2018 Sites in Review, Part 2

Today I will continue with the start of the 18th year of “Double Click” by providing more of last year’s links. If the site addresses are too long for print, I have shortened them using the “bit.ly” app. Copy them, then paste them in your browser’s address bar to visit the sites. If you type…

2019 Sites in Review, Part 1

It is hard to believe but today we begin the 18th year of the "Double Click" column.  I want to thank all of you for reading the almost 900 articles.  Thanks for the emails I continue to receive.  Not only does it let me know the articles are actually being read but I really enjoy…

Tech Christmas Presents

I think I started something new. From some of the emails I received after last week’s article I found that some of you would like me to run a series regarding possible techie Christmas gifts. As always, thank you for the emails and ideas. I enjoy them all. Since the 25th is one week from…

Watch This

Before I start today’s article I want to thank those of you who responded about the Google Photos features I talked about last month. I am glad to you found a lot of useful information from them, it was my pleasure. Today, one of my readers wrote to ask me about a specific Christmas present…

Google Photos for Christmas

OK, Christmas time is coming followed up by New Year do you think you will be taking a few pictures?  You betcha! So, a couple of weeks ago I wrote several articles about some of the advantages of Google Photos. Go back and read that if you missed it. There are several good tips there….

Christmas Notebooks

There are so many brands, price ranges, different bells and whistles, people’s needs and more. And the, “What should I include in a new one?” question is again…vast. There are way too many choices today….

Save Money with GasBuddy

I was dumbfounded when Charles wrote to ask a question about GasBuddy. I knew I had written about that in the past.  So, I looked in my files for the article so I could send it to him. I could not find one as I apparently have never talked about it before. So off we…

As a follow-up to the last time when we looked at Google Photos due to the number of emails I received, we will continue this week. We will look at a few more of them that may surprise you. First, how about grouping all of your friends and family by face. So if you need…

Google Photos, Part 1

OK, before some of you write me this week asking why I am pushing a Google product again let me head off your questions.  No, I do not own Google stock, I am not paid by them, I do not have any ties to the tech-giant, I have never received a kickback or even a…
