Once the euphoria of unboxing your shiny new Android phone has calmed down a tad you’ll need to install your favourite Apps. Your first port of call should be Google Play where you’ll find more Apps than you ever thought possible. Here’s a selection I installed on my shiny new Galaxy S8 out of the […]
Retro Games Searching for your Childhood The other day, my wife asked me the name of a game she remembered from her childhood. She had been searching for it but had been unsuccessful so far. She thought it was a game from 1980’s or 1990’s and was for a PC (she didn’t have a console). […]

Acer Predator 21 X As you do, I stumbled across this monster whilst browsing some nerdy unboxing videos on YouTube (yes, I know) and to say I was gobsmacked would be a tad blasé. Unveiled at the IFA in Berlin last August and CES earlier this year, the Acer Predator 21X is the world’s first […]

Rather than ditch the Desktop and replace it with a […]
Pets Love Tech, Too As a pet owner, I am always looking for ways to keep my dogs amused when I am not home. Though I work from home and am with them most of the time, it is not uncommon to come home to something amiss. Their safety is also a priority. All four […]
Google Maps I have never owned a GPS and am one of the most navigation-impaired people you will ever meet. When I came across Google Maps, I was ecstatic. I’ve never gotten lost using it. In the past, I would use MapQuest and print out instructions before going somewhere. I would have to divert my attention […]
So, just recently I promised my oldest son that I would buy him an Xbox One. He earned it and I always wanted one (it is for my son- I swear). With any new device nowadays there is some location tracker set up on them. Now, for myself, I’m a little paranoid and I don’t […]
Geek Gifts Yes, It is that time where the holidays are over and the tax refund is hopefully coming in. What should you do with some of that extra money? Glad you asked! If you know me, you know I love finding cool tech/geeky gadgets to buy for yourself or someone else. With this little […]
Android Tablet A guy recently bought me his Android tablet and he wanted me to download a few TV programs on it, like The Jefferson’s, Three’s Company and The Cosby Show.
