A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I was unfollowing a lot of meme accounts because they were turning into a time-suck and I found myself going down the rabbit hole and wasting away.

A bunch of popular Instagram accounts unleashed a load of...

There’s a new social media challenge ready to sunset itself because it’s 15 minutes of fame are nearly up. The premise of the Broom Challenge is simple: balance a broom so it stands on its own.

If you crush a lot of content on Netflix, you know your way around the platform. Perhaps you like the autoplay previews or the how the next episodes start without allowing you the proper amount of time for a bathroom break. It’s a genius concept, but many people would likely want to know how to shut off autoplay on Netflix. It was so much of an issue, Netflix even mentioned it on Twitter...

I work around a lot of websites. And these websites are constantly updated with new content and images. Sometimes a site doesn’t look right.

This simply means that the browser you...

Happy February! January was the longest year ever, but we survived. I’m pulling out all my devices and creating a new project. I’m sharpening up my video editing abilities on Adobe Premiere. And it’s amazing how much fun I had just having some wine and editing last night. It’s one of the things I truly love. The editing is fun, too. Lol. The series will live on YouTube...

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.

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...
