For The Angler In Your Life – Alexa Meets Billy Bass
One of the most useless, but decently selling redneck hall of fame gifts, Big Mouth Billy Bass, is getting reborn as a useful, high tech smart speaker. Some nerds like me had already integrated Alexa functionality into Billy Bass a couple of years ago, but now it looks like it will soon be a commercially available product.

I've got my own "Bitmoji" now. I didn't create it or think that I needed one. I set my phone down where my friends Jena and Jenny got ahold of it and started the rather lengthy process where my "Bitmoji" was created. I got make a few decisions like hair color and football team...

I am as spoiled as anybody that I know. We have just about every luxury one can possibly imagine. But, while loading the dishwasher yesterday, our 11 year olds jaw hit the floor when I told her that when I was a kid, we never had a dishwasher...

Meet McDonald’s Newest Employees
Today was the first time I used one of these kiosks to place an order at McDonald's. At this time, there is still what appears to be a full staff of people at the registers, but I'm guessing the end game is to eliminate those people on the front line. This kind of stuff upsets some people. When Albertson's installed their self checkout (which has since been removed) a lot of people voiced concerns of disappearing jobs. I hate to say it, but it's a fact we'll all have to accept: If you're job is primarily pushing buttons in response to a customer's instructions, it's just a matter of time before they let the customer push the buttons for you.

Every time I go golfing, it's a little like moving from one house to another. I grab my clubs, sunscreen, iPod touch (with custom made playlists for that particular round and tailored to the people that I'm golfing with that day), Bluetooth speaker, range finder watch, laser range finder, just in case, along with assorted Koozies, jerky, and that often forgotten scorecard...

I got a new phone yesterday and the entire process just made me feel stupid. Here's a small list of things I didn't know the answers to, when asked yesterday. My GMail password. My iTunes password. My 4 digit code for the Verizon website...

Time for a New Phone
Here's my list. Root canals, colonoscopy, long meetings at work, and bad service at restaurants. I'd rather be going through any of these than have to go get a new phone. I don't know the products available, nor who has the least expensive phone that will suit my needs...

Top 3 Things We Miss Because Of Technology
It seems like yesterday...having a penpal, sending a letter or postcard or even remembering phone numbers by heart are just a few things that we used to do...then technology took over. A new survey asked people to name the things that have been replaced by technology that they miss the most...

Over the past few weeks I've seen the occasional post on Facebook about this website and never clicked because I assumed it was some type of cleverly devised spam. Today I decided to go check it out and it's legit.  This website, familytreenow...

I've got a smartphone, but I certainly don't need one. The old flip phone worked just fine for me. But, my contract was up and my sales person was good, and the next thing I know, boom, smartphone owner. So now, the new i-Phone SEVEN comes out today and people around the country are lining up to be the first to get one...
