Now that the metaverse has mostly come and gone, it looks like the key pillars of Web3 are recalibrating back to reality. Even Vision Pro, Apple's virtual reality proposition, is a lot more about answering emails or watching films than living full-time in a neon cyberpunk wonderland.

In a few days, I'm heading to Barcelona for Integrated Systems Europe (ISE 2024), and I'm beyond excited. Despite the grueling four days of walking miles on end on a concrete floor, I love our industry shows. After meeting with manufacturers (every 30 minutes, every day), learning about new technologies, gaining a better understanding of company roadmaps, networking, and seeing industry friends, I return entirely energized.

There's no calming the buzz around energy drinks. And it's not just because of their notoriously high caffeine content. In the first few weeks of 2024, the UK Labour party proposed including a ban on energy drinks for under-16s in their election manifesto due to concerns about their health impact. Soldiers belonging to the Blues & Royals - part of the king's ceremonial bodyguards, the Household Cavalry - have also been ordered to stop consuming energy drinks.
