Boo-Yah! My Flip is awesome! Though I wish I had the 3rd generation version which includes image stabilization. The Fat Gecko is wicked. Use it in or out of your car, snowboards, mountain bikes, bike helmets. I love it!

Transcription

I’ve had this video transcribed below for those who prefer to read rather than listen or watch. The transcription provided by me.Hey everybody! Mark Regan here. I recently read where Moody’s listed Tampa as one of the top 25 hubs in technology.I was born and raised here through high school. Left for about 15 years, never planning to come back, living in cities like RTP, North Carolina, Atlanta and Silicon Valley, cities in metropolitan areas that really have an infrastructure and an ecosystem built around supporting technology companies and technology people.Tampa doesn’t have any of that. It might have a little bit in the biosciences areaout near USF. But it isn’t in any way, supportive hardware, software technology services—anything that is closer to what I'm interested in.So they call it a ‘technology hub’ is really doing a disservice to those other cities and Moody’s really should've stopped their count at whatever point the technology hubs is really stopped turning in into the cities with technologies and really just started to be a top 25 list for some arbitrary purpose of calling them 25 cities.If you disagree with me, let me know. Leave me some comments below.Maybe there's something here I don’t know or something is beginning ready to happen but to call it a ‘technology hub’ doesn’t work in my mind. I live here now and I plan to live here for this foreseeable future and I would love to be wrong but I just don’t see it.Anyway, let me know in the comments below. Later
