Last time we looked at some of the neat features in Google’s newer device called "Chromecast." I liked the column so much I went out and bought one for my household. (Wow, I am easily persuaded.) It works as described with new features and applications being added all the time. I did have several reader…
This is a very popular way to convert your "almost" smart TV into a fairly intelligent one…at a very low cost. If you have not heard about it yet the item is called Chromecast which was developed by Google. It is a dongle…STOP! Some of you may need to know what a dongle is so…

Last week I wrote about the browser I favor most. I received many emails from folks telling me their thoughts on the matter. Thanks for the emails as I always appreciate hearing from you! There was a repeated theme from those emails regarding my favorite Android browser. This demonstrated to me that you readers know…
Apparently there are a few of you getting new computers for Christmas. (Do not let the kids read this if they do not know about it.) I have received many questions about what to do to set them up. I have several suggestions; however, one of the best I have written about before. If you…
Last week I mentioned a trip to the "big city" and using my GPS. So today, back to my big city experience. I was going somewhere and had just reinstalled Waze. I was also running the family GPS. They both directed me the exact same way on my 25 mile/35 minute trip. About three quarters…
