Celebrating Virtual Reality’s Coming of Age

August 30, 2017

The “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson and “Tech Geezer” Jim Walsh have a full show on this episode of The Tech Ranch. For those of you who don’t know the Guru of Geek personally, he often suffers from Monday Head, which is a condition of being physically present at work, but mentally stuck in Sunday. Luckily, Marlo pre-plans his itinerary for The Tech Ranch and with a bit of help for Tech Geezer, they delivered another fantastic show.

A New Platform for Drone Pilots
Anthony Molzahn has always had an interest in web development, except if you count that one time he was a waiter. Even then, his desire to work in the technology field landed him a job as a web developer. Since then, he has expanded his entrepreneurial skills by co-founding a company called Project Phoenix, which focuses on creating an API (application programming interface) that is universal to all businesses. Molzan told The Tech Ranch he is currently working on a new platform project for drone pilots. Aegis Flow is a program that connects people to pilots and allows for individuals in the agriculture industry to use drone technology to better enhance their business. Molzahn also is working on projects with NASA, Lowes and the Oil and Gas Industry. If you’re looking for a company that can take you to the next level through the drone industry, consider Project Phoenix. You can connect with Anthony Molzahn through LinkedIn.

Microsoft – An announcement was made by Microsoft that people will have to say good bye to an old product–Paint.
