This was a huge labor of love, interviewing creators, business owners, and fans. I loved this documentary, and I hope you’ll give it a watch (after you catch some of this conversation I recorded with Wes of course…) Continue reading “‘Shopping for Superman’ Director Interview – Wes Eastin on Comic Book Shops and Silly Super Heroes”

I brought on my friend Shannon Morse to chat about best practices for setting up a new computer, protecting your network, and how to get started in cyber security. Continue reading “Did I Overreact to Malware on a Mini PC? Interview with Shannon Morse (Security Expert)”
