The first day to the Facebook F8 Conference was held today. Overall I felt it lacked focus at demoing new products to get people excited about upcoming developments within the company. "We're making the camera the first Augmented Reality Platform." - Mark Zuckerberg The conference did shine light on social interaction within virtual reality. The Social VR application launched today on beta. Overall it looks cute, but has a lot of work to be done before it has a definable purpose. One major flaw I see in virtual reality shared experiences in general is compatibility. Users will need to have

Pilgrimage Music Festival locks down Justin Timberlake, Avett Brothers, and Trombone Shorty

By |April 17th, 2017|Categories: Entertainment, Featured, Festivals, Music News, National News, Pop Culture, Tennessee, The Revivalists, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , |

Pilgrimage Music Festival will be returning to The Park at Harlinsdale in Franklin, Tennessee on  September 23 & 24. After supporting the festival in the past, Justin Timerlake will be joining the lineup of entertainment this year. Overall, I find this to be one of the biggest, best and more breakthrough live sets of 2017. First, this festival is not a major corporate event. It might have a couple large name sponsors, but overall, the look and feel to the Pilgrimage Music Festival is relative to spending time on Main Street in your hometown. That being said, Timberlake could

YouTube vs. Spotify vs. Apple Music in a Three Way Fight for Market Share in Streaming Music

By |April 17th, 2017|Categories: California, Entertainment, Europe, Featured, Google, Music News, National News, Pop Culture, San Francisco, Tech News, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , |

Public demand has reached an all-time high for streaming music services. Recently, reports have surfaced showing how much each streaming service is paying artists. First, I want to note that it costs a lot of money to build, maintain and store servers that data is kept on for each company. When you download videos in comparison to songs, you will see a major difference in file size. That file size for one song or video is multiplied when we take in consideration how many people are using and uploading content. My solution to the music streaming service is creating

The Thirst Project is set to host the 8th Annual Thirst Gala on Tuesday, April 18 from The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. This special fundraising event helps build awareness to the global water crisis that impacts the health to millions of people. “It’s inspiring to see Hollywood coming together to extend a hand to the rest of the world where people aren’t as fortunate. All of our celebrity supporters, youth activists, sponsors and donors make ending the global water crisis possible. They are living proof that any one person can make an impact. Even a single drop makes ripples.”
