South by Southwest interactive portion is just about wrapping up. Stay tuned for a complete run down on: IBM’s Experience studio  — Including a new Watson SDK for Unity and Voice VR (tried and tested).

Dirt Road Travels : Austin Company to Know Roy Seiders, Founder Edited by Nate Luebbe “Growing up in the Texas Hill Country, we spent most of our time outside. The outdoors have always been a way for us to get away from the busy-ness of daily life. I especially enjoy time on the water relaxing with friends and family.

Over the last few months, I have upgraded components in our home to devices which feature IoT and home automation capabilities. The first thing I replaced was my thermostat. I considered several options and went with the Ecobee thermostat. A key consideration was integration with Amazon Echo and Apple Homekit. I am actually more aligned to Google than I am Apple, but at the same time, I am not interested in a total lock-in on any platform.
