Drink it in (the air, not the wine). 2020 has arrived and with it the ridiculous set of resolutions that you promise yourself each year. I do. In fact, I do the same one each year and fail miserably. Since we’re on the topic of resolutions, I’d like to touch on two (there are many more that are far more important, but dinner is on the way and I don’t have that kind of time)...
I ditched cable for YouTube TV and I’m smiling
And it’s a big smile. I ditched cable for YouTube TV. If you read yesterday’s post about upgrading your AT&T devices, you may have noticed I can’t stand dealing with service providers like cable and phone companies. They survive by feeing you to death. Fee here, fee there, added fee, discounted but fee in 6 months and so on. It’s maddening. Surely you’ve been...
Read this before upgrading your AT&T device
Tis’ the season for sifting through the up-charges on your phone and cable bills. Spending time on the phone with a service provider of any sort – for any length of time – is about as fun as a appendectomy. So much to my chagrin, I felt like I should probably challenge the 100% increase on my AT&T phone bill that greeted me this month. Yes, we upgraded our phones. But we...
The genius of L.O.L. Surprise! dolls
I asked my daughter Bella (who’s almost 4 years old) what she wanted for Christmas this year. Without missing a beat, she said L.O.L. Dolls. What the hell is an L.O.L. Doll, I thought? Apparently, they’re the rage. And their proper name is L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls. Perhaps your kid asked for them this year? Upon further review, these dolls are ridiculous. Not in a good way...
The calm before the fricking storm
Here we are again. It’s the in-between stage where Christmas just wrapped up and we’re headed for New Year’s Day. It’s a time to stare at yourself in horror, dream up how you’ll become a multi-millionaire, defuse tantrums from your 3-year-old and watch, help and feel badly for your pregnant wife as she hobbles around in pain knowing there’s still a solid two...

iPhone 7 static while making calls
If you have upgraded your iPhone to the 7 or 7 Plus, hopefully you haven't experienced a VERY LOUD blast of static in your ear while making calls. I did. This is my story.
When you find yourself in Google Street View photos
I happened to be walking my dogs, minding my own business, when out in the distance I could see it approaching. You know the sight...big pole, tiny car. It was the Google Maps mobile and it was recording history! I had better be ready.
The Mourning Moon through a TV camera
I was just leaving the TV station, pulled around the corner and the moon about smacked me in the face. WOW. I wasn’t prepared for the big moon tonight, and being a bit uneducated on meteorology and all-things-moon, I had no idea except for something maybe to do with a solstice. I was somewhat right after doing digging around online. Turns out a full moon in November is the last before the...
