My 3 Favorite Features of the Kindle Paperwhite
Two years ago, my wife bought me an Amazon Kindle for Christmas. Of all the Christmas gifts I’ve received over the years, this is probably the one that has been used the most. Now called the “Kindle Keyboard”, the model I had was my first foray into the Kindle world, and I really enjoyed it. […]
Fighting at Best Buy, and The Case for Slowing Down
Yesterday, my new phone arrived. I think I heard the “Hallelujah Chorus” ringing out when the FedEx guy dropped it at our doorstep. A brand-spanking-new Samsung Galaxy S4. Unlocked on a new mobile network (Ting Mobile – click here to get $25 off your plan or device!). And since we both got these phones, our […]
8 Ways to Automatically Organize and Simplify Your Digital Life with Evernote
“Oh, here we go again.” That’s likely what you’re thinking. “Another post about Evernote. I am so tired of the Evernote fanboys. I don’t like it, see no purpose for it, and don’t want to use it.” And hey, that’s okay. If you’re passionately against using Evernote, then you can skip this post – see […]
Why “Going With the Flow” is Terrible For You
We are surrounded by opinions. Everybody’s got one, and they’re always about you: what you should be doing, what matters, what’s important, what makes you “cool” or “normal”. As early as grade school, we are taught that we have expectations to live up to. That’s fine. As organisms, we tend to be pretty lazy by […]
3 Overlooked Things Our Bodies Are Built to Do

Squeeze Reading into Any Part of Your Day
Reading Week continues today with a look at how to find time to read. We’ve already talked about when reading went south for us, making it easier to do, and finding an outlet to share our experience. We’ve established the following, if you’ve come this far: you like to read. You know that it’s important […]
Make Reading Easy on Yourself
This week, I’m focusing on the act of reading, which is one of the major points of this blog for myself. Yesterday, I talked about how I fell out of love with reading (and why you probably did, too). Today, I talk about falling back in love with reading. After losing the “fire” for reading, […]
Why the Kindle is the Only Way I Read
I do love my gadgets. When I hear about some new piece of technology, I start Googling around to look at specs, reviews, and all that nerdy stuff. I eat it up. If that makes me a geek, then I’m a proud geek. However, I’m pretty particular when it comes to spending my money. I […]
