It has been 20 years since Google Earth released an interactive software that put futuristic and impossible high-tech gadgetry from classic spy and CIA books/movies into the hands of everyone (including my 12-year-old self at the time)! The program was absolutely awesome from the get-go, with seamless sweeping motions zooming in and out of satellite […]
Years ago, Pluto was downgraded from planet to a dwarf planet, which reduced the number of planets in our solar system to 8. However, scientists think there is another planet, several times larger than earth, hiding out there. They call it Planet 9. How, you wonder, could a whole honkin’ planet be “hiding” in our […]
I always love it when companies do a rebrand, except maybe in the case of recent car company logos. Autodesk recently did a rebranding and I’m a fan. I’ll miss the colors, but the new logo and the corporate positioning are spot on for a company so instrumental to our lives. Learn more at Autodesk. […]
The pandemic has rocked our world. I try to look at the glass half full and find the positive things that have happened as a result. The pandemic caused people to work in ways they would have never thought of. Pre-COVID, many companies would never bat an eye at the thought of their staff working […]

I stopped going to the gym, recreational soccer was cancelled, stopped going to church and restaurants, and stayed away from nearly all friends and family. As an outgoing and sociable person, these changes took […]
Like a lot of people, I’ve been working from home during the pandemic. Since I worked remotely for Ideba before (and will continue to work from home once the world completely opens up), I count myself lucky that the switch to virtual meetings and interactions was a seamless one. That is not to say that […]
The COVID-19 pandemic brought a lot of focus on people’s physical health. However, with new data and research coming out we are learning about the collective toll COVID-19 had on people’s mental health as well. In a poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KKF) in the spring of 2020, 45% of adults in the […]
Expanding on the ongoing Ideba blog theme: what are you most excited to see in 2021? I have to say I look forward to outcomes and experiences related to technological industries and use of that technology being put into overdrive. We just saw two major leaps in space exploration take place when Amazon and Virgin […]
