By now many people are at least vaguely familiar with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. A conceptual token, exchanged only over the internet, which supposedly holds real value. Bitcoin alone has risen from a value less than a tenth of a penny twelve years ago to a high of over $50,000 in 2021, and there are many other cryptocurrencies out there with similar astronomical rises. Now the world is starting to notice.
I originally wrote this article for my local newspaper. How do you explain something as complex as a groundbreaking technology that’s completely shifting commerce and economics in a thousand words…
My team is in the process of building something that’s pretty freakin’ cool. The only thing holding us back is a bit of ambiguity on what we are actually building.
Sounds crazy, right? Simply put, we’re trying to get ahead of a trend by introducing a product that not all of our customers know they need. But we’re still scratching our heads on exactly what to build and how best to build it.
We know the basic problem we’re solving from a high level. The question is how far we want to take it with each component. AKA what is…
The world is becoming increasingly aware of 5G as it is rolled out across the globe in 2020. As the fifth generation of cellular technology, 5G touts increased speed and connectivity, promising to connect people and devices to each other more than ever before. One of the key components that is consistently quoted regarding the availability of 5G is “low latency”. But what does that actually mean? We’re going to cover the meaning of latency, technologies responsible for improved latency in 5G, and what industries actually rely on low latency.

Latency is a measurement of time between an action and…
You started a business to build a path to freedom. Why does it feel like the exact opposite is the case?
Every single business owner on the planet agrees; scaling and managing a business is a ton of work. That does not mean all of it is necessary.
Truly successful business owners, those that have built sustainable businesses that can operate without their presence, are particularly adept on just two things: maximizing net income, and reducing the amount of personal time required.
There are four things you can do right away to build sustainable businesses.
It starts with organization of…
5G is coming, and it’s promising to affect industries from gaming to agriculture and from retail to public safety. One sector that is often mentioned but generally understated is real estate. There are numerous effects, both direct and indirect, that 5G will have on both commercial and residential real estate. We will first cover the technological changes that make 5G different from cellular previous generations and then outline the effects on real estate.
5G simply means “fifth generation” of cellular technology, and with that comes not one, but multiple technological advancements. These advancements and changes provide lower latency (learn more…
Since humans began practicing agriculture thousands of years ago, technology has consistently changed the way society has farmed. From rough hand tools in the BC era, to the cotton gin in 1793 and McCormick’s reaper in 1831, technological advances have made it possible for humans to grow and produce crops much more effectively.
It can be difficult to discern at times, but technological improvements are still advancing agriculture across the world today. …

By now, you are likely at least vaguely aware of cloud computing. Everything is in the cloud. Want to store your pictures from your iPhone so you’ll have them forever? Sync to the cloud. The ability to share a trip itinerary with five of your friends and all edit the document at once? Edit on the cloud.
Cloud computing has come to play an integral part in our daily lives, whether we realize it or not. Much like how the internet changed the way we communicate and share information, cloud has taken that to the next level of connectivity. …
We’ve grown accustomed to hearing this: “Support the local economy”, or “Shop Local”. This, quite honestly, used to have an entirely different meaning to me than it does today. I would remember to make the occasional purchase, maybe of a shirt or a Christmas gift for a relative, and give myself a pat on the back. I’d shopped local. I’m supporting the local economy. However, the true notion of supporting the local economy goes much deeper than this.
The point of this writing is to show the amplified effects of shopping and investing locally, and show how you can make…
