  10. We all have those moments where we’re seated at the computer without an activity lined up. Maybe we’ve just finished up some work or just made a purchase at an online store. We stare blankly at the screen and ask ourselves, “What now? Should I go read a book? Should I do some cleaning around the house? Or should I toss myself down into the rabbit hole that is the Internet?” Let’s be honest: most of us choose option three. The Internet provides a nearly endless stream of interesting content and mindless distractions, and if you have time (and aren’t picky about how it’s spent), you too can fi
  11. Before long, our cars might drive us. It’s a cool idea–but are we ready for the cybersecurity problems that entails? As we’ve brought more of our lives online, the looming threat of cybercrime has grown ever more prominent, as has the risk that human error will see sensitive data fall into the wrong hands. Today, it seems like it’s impossible to even turn on the news without hearing about a new cyberattack, a new type of ransomware, a recently-uncovered data breach, or some black hat cyberespionage incident. And the bad news is that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. See, we’re o
  12. In the month since the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal began dominating the headlines, we had Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg testify before Congress, learned that the number of affected Facebook users increased to 87 million, and have seen a growing number of people participating in the #DeleteFacebook movement. While I’m not happy about the way the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal has played out, I have decided to keep my Facebook account, at least, for now. Nonetheless, the folks over at Blind, an anonymous work talk app that lets you discuss things anonymously wi
  13. Marketers have an opportunity to learn more about successful branding every time Google has a new initiative. In fact, the company’s entire evolution makes a successful case study. The brand has a name and a logo which are known to more of its billions of worldwide users. Moreover, the entire Google logo history contains some essential branding lessons many should learn. Being one of the most powerful online brands in the world, Google has stuck to a few branding principles throughout the years. Visual communication matters, so its logo has improved until it reached a peak of interactivity, f
  14. I’ve written about web hosting services before as finding good web hosting for your site can be a challenging thing to do. The web hosting market is extremely saturated, there’s so many options out there which can make it difficult to weed through the bad hosts and find the good. I recent stumbled across an interesting new web hosting provider that uses the power of Google Cloud to offer web hosting services. The company is called Templ.io and I’ve been testing their services for over a week now and I have to say I’m impressed. Getting started with Templ.io The team over at Templ.io have buil

  16. Since it was released in 2009, Bitcoin has had a dedicated following of people who believe in the cryptocurrency. However, last year (2017), was the year when Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (such as Ethereum and Ripple) really went mainstream. The price of a single Bitcoin went from around $1,000 to almost $20,000, making some skeptics rethink their stance on cryptocurrencies. Since then, the price of Bitcoin has cooled off a bit, but is still hovering around the $8,000-range for one Bitcoin which is crazy to think when originally you could buy a single Bitcoin for a few cents (that’s quit
  17. So you want to start a business and need help figuring out how to get that startup cash? Here are seven funding sources to raise capital to start your own business. Savings This is the simplest source of funding for entrepreneurs kickstarting a business. This way is safe and effective as it won’t leave you in debt if your business fails.

  18. Records of contracts and transactions are defining structure of economic systems. They exist to protect assets, verify identities, set boundaries in organizations. These records also govern communications among organizations, individuals, and nations. They also guide social action. But in the digital world, the ways to regulate and maintain control has to change. Blockchain technology is the core of bitcoin and other virtual currencies. It is an open ledger that records transactions between parties efficiently and in a more permanent way. Furthermore, you can program the ledge to trigger aut
  19. We all aim to be well off financially, but for young adults that are just starting out in the working world, becoming financially stable can seem long ways away. As students transition into responsible citizens, they quickly find that making money and keeping it isn’t as easy as they had hoped. Moving Towards Financial Maturity Admittedly, most young adults are quite clueless about how to handle their money, so they go about learning the hard way from life’s experiences. While one certainly can learn valuable lessons from trial and error, there is a better way to learn how to handle one’s fi

  22. There’s a reason many students choose to live on campus while attending college — the truth is, enrollment in higher education can take up as much time and energy as a full-time job.
