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.

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.

Net Neutrality is Dead! So now we as consumers need to make sure we hold the Internet Service Providers feet to the fire. I share a lot of stories tonight in between the content and you will get to hear the insight on what the Spectrum team showed me when they come to check my install. Also, the studio is now one camera away from being a fully IP based studio. I think I will be on the first podcasts in the country to be a 100% Newtek NDI solution.
