As we head into hibernation season, we more or less become cooped up inside to snuggle under the covers and binge watch anything and everything. One show I recommend is Black Mirror (Netflix). (Warning: this show is not for the fainthearted. Taking breaks to regain belief in humanity and staying far away from your phone or computer is highly suggested!)
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, some Simple Technological Advances I’m Thankful For:
Wireless Headphones
This may change once I own a pair, but for now they seem, to me, genius. I already have added Wireless Bose Soundsport to my wishlist for Santa.
The holidays are not only a Season of Joy, but also the Season of Spam. Holiday email scams are sent in the billions this time of year. People let their hair down over Christmas and New Year, our guards are down. This gives online criminals an opportunity to install malware, fool consumers with phishing campaigns, and unleash mayhem. Malware increases at an alarming rate during the holidays, and email spam is a primary cause. So, what is spam and how do we avoid it?
(Surface Pro 3 and newer)
Congrats! You may be the proud owner of a new Surface! You have, quite possibly, one of the best computers ever offered, AND it functions as a tablet! Let’s dive into how you can get the best out of it!
I’ve been getting back to the gym after a long hiatus. The first two weeks are always a struggle, but I find that week 3 is really where it start to feel right. This may come as a surprise, but I favor weights when I go to the gym. A friend and I did a couple powerlifting meets back in college for fun, and we placed well, but nagging aches and imbalances have stopped me from returning to it full-force. We’re done with that, though! My drive has cannoned back into the gym, a round shot of pure determination and killer instinct!
