As the father of an 11th grade student, I am watching my oldest child explore where she will want to attend university when she completes her senior and final year of high school.

May 21, 10:00PM
In the tech world, everyone aspires to “kill” something. At least, that is what you would think from the media coverage. “The death” of gamification. Of cable. Of video games.

May 21, 5:35PM
It’s pretty odd hearing a not-for-profit organization like Mozilla talk about how it wants to help advertisers strengthen the conversation between brands and its users — especially given that I’ve never met anybody who wanted to have a conversation with a brand.
