On Monday, closer to August, then to July, and it’s back to work; we are catching up this week; we are piecing together the life and tragic death of Sinead O’Connor, sometimes those with so much to say can only let go of so much go and what’s left inside can hurt you. We are left with the poetry and music millions of fans have enjoyed for decades. Speaking of unique individuals, the ink takes on a new role in the Startup World according to Kickstarter and another preview into the Sphere in Vegas. On our way to Tahoe, we had a layover in Vegas, and The Sphere was visible from the plane. Happy Monday!

Crowdfunding campaigns do better on Kickstarter when product images feature people with tattoos, according to a new study.

There has been a notable shift in societal attitudes towards tattoos in the professional workplace over the years. While tattoos were once considered taboo and could hinder career prospects, the perception has changed significantly in recent times. The Kickstarter platform discovered that campaigns with inked-up people received more contributions than models without tattoos. Campaign photos that had models with body art received 458 more backers or $27,000 compared to the non-tattooed model campaigns. Maybe there are more non-traditional investors, or tattoos are a great way to market your products.

The Las Vegas skyline has a new mysterious sphere that, at nighttime, glows like the Earth. U2 will christen the venue with a series of concerts in late September. The sphere contains the highest resolution wrapped LED screen. The massive globe will seat nearly 18,000 people. It will be an experience like no other. Not only will the audience have an incredible visual and audio experience some audience members will have haptic seats that can vibrate along with the action on the screen. Will this be the new standard for entertainment venues?

Find peace friend.
