Happy Monday
The Last Jedi trailer is here…
I think a few people will see Star Wars: The Last Jedi in movie theaters this Christmas. The film’s director and screenwriter Rian Johnson continues to show that he’s the real deal within the beloved fictional cinematic world of Star Wars.
Is it Christmas yet?
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
1982 Called…and Sounded Impressed
After 35 years, Blade Runner 2049 is now in theaters across the country. The long-awaited sequel to the quintessential science-fiction film has finally arrived.
As I give you time to order tickets in the event you haven’t bought yours for the movie event of October, be sure to enjoy a visually stunning reminder as to why Blade Runner 2049 is primed to be the rare example of a sequel that will match its beloved 1980s nostalgic forefather.
Or, as has been written on Jimmy’s Daily Planet, surpass its cinematic game-changing and iconic original.
No pressure.
This Bud’s for All of Us…Someday
Is the Google Pixel less impressive than the iPhone X?
Arguably, yes.
Is the presentation style and delivery of the Google phone products less impressive (and a knock-off) of Apple and its famous product announcements?
Yes.
However, did Pixel Buds by Google just give the giant search engine company a leg up on the beloved tech company concerning the most innovative headphones/earbuds from Silicon Valley?
I’m thinking yes…
For traveling in foreign lands, the Google Pixel Buds are a game-changer…sort of.
The presentation in the video above seems to infer that both parties need a Google phone and its accompanying Pixel Buds. That might become problematic, since I know nobody in the consumer-centric city of Columbus, OH who even owns a Google phone, let alone the far reaches of the globe. Regardless, innovation has never been and will never be a one-stop destination. Over time, the Pixel Buds (the tech, not necessarily the name) could evolve as the leading mobile tech device for bridging the language barriers of people from all over the world in quick conversational moments.
And the key phrase there is “could evolve.” If the right company with a wider net of smartphone customers is able to take the impressive tech from the Pixel Buds and advance the features in such a way that it becomes marketable (ie-practical) for the general public to purchase and use, then that’s when the game-changing moment will occur in the travel sector and beyond. If only Google could utilize their search engine base (almost everybody) and partner with a rival that is the king of smartphones as well as introducing game-changing portable technology?
Bing bing! Ding ding!
The good news is Google can hear this obvious answer in 40 some odd languages.

The Huffington Post, in its infinite wisdom —
Sorry, I can’t even finish that sentence without bursting out laughing. Let me try this again.
The Huffington Post, in its infinite absurdity, has introduced a new catchphrase to the world through Millennials. As DJ Khaled would say, it’s a phrase that the world is “catched by.” And that phrase is “woke.” Generally (key word here), woke is “A state of perceived intellectual superiority one gains by reading The Huffington Post” (Urban Dictionary).
During SNL’s 43rd season premiere, the writers took this new catchphrase (and, by association, the Huffington Post) to task through the avenue of fashion.
Joke: The Huffington Post and gender non-identification.
