Conversation of Things Podcast

Yonomi’s Co-founder and CEO Kent Dickson and I talk about what’s new with their namesake home automation app, new Thin Cloud service for IoT device makers and what the future holds for the smart home.

My super-smart and longtime friend Dr. John Barentine from the International Dark-Sky Association joins me to talk about how lighting affects the night sky and the health and well-being of both humans and many other species across our planet. Whether it’s too much blue light that we’re staring at during nighttime hours or the over-abundance of light in our cities, light pollution is a real thing and the IDA is working to educate the public on how to reduce it. We also chat about how smart lighting from the home automation world is making its ways into cities and street lighting, along with what the future holds for lighting beyond the current LED revolution.

Super-friendly and incredibly knowledgeable technology podcaster Allison Sheridan joins me on this first episode of the Conversation of Things. We chat a bit about how our friendship started at CES 2017, Allison brings us up-to-speed on her many years of being involved with tech and podcasting and we talk about how the iPhone has changed the world (including the smart home) and where is technology going to take us in the future. Plus, the Five Rapid-Fire Questions!
