AI is creeping into all areas of our lives at an uncomfortable pace. Some of it seems to be good for humanity, and much more of it seems to be bad. You can decide for yourself if this level of government surveillance “for your safety” is going in the right direction for citizens, or instead if it is moving in the right direction for those who want absolute power and control.
Lagoonapalooza is tomorrow! Register here for free so they know you’re coming. It’s fun for all ages with music, activities and (my personal favorite), FOOD TRUCKS.
LAST CALL FOR TICKETS. There are still a few seats left for Saturday’s cello performance at East Coast Boba Company in downtown Vero Beach. The visiting cellist is on a tour of the US and we are lucky enough to have him stopping in Vero Beach for a night.
The next Downtown Friday celebration in Vero Beach is NEXT Friday 1/30. You can expect the usual collection of vendors and activities, and hopefully some comfortable weather after the winter apocalypse storm up north clears out. Live country music is the name of the game next Friday, so bring your cowboy hats and boots.

More businesses in Vero Beach and Sebastian accepting bitcoin for payments every day. What was once dismissed as “funny internet money” is now becoming mainstream, with payments becoming available at our local businesses. Now that Fortune 500 companies are holding bitcoin in their corporate treasuries, perhaps it’s time for us to pay a little more attention to what is being heralded by some as the future of money.
Coinbase is a US-based company with an impeccable safety record (no hacks, ever). They connect to all major and minor traditional banks to make investing in bitcoin easier than ever. Even if you are still skeptical about bitcoin’s future (I know I am), it may still be wise to allocate some funds to bitcoin…just in case.
