This week on divergent opinions, we ran through a handful of interesting announcements from CES, and did some in-depth discussion of Belkin’s WeMo line of home automation devices. While not a new field of technology by any stretch, the home automation industry is in a period of rapid iteration at the moment, so I’ll be watching it closely.

This week on Divergent Opinions, Mike and I discussed hardware acceleration for 3d rendering, 3d printing in 2013, and the future of the Mac Pro. It’s the pre-holiday lull, but be on the lookout for a new product from divergent media in the very, very near future.

This week in Tech Chatter, Jude and I discussed the changes taking place in digital education in Africa, based on this article from The Economist.

Site note: I’m going to experiment with posting here as new episodes of my podcasts, Tech Chatter and Divergent Opinions are posted. I’ll give it a go.
