Build Better Ideas
Larry Ellison was at it again yesterday, making friends, influencing people and pissing off rivals. It was AWS in the keynote earlier in the week. Yesterday, it was Splunk, a seemingly innocuous logging software company, which somehow fell into Ellison’s marketing cross-hairs. The company took serious exception. Splunk is best known for logging all events related to IT. Ellison announced… Read More

Google has new AR stickers coming to its Pixel devices, with rollout set to begin later this year. They use Google’s ARCore, which is designed as an easy way for Android developers to bring augmented reality experiences to device users. The AR stickers are built right into the camera app on the Pixel (when they make their way out via software update) and they can be selected like any… Read More

In the first Crunchbase Women in Venture report (April 2016), our goal was to establish a well-defined baseline against which to measure future progress of women in the venture business. As 2017 draws to a close, Crunchbase re-applied the methodology from the 2016 report to see what progress, if any, might be measurable. Here are the somewhat encouraging results from that analysis.

Optoma has released new fully wireless headphones under its ‘NuForce’ audio sub brand, the BE Free8 earbuds. These are like Apple’s AirPods, requiring no wire to connect them, and they connect via Bluetooth to any device.

In a continued effort to pass on any responsibility for the largest data breach in history, Equifax’s recently departed CEO is blaming it all on a single person who failed to deploy a patch.
Hackers exposed the Social Security numbers, drivers licenses and other sensitive info of 143 million Americans earlier this summer by exploiting a vulnerability in Apache’s Struts software… Read More

Judge William Alsup has ruled that the Waymo v. Uber trial would be delayed until December 4. The trial had been expected to start with jury selection on October 10. This gives Waymo additional time to review new documents associated with the Stroz report. Waymo has been pushing for the delay to account for the mountain of materials in need of review surrounding Stroz’s due diligence report. Read More

As a member of the Data Generation, I’ve found that my photos, videos, and documents quickly expand to fill their containers. A standard USB drive is quickly replaced by another, larger one while home network file servers fall by the wayside as they get full, old, and dangerously lossy. In short, it’s time for the big guns. That’s why I was pleased to try out the Netgear… Read More

Founder Director Krystal Hess and her Austin, Texas based Motorcycle Missions team are on a mission to help those suffering with PSTD and to STOP SUICIDE.
In their own words (source – www.motorcycle-missions.org)
We are a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation helping individuals who deal with PTS(D) and suicidal ideation find hope and healing through motorcycles.
At Motorcycle Missions we understand that much of the post traumatic stress (disorder) paradigm is that the need for purpose, camaraderie, and adrenaline is of the utmost importance. Our hope is to encourage our audience to instill a life-long passion for motorcycling, that will help them enjoy a happy, healthy, and balanced lifestyle after trauma.
After years of abuse, Krystal found a new lease on life through motorcycle therapy. “Every part I was putting on the motorcycle, I was putting back a part of myself.” Now, see how she’s using the power of bikes to help save even more lives. #KeepRidersRiding ”
In 2015, Krystal’s custom-built 2006 Suzuki Savage LS650 was featured in the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in Austin, TX. She claimed the People’s Choice award for her 1982 Yamaha XS650 in the 2014 Harvest Classic Vintage Motorcycle Rally in Luckenbach, TX, and received the same honor at the 2015 International Motorcycle Show’s Biker Build Off in Dallas, TX. In 2016, her 2015 Indian Scout took 1st place in the Guys vs Gals Bike Build Off by Indianmotorcycles.net in Daytona, FL. The same bike was featured at the 2016 Handbuilt Motorcycle Show, and won 1st in its class at the ROT Rally 2016 Biker Build Off in Austin, TX.
Krystal considers herself blessed to have the support of so many people who have taught her everything about building motorcycles, the industry, and the riding experience. She may not be alive today nor could claim what she’s accomplished without good moto-people and mentors in her life. This is what prompted her to start Motorcycle Missions. She wants others to experience the therapeutic benefits that come from motorcycles and the riding community, and hopes to see others blessed and healed.

As a true clotheshorse I love to lay out my outfits a week in advance and ensure that all of my sartorial choices are on, as it were, fleek. But not everyone has that skill or the time and those people should try Cladwell. Created by Blake Smith the app first tells you exactly what to buy – a selection of regular items that you can use forever – and then gives you permutations… Read More
