In recent years, these talented folks have some innovative methods to shield their precious vines from the detrimental effects of...

Tampa is almost set for the Super Bowl

What a year it’s been for Tampa sports. The Lightning won the Stanley Cup, the Rays played in the World Series and now the Bucs are a game away from making the Super Bowl. That Super Bowl will be played right here in Tampa. If they beat the Packers on Sunday, they’ll have done something no team has done before: Played in the Super Bowl hosted by their own city. That would be amazing...

Up in the Air: Brickell Corner

A few weeks ago I took the Phantom 2 Vision + out for a little flight time with my fiance’s family. The sun was setting in Brickell and there were plenty of people going about their daily business.

Phantom 2 Vision Plus travel case

When I got my Phantom 2 Vision Plus from DJI my biggest concern was learning how to fly without crashing the thing. That would come relatively quickly (no crashes yet, knock on wood), and now I’m starting to take some great video with the Phantom 2 Vision Plus.

How to read all your old tweets on Twitter

Twitter is quite a way to communicate, isn’t it!? I love it. But it wasn’t always that way. In 2009, I thought Twitter was childish. Who the hell is going to post two sentences and have it mean anything to anyone? Well, I was clearly wrong. It’s blown up to be how many of us gather news, communicate with friends, family and colleagues, tell jokes, find out drama and learn about...

GeekLift: Spacebar trick, Google power search and CCP hotkeys

What’s a GeekLift? Simple. It’s boosting your geekiness. Since moving to Miami, I’ve seen plenty of face-lifts, boob-lifts, butt-lifts, boat-lifts, you name a lift, I’ve probably seen it. Sure, those things may make you look more attractive (or support that nice boat), but they don’t make you smarter! With a GeekLift, you’re learning basic tips and tricks to...
