Watching more TV by watching less TV
I’ve been having a lot of conversations about TV audience in the last few days and how that has changed over time. TV has been one of the most static technologies of our time.

A Starbucks Experience
In the beginning of this blog, I promised I would pay tribute to my foodie self as well as my tech-obsessed self (thus the biverbal tilt of the bytes.) Nerdy, I know.

A true addiction. A true...
