I watched the behind-the-scenes documentary Disney Worldbuilders and it's inspiring — but I wish they had turned it into a Disney+ series instead
THE SO WHAT
Audience appetite for deep process stories around worldbuilding suggests there’s room to turn production workflows themselves into serialized IP. If you run a content-heavy business, consider whether your internal build process could be repackaged as its own product rather than just marketing collateral.

Tech & InnovationDynaudio's wild soundbar with moving 'kinetic fins' is one of the most impressive I've ever seen — I spoke to the company's CCO about building a luxe soundbar for giant TVs and its impressive 24-driver design
High-end home theater is drifting toward kinetic, architectural objects — not just black bars under the TV. If you're building in living-room hardware or experiences, assume buyers will pay for spectacle and integration, not just specs.
Tech & InnovationI watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Dolby Cinema — and the sound stole the show
Premium cinema is leaning on spatial audio as the differentiator that home setups still can't fully match. Studios and platforms investing in Atmos-grade mixes are buying themselves a longer runway before living-room parity erodes theatrical demand further.
Tech & InnovationQuote of the day by Julian Assange: 'If you want a vision of the future, imagine Washington-backed Google Glasses strapped onto vacant human faces — forever'
The failure of Google Glass still shapes how regulators, platforms, and users think about face-mounted compute—surveillance, data ownership, and social acceptability are now first-order design constraints, not afterthoughts. If you're building on smart glasses, assume policy, privacy, and UX friction will be as decisive as hardware and AI capability.
Tech & InnovationVerizon voice services are down for some — here's what we know so far
Voice outages at a Tier 1 carrier are a reminder that 'always-on' is an assumption, not a guarantee. If your operations still depend on PSTN or single-carrier voice for critical workflows, build redundant channels now—VoIP, secondary SIMs, and app-based comms are cheap insurance.
