My 6-year-old and I have been enjoying a children’s book series called “You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You.” These books are formatted for two people to take turns reading different parts, like a script. We sit side-by-side, playing different characters and doing all the silly voices (I’m expecting a nod from the…Read more...

iOS: The part I hate most about any kind of weight-loss plan is the whole “I have to pull out my phone and type in everything I eat to keep me honest” aspect. Because as much as I pretend I can do mental math when it comes to the food I eat, I tend to forget a handful of raisins here, a protein bar there, a miniature…Read more...

You could have set your watch by it: As soon as Netflix struck gold with Orange Is the New Black, someone had the bright idea that to make a reality show about a women’s prison.

Nothing about Labo VR Kit, Nintendo’s foray into virtual reality, should work. Compared to other virtual reality systems, the frame-rate is sluggish and the graphics are kind of crap. It’s so cheaply constructed it’s literally made of cardboard. There’s no huge, immersive world to get lost in. There’s not even a strap…Read more...

You’re not a proper homeowner until you’ve got a few stacks of half-used paint cans stashed in a dark corner of your basement, attic or shed.

iOS: If you’re having trouble finding a good parental control app in the iOS App Store, there’s a reason for that: MDM, or Mobile Device management. According to Apple, apps using MDM “incorrectly” pose serious security risk, and so the company is cracking down—but what does this actually mean?Read more...

It probably won’t surprise you to find out that I can be oddly stubborn about seemingly inconsequential matters. Such was the case with juicing lemons and limes.

When you’re in the early stages of your personal finance journey, the majority of your financial goals tend to revolve around specific numbers:

Good party food can be eaten without plates or flatware. This means it should be stab-able, scoop-able, or come pre-loaded onto an edible delivery system. You won’t be able to stab anything with an endive leaf, but it makes an excellent scoop, and a truly elegant delivery system.Read more...
