Another one of the One Spark Creators that we were really looking forward to checking out was Bucketwish. Essentially, Bucketwish is an online platform, through which users can share their goals, wishes and bucket lists in a social media setting: Bucketwish.com is a social media platform designed to organize and enhance gift giving for traditional and [...]
Yesterday, we told you about some Easter-themed apps, today we went in a completely different direction. We decided to share some cannabis-themed iOS apps in honor or 4/20. I really had no idea how many cannabis/weed/pot/dope iOS apps there were. There are tons. Of all the cannabis iOS apps we looked at, here are the [...]
Fresh off of an amazing trip to Jacksonville to cover One Spark, we just came across some interesting news for our next stop. This year's TechCrunch Disrupt New York will host Mike Judge, the creator of HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley,’ and the stars of the show. This is really perfect timing, as the fictional startup that 'Silicon [...]
These days it seems that there is a different social network for everything in your life. Facebook for friends and family, LinkedIn for work. Twitter for news, and whatever else you may follow. It can get to be a little overwhelming, and at times pointless. Every new social network that comes along claims to be [...]
A few weeks ago, the Just Orb Me Team answered a few questions for us about their project, but we were still not 100% sure what the Orb was. The Orb itself is not an incredibly complex product, but there is nothing like it out there, so it makes a description difficult. After seeing it [...]

A few days before we hit the road to One Spark 2014, we wrote about the SweetSpot sugar dispenser. What we wrote then is even more true after we had a chance to see it in person, "One of the more practical One Spark Creator Projects that we have come across is the SweetSpot sugar dispenser. [...]
One of the more interesting projects that we came across at One Spark 2014 was Two Way Resume. The main idea behind Two Way Resume is that paper, black-and-white resumes are both dull and incomplete. Essentially, Two Way Resume is an update to the paper resume. Using the platform, users can transform the paper resume [...]
QuickComet is a pretty interesting platform. In a nutshell, QuickComet is an investment education platform/app with tons and tons of walkthroughs and tutorials. As we said in our One Spark preview on QuickComet, there are currently a ton of different investment platforms, but not many that are solely focused on education. Enter QuickComet. The investor education [...]
One of the more interesting booths we were able to check out at One Spark was that of the JaxHax Makerspace. They weren't really pitching a project, per se, but rather they were pitching their giant workshop. JaxHax is a 8,000 Sq. Ft. shared workshop right in the middle of Downtown Jacksonville. According to their Facebook [...]
