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

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

There’s a weird, wild piece of tech chatter  blowing up everywhere right now — social feeds, comment threads, memes — all about what some people are calling a sonic weapon  used by U.S. forces during the recent raid to capture Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro . One widely circulated eyewitness account describes defenders suddenly overwhelmed by something that felt like “very intense sound waves” — causing nosebleeds, vomiting blood, and collapse before the main assault even hit. I

In my world, resolution  isn’t a promise — it’s a setting. Something you tweak on a monitor until things look sharp enough. Static. Fixed. Done. But I’m not interested in static anymore. This year, I’m not setting resolutions. I’m setting direction and executing. The Past Two Years: The Build Phase The last couple of years have been about building — systems, tools, prototypes, proofs of concept. Some for Eliakim Capital , some for Data Power Supply , and some just because I

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 between a vending machine in Anthropic’s lobby and a meme painted on a Memphis rooftop, capitalism quietly booted up a new operating system. We used to say “AI is coming for your job.”Now it’s coming for your org chart. The Dawn of Machine Capitalism Let’s start with a vending machine.A simple, stupid, beautiful vending machine. Anon Labs gave an AI $500 and said, “Go make a profit. ” No human babysitter. No preloaded logic tree. Just a digital brain, an API key, an

Because your body’s been white-knuckling life for too long. Let’s start with the truth:There’s a sacred moment  in every shower. No, not that one. The other one. The one where you turn just right and that steady stream of hot water lands perfectly between your shoulder blades — right on your spine — and suddenly your whole body just… lets go. Your shoulders drop. Your breath deepens. And for a brief, glorious moment, the noise of the world dials down. That’s not comfort. That

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

For as long as most of us can remember, we’ve been taught to introduce ourselves as our roles. “I’m an accountant.”“I’m an engineer.”“I’m in IT.” Somewhere along the line, our job titles became our identities. And for decades, that worked fine—because the world moved slowly enough to let us keep up with our own definitions. But AI just broke the speed limit. Now the skills that defined those roles are evolving faster than we can rewrite our résumés. The ground beneath our ide

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

I don’t even know if it’s still night or already morning.I just know that VaporVault 3.0  is done — and it’s good . Like, shockingly good. Not “cool prototype” good. Not “it boots without catching fire” good. I mean finished product  good. If this thing were in an enclosure instead of hanging off my desk with a spaghetti mess of jumper wires and a button dangling from a breadboard, I’d buy it. Full stop. It’s clean. It’s stable. It’s slick. You connect to it and it just feels

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

So… remember how I said VaporVault  was an offline, personal password vault? Yeah — about that. Apparently, it’s also a collaboration tool now. I didn’t plan this, but the Node firmware kind of turned into something way  cooler than I expected. The Idea The standard VaporVault is totally offline — your private Wi-Fi network, your private data. But then I thought, what if a small team or family could share one safely? So I built VaporVault Node. It runs the same hardware, sam

Somewhere between fixing a few other projects and dodging the holidays, I ended up back in Firefly’s firmware . I hadn’t really touched it in close to a year, but it’s one of those projects that just won’t leave me alone. Every time I think it’s “done,” something small catches my attention — a better way to handle power, a cleaner interface, a new use case I didn’t think of. So yeah, Firefly got a refresh. And it’s probably the most “grown-up” version of itself yet. The Updat

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

I stumbled into this by accident. It started with boredom, Zoom fatigue, and the unholy marriage of my curiosity and too many AI tools. I’d been recording calls for transcripts—just like everyone else—when I decided to feed them into an AI analyzer. I wasn’t chasing self-awareness; I was chasing efficiency. Instead, I got a mirror. Turns out, I communicate like a human compression algorithm—talking in verbal zip files, pop culture fragments, and analogies that make people lau

I just got back from a data conference in Chicago, and I left honestly stunned. Not by the technology — by the people. Panel after panel, supposedly “leaders” in data science, logistics, and analytics — all of them dancing around the same idea: “We’re being cautious about AI.” Cautious. That word kept coming up like a reflex, a corporate mantra. “We’re waiting for regulation.” “We’re concerned about bias.” “We don’t trust the outputs.” It was like watching a room full of data

The good news is: if you’re producing AI slop and vibe-coded trash… you’re already here. Let’s not sugarcoat it — the internet right now is flooded with junk.AI-generated slop. Vibe-coded “masterpieces.” Instagram philosophers with diffusion filters and Canva quotes. Every feed looks like the world’s biggest art school critique, and half of it feels like someone just learned where the “generate” button lives. But here’s the thing: that noise? That chaos? That’s the sound of t
