Well friends, this is our 300th golden episode! It’s hard to believe it’s been that many. It’s been an awesome run and we’re super excited about hitting this milestone. We talk about Kickstarter Gold, SpaceX double launches, ARKit examples, golden ages, Snap getting into maps, moving the navbar on your phone, Kalanick getting booted from Uber’s CEO spot, and Intel getting out of low end processors. It’s a great show and all the links are below.
In this episode we take a surprising twist and beat up on Apple for not updating their hardware. We also commend Instagram for copying Snapchat. What is wrong with us!? See below for all the stories and their links.
Kickstarter funded 100,000 projects! To celebrate they shared 100 amazing facts! We also talk about the Crunchies, Face Swap Live, Moore’s Law, gravitational waves, Snapchat, and Amazon’s Lumberyard. See below for all the show notes.
Standalone apps were all the rage at the beginning of the year. Now they’re suddenly dying. Virtual reality seems poised to be all the rage next year. Will they also experience a quick death (like the hoverboard), or will they be around for the long-haul?
In this special episode we chat with Rod Miner of Winnowing Fire on his journey of taking an idea of a christian music album and turning it into a reality using Kickstarter. His story sheds light on the ups and downs you feel while pursuing your dream.
We also chat about his social media evolution and the details of actually getting your song listed with all the online music directories. It’s a fun story we think you’ll enjoy.
Now Kickstarter is an IPO that would be worth backing.
