Travis Rodgers Talks Broadcasting, Jim Rome, and O.J. Simpson
Radio host Travis Rodgers knows a thing or two about broadcasting. In addition to producing the extremely popular Jim Rome Show for years, Rodgers went solo for the Yahoo! Sports Radio show Travis Rodgers Now, which took a lighthearted look at the ludicrous nature of sports culture. Currently doing pre-game and post-game analysis for the...Sharing the Future of Work
Mahatma Gandhi called upon us to “be the change that you wish to see in the world.” As our economy continues to integrate people who see full time employment as a thing of the past, the Future of Work (FoW) is rapidly approaching. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or something in between, one thing distinguishes the...4 Innovative Investment Apps for Millennials
Millennials don’t have to be on Wall Street to be stock market rock stars. With smartphones, investing can take place anywhere in the world – even in the comfort of your own bed while you're watching Netflix. Recently introduced investment apps have programmed systems that create portfolios based upon your personal...Top 3 Wearable Trends
To say that wearable technology is taking over our lives is an understatement. By 2018, the global wearables market is expected to be worth a cool $19 billion. Many of these devices come in the form of fitness trackers and activity monitors, but it isn’t all about keeping tabs on your health. Wearables have advanced into “do it...Artistry Through Technology: 3D Printed Instruments
How will 3D printing shake up the industry? Well we know there is a certain romance in the process of crafting an instrument. Expert luthiers have been transforming wood into complex musical forms for thousands of years, and for some, the traditional processes are hard to let go of because of the meditative relief that comes from the...Super Mario Run Review
Super Mario Run is a pretty momentous app, not for its gameplay or ideas, but because the single most recognizable video game character in the world has made his mobile debut nearly a decade after smartphones changed the world. And, as a huge fan of the Mario series and looking at my phone alike, I’ve been pretty hyped up for the game....Masha Gordon Climbs the World
Who says a family and a career mean an end to adventure? Not Masha Gordon, the businesswoman and mother of two who just became the fastest woman ever to complete the Explorer’s Grand Slam. For those not in the know, the Explorer’s Grand entails climbing all of the Seven Summits (the highest peaks on each continent) and trekking on...Women Innovate! Hitlist's Gillian Morris
Gillian’s idea for Hitlist was sparked by her own travel experience. She moved abroad at age 18 to teach English and dabble in other work. This experience proved to be life altering. For instance, she happened to be in France during a time of high tension with the U.S. (following the Iraq invasion). To her surprise, the attitude...Vladimir Kush and the Binary of Art and Technology
The relationship between art and technology has always been an intimate one. The more tools in your kit, the more artistic options you have. As Vladimir Kush says, when he first came to America after working as a painter in Soviet Russia, he had to get used to being equipped with more than just a “rat’s tail” for a paintbrush....Improving Smart Home Security
Without even darkening the doorway, someone has burglarized your home. And there were no broken windows, no crowbars, no ski masks or vinyl gloves – just a smart home hacker with a digital key to, say, your fancy new thermostat, toaster, or TV. So-called smart technology might be making individual home appliances more connected, but...The Problems with Smart Home Security
The Problems with Smart Home Security are complicated. Without even darkening the doorway, someone has burglarized your home. And there were no broken windows, no crowbars, no ski masks or vinyl gloves – just a hacker with a digital key to, say, your fancy new thermostat, toaster, or TV. So-called smart technology might be making...A Classical Musician's Take on the Synthetic Symphony
This past Christmas, I joined the multitude of Star Wars fans in the theater to see the long awaited addition to the saga. As the bright yellow title flashed across the screen and the famed scrolling text began, I experienced the sensation that can only be described by a cliché: i.e., chills ran down my spine. However, this reaction was...
Safe Travels, Boaty McBoatface!
Boaty McBoatface is off on its maiden voyage. The autonomous underwater vehicle left Punta Arenas, Chile on March 17 and headed to the Orkney Passage to help scientists from the University of Southampton and British Antarctic Survey with their research. The passage is about 500 miles from the Antarctic Peninsula and plunges some...
Why You Should Give Justice League a Chance
The other night, after over a year of putting Justice League off and overall forgetting it existed, I finally rented Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. When the movie first came out, it was a lightning rod of criticism, with many disappointed fans and a depressed Ben Affleck personifying the reception of the film. But what did I, in my...Patrols, Pizzas, and Paparazzi: How Drones Are Changing the Workplace
There seems to be a common opinion that the dawn of drones means that many jobs are in jeopardy. Fearing a dystopian, jobless future, we have gained a bit of cynicism when it comes to our future-flying-robot-coworkers. However, is that warranted? Drones have already shaken up the job market. In fact, according to Business Insider,...California Seeks to Steer the Driverless Car (off the road)
The scene is California, specifically Northern California, home to Silicon Valley and some of the most aggressive automotive regulations in the world. The hottest technologies on the market revolve around the autonomous car concept. Google has had its custom self-driving Lexus SUVs running around for years and has augmented them with...
