Things to do in Myakka River State Park in Sarasota

If you’re staying in a vacation rental in the Bradenton Beach, Sarasota, or Siesta Key area, don’t forget to add Myakka River State Park to your vacation to-do list.This massive park is home to literally thousands of alligators, all waiting for their close up—from a safe distance, of course.Myakka River State Park is 58 square miles large and combines prairies with wetlands and pinelands. Running through the park is the Myakka River, perfect for boating, kayaking and fishing.Myakka River State Park was developed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and was one of eight state parks in Florida developed by the CCC. Previously, the land for the park was owned by Bertha Palmer, a businesswoman from Chicago who pursued cattle and pig ranching on the land.Fast forward to today, and one major draw for Myakka River State Park is the many, many alligators that call it home. When the weather is warm, you can see alligators swimming along in the river or sometimes sunning themselves not far from shore. Keep your distance, of course, and use the closeup function on your camera phone or a telephoto lens on a nice camera to snap some nice shots. During Sarasota’s busiest season, it’s not uncommon to find tourists speaking several different languages stopped in clumps to gaze at gators and snap pics to share with others. Another great way to learn about the park is with its boat and tram rides. The boats will take you out on Upper Myakka... Read More

ROKU CEO Says All TV Advertising will be Streamed

Anthony Wood (ROKU CEO) believes ROKU  lies at the center of the future of entertainment. (MSNBC) For the first time, streaming has overtaken legacy cable/satellite  in terms of adoption in the U.S. 65% of people aged 18 to 49 watched streaming TV in March 2022, more than the 63% that watched legacy pay/cable TV. (Motley Fool) The future of entertainment could see streaming become the number 1 choice. TV manufacturers are looking beyond just wifi connectivity. There are huge competitive advantages that could steer companies to streaming TV Advertising  as an incredible investment. In the U.S., Nielsen reports that audiences spend 46% of their TV time streaming, while eMarketer reports that advertisers spend just 18% of their TV ad budgets on streaming. Both of these will become 100% as eventually all TV and all TV advertising will be streamed. Although Wood, of course, is referencing ROKU as the leader, in fact, TV Manufacturers are discovering operating systems beyond ROKU. VIDAA for example, is showing viewers prefer their TV navigation over ROKU by as much as 40%. VIDAA is partnering with content providers such as 30A Media for television programming, and is also investing heavily in advertising suppliers like Castify and Tremor. What does this all mean ? Traditional (legacy) Television is changing. Fast. Cable and Satellite are showing a mass exodus to streaming TV and using Smart TV’s to view their programming. As a result you can BUY streaming TV advertising far below traditional TV spots cost — and where... Read More
