Free technology courses

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I’ve never been able to hold my hands steady. No, it’s not from too much caffeine – well, not usually. But as a result, I can rarely use a handheld distance rangefinder out on the course. Which is a shame, because I walk many of my rounds. So I don’t often have a cart GPS screen to cross-reference yardage on. Yes, I could use a GPS watch but literally every model I’ve tried has resulted in a skin rash flare-up underneath the band. But maybe there’s a new product to help. Precision Pro Golf’s new NX10 Slope rangefinder locks in distances super quickly and with accuracy. No it doesn’t have image stabilization like some other models I’ve tried, but this has speed on its side. Billed as the market’s first fully customizable rangefinder with interchangeable skins, it comes out of the box essentially as an all-white unit. But you can buy up to 30-some different custom skins separately. The largest underside panel slides off, so … [Read more...] about A Fast, New Rangefinder For The Course

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Now that I am officially divorced, I decided to embark on a few body upgrades that I am referring to as “a non-mommy, mid-life makeover.” While I am incredibly fit and don’t have a lot of fat, no matter how much I work out, there are a few spots on my body that time and gravity have left their stamp on that I wanted to improve upon. One of those areas was my inner thighs, which essentially looked batwings, but dangling from my femur rather than my arms. Traditionally, liposuction was the only way to rid the body of loose skin and fat, but with advances in technology there are now less invasive options for those who don’t want to go under the knife. After quite a bit of research, I decided to first try out InMode ’s Morpheus8, a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that catapulted into the mainstream due to Kim Kardashian raving about its skin tightening benefits on her social feeds. I had my appointment with Dr. Paul D. … [Read more...] about InMode’s BodyTite: The Minimally Invasive Treatment For Skin Laxity And Stubborn Fat

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Last of Us, a celebrated videogame has now become an absorbing limited series on HBO Max, regarded as the most successful adaptation of a game into film or limited series – there have been so many poor attempts in the past (1983’ Super Mario Bros , may be the worst, but Mortal Kombat , Wing Commander , Doom . Postal and Max Payne didn’t fare much better). The show has become a cultural touchstone and does emphasize, if it needed to be said again, the importance of gaming culture. The truth is that the pleasures of each form are not always the same, and in videogames having 60 hours of story and play and many levels to conquer creates engagement that a movie may not match. Part of what makes gaming so immersive is the technology — the visuals, of course; but also the quality of the sound. I’m not a gamer but gaming does check many of my boxes: I am interested in the variety and forms of culture, and also … [Read more...] about Listening To Audeze

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin People often ask me, “what is Web3?” My short answer, which I elaborate on in my ‘What The Zuck’ article and keynotes , is always—you are! Why? Because the promise of Web3 flips the ownership model and gives the money and the power back to you. Social media has deteriorated in many countries—especially for women—and the tech. and media oligopolists love it. These media landlords like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter, Apple, et al. have taken control of everything we do, say, share, post and buy online—and they are not very excited about the changes Web3 can usher in to their market. Want proof? While Tik Tok’s CEO, Shou Chew, was grilled by U.S. lawmakers in Washington today—last week at SXSW, his former product head admitted this about creators: “Platforms don’t really care if you are successful…because their metrics are 100 percent focused on retention, publish rates, active days. Monetization of … [Read more...] about Web3 Rebels Vs. Tech. Oligopolies
