It’s summer time in the northern hemisphere and all of the little munchkins have detailed plans on how to spend their vacation.

Don’t Ignore Your Tech – Choose Different Friends
I was listening to TWiT this week and Georgia Dow was pleading with people to put down their tech and engage with each other. Becky Worley responded by talking about what the implications are when you look at your watch because you received a notification. Iain Thomson suggested that especially on a date you should […]

George from Tulsa is a generous man and frequently will shoot Steve and me an email entitled “Brown Truck Arriving Soon”. By this he means that some gift is coming our way. One time it was peanuts, once it was a thing that plugged into power giving us USB ports and more 110V ports, and […]

I’m afraid Fitbit is dead to me. I called time of death on the 6th of June at 10pm. This was a sad day for me because I’ve loved the motivation I got over the years from tracking my steps, making harder and harder goals for myself and competing with my friends and family in […]
