Tech for Life #6: Playstation Vue. The Future of Cable TV.

I hate cable. I hate how every time I turn it on a pop up tries to get me to buy on-demand. I hate that while HD is the standard, standard definition channels still exist and drown me in a mile long channel guide. I hate that there’s 1800 channels and I can never find anything […]

Gun Control: A Letter To My Congressman & Senators

(The children and adults murdered at Sandy Hook, never to see another day. Image from Dailymail.co.uk) To Congressman Lieu, Senator Boxer, and Senator Feinsten, I’m sure I’m not the only one writing today. The mass shootings in the country have reached a point where my wife and I genuinely discuss moving to another country, because […]

Tech For Life [TFL] #5: The Thermos Stainless Steel King.

Yes, I usually write about electronics, but sometimes you have to branch out. Like many of you, last July I sifted through Amazon’s Prime Day looking for a rocking deal. I didn’t really find one. But when the Thermos Stainless Steel King popped up, a co-worker – who was much more depressed than anyone should be […]

Tech For Life [TFL] #4: Everyone Should Own A Porsche Boxster.

That’s right.  Not a 911.  A Boxster.  I don’t care what year. “But bro!  It’s a total chick car!” you say with your baseball cap turned backwards. I’m sure a lot of women like it, but if you think it’s “just” a chick car, you don’t really like cars. “But bro!  It’s a car, for […]

Internet Strapped To Our Face Is A BAD THING.

<—- (This is your brain on Google Glass. Any questions?) For consumer use, Google Glass is instant asshole. Do we really want to be cyborgs? Is that the tech goal to have a heads up display while we drink coffee or go on a date? Is that the pinnacle of connectedness? No. It’s the start […]

Tech For Life [TEF] #3: Say No To Elephant Farts (ie, Proper Subwoofer Placement).

BASS! Ugh . . . no.  The other kind.  Take 2. BASS! Odds are you have a subwoofer. Odds are it’s in the corner of the room. And odds are that it sounds like an elephant farting. Subwoofers are a ubiquitous piece of gear (spelled “ubiquitous” right on the first try, thank you) that allow the […]

Tech For Life [TFL] #2: Digital-to Analog-Headphone Amplifier

Now we dive into the belly of the beast. In the previous post I showcased three sets of headphones that are at the top of the heap for price/performance. I believe whole-heartedly in the law of diminishing returns (that’s why after I got married,  I quit doing abs — hey-yo!) and electronic gear is an […]
