Baby Brooklyn arrives on March 26. Well, that’s the plan anyway. Which means there is less than two months before she’s bundled up and on her way home. So it’s time to get the nursery together. My wife has a concept in mind (thank goodness). And no, the black swatches does not mean we’re brining a child into a depressed dark room with no light. You’ll have to wait...
Think for a second all the devices you have connected to the Internet. There’s probably more than you think. And you may have started using more complex passwords as you get older and wiser (note: If you’re not, seriously. Get with the times. You’re going to get hacked). But you’re likely NOT using 2FA. It may really be time to use two-factor authentication. I know...
I’ve never been a fan of today’s date. It was this day, 24 years ago that my cousin was killed. It wasn’t a tragic accident or medical issue. It was murder. And it’s still hard to talk about. But it’s good to talk about and remember him because he was a special guy. He helped a lot of people. And he was loved by even more. I was only 16 when my cousin died. I...
Blogging every day is not easy. Damn, it’s hard. More often than not I find myself staring at my computer screen at 11:00 p.m. working to get the words out. But today, I’m happy to report I’ve been blogging 30 consecutive days. I’ve learned a lot of things. In order to continue, I need to revise my plan a bit. Here are some things I’ve learned to help make blogging...
I’ve known about Facebook Marketplace for years, but never used it. Why in the world would we need another place to sell our junk? But if you’ve read my recent posts, you know I’ve delved back into eBay and Craigslist and offloading stuff from my storage units. But selling has picked up! That’s why I love Facebook Marketplace. When I have stuff to sell, I generally go to...
Today was like any other Sunday. I was cleaning up my storage units and pulling out parts to our old crib, rocking chair, bassinet, mobile, and anything else I could check off from the list my wife prepared for me. Our daughter Brooklyn will be born in at the end of March. Time is running out, so we need to get the nursery in order. I was sitting on the couch, ready to take another trip and get...
I haven’t sold anything on eBay since 2014. eBay came into the scene with a ton of promise, and to this day, it has created a marketplace for anyone to essentially set up shop and make a good living in just flipping stuff. Granted, the market has become saturated with a lot of things that used to be profitable (like baseball cards – more on that later), but it’s still a great...
I’ve had YouTube TV for a few months now. I absolutely love it. Not only is it a great service with plenty of options, there are no cords, no boxes, no high cable bills and no hassle. But it doesn’t mean there are no problems. In fact, there’s really only one problem with YouTube TV I’ve experienced. This problem isn’t even YouTube TV’s fault. It falls on...
I was fired back in 2013. It was unexpected. It sucked at the time. But it was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. Truly. Because the following year I learned a lot about people, how they operate, how the world truly works and what our special powers are. When it comes to those of us who work in TV News (or any medium for that matter), we all have one particular power that we...
If you have a business, sell a product, or you’re just trying to build your brand online, trying to determine how much content to post and where to post it has always been a burning, age-old question. For instance, how much content should you create in one day? The answer varies wildly. There’s really no right answer. What a lot of companies and individuals have trouble with is what...
