It's almost like America has become a reality TV show.
Every week there's something new ... Did you see Pepsi's new ad? It got a lot of backlash for showing Kendall Jenner saving the underprivileged with a well placed Pepsi.
Seems like someone's getting fired.
It's a crazy world ...
Here are McCain's full remarks.

Let's play "Caption This Picture."
Found it under the headline "Aides Wrestle Drill From Trump's Hands As He Tries To Remove Obama Listening Device From Skull." What would you caption it?

I watched Beauty and the Beast this weekend, with my youngest.
He's not so young anymore, and it feels like these two toddlers aren't either. If you haven't seen this yet, watch ... It's a fascinating and funny time-lapse.
Two toddlers escaped their cribs and held a party in their bedroom.
By the way, Beauty and the Beast was pretty good. It's a faithful representation of the original cartoon, and a reminder that while children get older and technology changes, some things don't.
A week ago, we talked about security (or the lack of it).
Saw this, and thought it was related:

Is your password up there? Might want to change it.

Recently, we talked about billionaires and how they made their money. Today, I want to talk about companies that are valued at over $1 billion dollars.
In tech finance, a "Unicorn" is the moniker applied to private startups when they cross the supposedly mythical $1 Billion valuation level.
Well, fairy tales are coming true more often.
The number of Unicorns doubled in 2015 ... and not just in number – but in value as well.
The chart, which only shows the 185 Unicorns that are still private companies, highlights the increasing Unicorn density since 2014.
Currently, Uber is the most valuable Unicorn, with a $66 Billion Dollar valuation.
What do you think it means?
Are these companies a sign of a strong market, a bubble, or both?
I recently attended a cybersecurity roundtable with Congressman Pete Sessions.
The message was disturbing ... But, you already knew that; didn't you?
First, check out this interactive attack map.
It's scary ... it shows the attacks happening now, their types, and their targets ... in real time.
Perhaps scarier, however, was the discussion on privacy. One of the messages was not to be so worried about privacy ... You don't have any.
Your data is already out there; what you need to worry about is whether someone intends to use it.
The question isn't whether your data has been compromised, it's whether you've been targeted.
Just a warning.
