Uber and Lyft Arrives in Carbondale, Illinois
Two of the biggest ride sharing companies, Uber and Lyft, have recently begun providing service in Carbondale, Illinois. The city of Carbondale has amended part of ordinance to allow Uber and Lyft to operate, but that amendment does not take place until April 1. This has resulted in fewer drivers on the road in March. With it being St. Patrick's Day, I hope the city would be comfortable for drivers to work on this holiday. After April 1, the two companies will have service widely available in Southern Illinois. One quick tip to using Uber and Lyft: download both applications,
Large-Scale Music Festival Developing in Denver for September 2018
Denver city officials and residents of Denver came together to discuss plans for an upcoming music festival set for September 2018. KDVR reported that the event is planned to take place at Overland Park Golf Course near South Broadway and West Florida Avenue. Residents and planners shared points of view about the festival. It is logical to want to have additional security and recycling programs setup for any large-scale event. AEG and Superfly will be promoting and planning the event. After covering events produced by their teams, I am confident they will do a professional job. Overland Golf Course is a short
Technology Trends Breaking Ground at SXSW Interactive 2017
SXSW Interactive provided multiple platforms for developers, designers and producers to learn more about managing digital content this past March 10-14. One way to find the upcoming tech trends and diamonds in the rough at SXSW is by going to the coding workshops and discussions. Keynote speakers will have more industry knowledge, but to find original ideas and a strong center of collective consciousness, guests will have to dive deep into interactive events. Hacking meet ups is an excellent way to network at SXSW. A popular trend that I noticed from one of the SXSW Interactive courses was the

Three Possible Upsets that Could Shake Up March Madness 2017
The NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament is going to get started this month with the men going head-to-head first. Teams from across the country will represent their schools in hopes of taking home a win in the final round of competition. For the past three decades, a large percentage of sports fans participate in a bracket style competition to pick winners for each game. Gambling is a serious issue, and should be treated. I am not suggesting that one needs to place a bet behind their bracket to enjoy the tournament. These suggestions are only suggestions. I used
