk quite a bit today about the failure of Beme and someone I admire Casey Neistat and my disappointment on what I heard today and the hard truths about running a business. Plus an absolutely shocking story that has me nearly speechless. I’m serious you are going to be outraged, shocked and in disbelief of what some companies allowed a Russian Defense Agency do. On the road to recovery but your geek is at 100% task saturation again. Such is life.
