Finally cutting the cord
Reading Time: 2 min Despite my constant desire for the latest and greatest technology, I’ve held onto traditional TV delivery until today. We did some digging and just made the switch from Uverse TV (which was really pretty solid) to a handful of streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV and Sling TV. When AT&T added fiber internet to our […]
A Chromecast on every TV
Reading Time: 2 min I’m a big fan of Google products for two main reasons: 1 – In general, they’re pretty great products (Gmail, Maps, Docs, etc). 2 – They tend to work on every major platform.

My favorites things in 2016

Favorite phone I ended up using six different phones last year, largely related to the Galaxy Note 7 fire fiasco. Mine never caught fire, but the various recalls were messy. Droid Turbo 2: I […]
Wilt Chamberlain could have been better — can you?
