The witching hour is upon us. Ghosts and ghouls fill the streets. Zombies walk side-by-side with princesses and superheroes. Their mission the same: Spook and scare their neighbors in hopes of scoring enough candy to sustain them for the next year.

Technology can be your best friend and your worst enemy. Have you ever “replied all” to an email when you meant to reply just to the person who sent it to you? Has your phone ever pocket dialed your high-school sweetheart or the FBI? The “oops factor” in tech is always looming, so make sure […]

About three years ago, I first started writing about artificial intelligence and the various applications of such. And since then, there’s been much to write about: Starship robot delivery services (introduced to me by the team at Greenberg Traurig), Google (Waymo) self-driving cars, Watson from IBM diagnosing illnesses, various AI legal aids for lawyers, lobbyists […]

Electrical linemen descend from helicopters, balancing on steel girders 90 feet high on transmission towers in the mountains of central Puerto Rico, far from any road. At the same time, crews fan out across the battered island, erecting light poles and power lines in a block by block slog. A month after Hurricane Maria rolled […]

Blue Origin rocket company founder Jeff Bezos is never one to let his arch-rival Elon Musk entirely dominate headlines, so as Musk’s SpaceX prepares the first-ever launch into space of a used Falcon 9 rocket Thursday, Bezos must have figured it’s time to offer a sneak-peak at his company’s planned crew capsule. Leather seats. Giant […]

SpaceX announced Monday the company has plans to send two private citizen astronauts on a trip around the moon in late 2018.
