Cloud Gaming and the Death of the Console
Console gaming has been my favorite way to pass time since a Super Nintendo found its way into my house in the late 90’s. My brother and I would stay up all night side-scrolling our way through virtual worlds and crashing 8-bit race cars. I still dust off my old Nintendo 64 when it's time to settle things the old-fashioned way-- Super Smash Bros. 1v1 (no items). If you know, you know. If you don’t, don’t worry. By the time you catch up on the history of at-home gaming the next technological disruption will be in full effect. Console gamers are notorious for getting in online arguments about why the PlayStation controllers are better or why XBOX is a faster console. Some fans seem to live for this discourse. Little do they know; within 5-10 years the console will be another relic in the archives of gaming glory. As long as humans have a need to play, smart people will be creating ways to do it faster, stronger, cheaper, and more beautifully. New technologies will continue to be developed and businesses will continue to bring us services to leverage them.

Reflex Media and the Strange Content Phenomenon
If you and I grew up around the same time you might remember when Finn the Human found a pair of magic glasses and learned everything about the universe. Finn’s following words, “Everything small is just a small version of everything big,” is just one example of the number of truth bombs sprinkled throughout the wildly popular series, Adventure Time. The fact that my wife and I still watch this show and that it has become the favorite bedtime ritual of our 4-year-old son speaks to key pieces of what defines Reflex Media, this tidal wave of brand-new genres of content that are being devoured by masses of millennials and Gen Z-ers.

Unsung Heroes Always Sing
This isn't about a kid who started with a dollar and a dream and struck it rich, however this man has brought us diamonds and gold. This isn't about a photographer who captures breathtaking images of his environment; this man shares beauty by lending his eyes. He doesn't paint fabulous murals but instead hands the paintbrush to those in pain and whispers, "reveal yourself."

Celeste
Black velvet, silky, dark, she moves between the raindrops, not wet but not dry. She maintains a balanced relationship with the shadows. Darkness gives liberally and takes what it needs. She silently pays each transaction, inhaling the void, exhaling pain -- spilling her breath upon those of whom she’s spilled blood, carnal energy vibrating gently through her long, wispy eyelashes. Calm chaos throbs patiently in her fingertips. With snake-like seduction, poisonous provocation, the young warrior stalks her prey unconsciously. The pitch-black ink of her gaze always leaves a fortunate stain. Slicing silence, removing reality, absorbing all, the panther woman smoothly sinks her curved claws into your unassuming soul.
