In Sunrise, Florida, a broadcast legend is being reborn. What once served as the HBO Latin America Broadcast Headquarters is now undergoing a new evolution — emerging as The Freedom Center, a Hemispheric Connectivity Nexus for AI, media, and enterprise infrastructure. Under the direction of Data Power Supply, the Freedom Center is being modernized, re-energized, and repositioned to meet the demands of the AI era — transforming a world-class broadcast facility into a strategic

You know that old story about the woman in the flood? She’s on the roof praying, convinced God will save her. A guy comes by in a boat and says, “Hop in.” She says, “No, I’m waiting—God will save me.” Then another boat. Then a helicopter. Same answer. And when it’s all over, she’s basically like, “Lord, why didn’t you save me?” And the reply is something like: I sent you a boat, and another boat, and a helicopter—what did you think I was doing? I’m not trying to get preachy h

Every once in a while, you walk into a building and can feel that it’s meant for more than it knows. That’s exactly what happened this week. Our team just completed a full walkthrough of one of South Florida’s most promising data-center campuses — a facility with serious bones, strategic fiber reach, and the kind of flexibility that makes it ideal for the new AI-driven world.This isn’t a speculative project. It’s real infrastructure, live power, and scalable potential sitting

Forget the hype, the frameworks, and the “AI roadmaps.” Here’s what actually works. Let’s get this out of the way: most AI “strategies” are theater. Decks. Demos. Buzzwords wrapped in billable hours. You’ve seen it. A consultant rolls in with a 70-slide presentation full of “maturity matrices” and “transformation frameworks.” They talk about aligning AI to business objectives, governance layers, and something-something operational synergy. And yet—three months later, your tea

Let’s just call this what it is. Everybody’s out here saying AI is going to “help people do more meaningful work” and “enhance productivity.” That’s the PR story. That’s the version for the public. But I’ve been in the rooms where the real conversations happen, and I can tell you exactly what’s being said behind the scenes. The first question out of a CEO’s mouth isn’t “how do we empower our employees with AI?” It’s “how do I get rid of my employees?” They might not say it th

It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s — that strange, in-between stretch where the world slows down, the clock forgets what day it is, and you finally have time to breathe. I was in Fort Lauderdale, grabbing lunch with my daughter, when I found myself walking straight into my own past. We were at Tate’s Comics — part art gallery, part geek cathedral. But right next door sits We Got the Beats, a record store that feels like a heartbeat from another decade. Vinyl walls

OK, so here’s the deal: Among the stuff I got for Christmas this year was one of those servo-motor kits. Five servos. A handful of DC motors. A couple of H-bridges. Basically, a little box of “make things move”  for adults who still void warranties for fun. Naturally, I cracked it open Christmas night — because what else are you going to do when you’ve got free time and freshly printed datasheets? I’d never really messed with servos before. I live mostly in the world of AI, i

(“Dare to Know.”) Two creators walk into a coffee shop.Yeah, I know — sounds like the setup for a joke, right? Except the punchline is tragic: the coffee sucked, the vibe was corporate cosplay, and the chairs were clearly designed by someone who hates the concept of human comfort. It wasn’t a Starbucks — because, let’s be honest, Starbucks stopped being a coffeehouse a long time ago. It’s not a “third place” anymore. It’s a caffeine-themed waiting room for people pretending t

Somewhere along the line, the culture shifted. We stopped pretending. For decades, success was about the illusion of control. The polished pitch deck. The glossy commercial. The polished founder who never broke a sweat — even when everything was on fire behind the scenes. That’s the “fake it till you make it” era.And it’s over. Because right now, we’re watching something wild happen across the entire digital landscape: the rise of the Build-in-Public crowd — the people who ar

I’ve always been a hands-on kind of guy. I like to understand how things actually work —from the power that drives the servers to the AI models running on them, and the capital that fuels it all. The truth is, to build what I want to build in this space, I needed to get my hands around the entire stack . That’s why I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Eliakim Capital  as Managing Partner and Chief AI Officer. It’s an incredible opportunity to help shape how compute, power, a

There are moments in human history that split time. Fire. The wheel. The printing press. The Internet. And now this. We have built an intelligence in our own image. Not metaphorically, not poetically—literally. Every neuron mapped to a node, every synapse mirrored in silicon, every word of our collective consciousness poured into the data that shaped its mind. Humanity has done something so extraordinary that we barely have language big enough to hold it. The greatest act of

Secure Simplicity for the Rest of Us It started as a side feature. A “what if” on a different project. And seventy-some hours later, I’m staring at a fully functional, shipping, hardware-secure text vault — VaporVault 3.0  — wondering how we got from idea  to inventory  this fast. This isn’t a prototype.This isn’t vaporware. This is VaporVault , and it’s real. The Problem That Shouldn’t Exist You know exactly what I’m talking about. Every IT guy, every cybersecurity professio

We’re living in a strange, beautiful time — a time where a thought can become a thing overnight. Not through teams, or funding, or decades of engineering — but through collaboration with machines that think just enough to amplify us. It feels unreal, but it’s not. It’s the most human thing we’ve ever done. Because at our core, that’s who we are. We are creators — designed by a Creator. If you cracked open the source code of humanity, the header on that file would read: "MADE

Beacon 3.0 — From Signal to System Firmware, NFC, and the future of an AI-built side project that refuses to stay small. I didn’t mean to build a product. I meant to see what would happen if you could wear Wi-Fi. Beacon started as a curiosity — a weekend experiment that just… never stopped working. Then people started asking for it. Then those people had ideas. And now here we are: firmware updates, new hardware tricks, a web companion, and a community that’s quietly forming

There was a time when tech innovation was about discovery, creativity, and progress. Now it’s about doing strange things for strange APIs — and honestly, I’ve never been happier. We’ve reached a point where “making it” in tech feels less like engineering and more like light digital prostitution.  You build your little Franken-app, slap a “powered by Base44” tag on it, and wait for the algorithm to bless you with tokens and validation. It’s ridiculous. It’s shameless. It’s hil

“Optimus will eliminate poverty and provide universal high income for all.” — Elon Musk That line didn’t just drop into the news cycle — it landed like a flare. Because if Elon’s right, we’re not talking about the next version of work. We’re talking about the end  of it. For generations, we’ve been told that work is what makes us who we are. But what happens when machines do the work — and humans get the why ? The Digital Labor Class Came First Let’s start with a little truth

You ever notice how every era has its buzzword bullshit? Like, back in the day, every computer was bragging about its clock speed. “1.4 gigahertz!” “2.0 gigahertz!” It was the language of power. Nobody actually knew what it meant, but it had a number, and bigger numbers meant better computers, right? Same with RAM. Same with hard drives. Same with every tech label we could slap on a box. “Intel Inside” was practically gospel — and it didn’t matter if anyone understood it. Mar

This all started with a phone call. An old friend of mine, Boris — a fellow IBM alum and one of the few people who still remembers what IRQ conflicts felt like — called me out of the blue a few weeks back. He had a question about AI. Simple enough. But if you’ve ever talked to two lifelong tech guys, you know how that goes. Five minutes in, we were no longer talking about AI — we were talking about everything that led to AI . We fell straight down the nostalgia rabbit hole: A

Let’s start with a truth that’s equal parts uncomfortable and undeniable: If you’ve got deep expertise in anything  — consulting, medicine, engineering, marketing, welding, whatever — you’re training your replacement right now. And no, not the human one. The AI one. Projects like Argentum  (Bloomberg’s scoop about hundreds of ex-McKinsey, Bain, and BCG consultants training AI to do entry-level consulting) and Project Mercury  (ex-bankers teaching financial modeling to models)

Let’s be honest—process mapping used to suck. It was the equivalent of eating your vegetables before you could touch the steak. Necessary? Sure. Fun? Not remotely. Whether it was defining database structures before writing a single line of code, or sketching out user journeys before building an app, process mapping always felt like the preamble to the “real” work. But here’s the thing: it was always the most important part. If you've ever written a business plan, mapped out a
