We celebrated a Florida man’s triumph after a quadruple amputation, got a liiiittle bit scared of 3D printed explosives, admired some plants’ new green wearables, found safety in numbers (really, data), and watched Burning Man’s Temple construction go digital, all this week in 3D printing. Florida Man’s Best Tale Yet. We’ve all had some fun with the Florida Man meme from time to time.

By Amitaabh Malhotra, Omnyway Tourism is big business in the U.S. In 2016, 75.6 million international visitors came to the United States and collectively spent $244.7 billion across the country. For many tourists, the U.S. is considered a shopping destination for luxury goods. Why? Mostly because they may not be able to get those brands or products back home, or what they get there may be more expensive.

By Klaudia Tirico, Features Editor One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2018 — albeit easy to accomplish — is to listen to more podcasts. Whether they’re simply just for fun or for editorial purposes, I resolve to listen more and hear what influential people in the world have to say about important topics. I watch more TV than I’d like to admit so it will be refreshing to shut my eyes and digest content in a new way.

Somehow another year has passed—again! While it’s easy to get stuck on everything that didn’t go well in 2017, focusing instead on plans for the year ahead is much more productive. In early January, people are squarely in New Year’s resolution mode, but often aren’t sure where or how to start.

But it turns out those old-fashioned catalogs and flyers (printed on actual PAPER, if you remember what that is) can be incredibly powerful. I sat down to talk with McGregor Button of LinkSoul about how his company generates over 40% of their revenue from direct mail.
