When you’re calling an Uber to pick you up from your house, finding your driver isn’t hard (usually). When you’re calling an Uber to pick you up from a more crowded location, things can get way more complicated.
A few years ago I drove from California to North Carolina for Christmas with my dog. I had originally planned to fly for our month-long visit, but at 22 pounds, my pooch ended up being a bit too heavy to legally fly under my seat in his carrier and I wasn’t willing to fly him as cargo. And so: #FatTucker and I went on…
One of my favorite parts of traveling is having the opportunity to learn about new areas. I’m not really a guidebook person, so I typically rely on tidbits of info from walking tours, plaques on the side of the street, and conversations with people I meet to string together info about an area. This week I came across…
I love my Note 8. It’s fast, has a beautiful display, and it takes better pictures than any smartphone I’ve ever had. I hate the Bixby button.
If you don’t have any wine knowledge, figuring out what wine to serve with dinner can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. While most of us have a decent idea of what to serve with a steak, when it comes to other dishes like pizza or apple pie our current knowledge might fall a little short.
We all know that fruits and veggies that are currently in season are going to taste better and be more affordable than those that aren’t but remember what’s in season when can often be a bit of a challenge.
There’s no denying that Costco has some pretty solid deals on things. However, if you only want to shop here a few times a year, the store’s $60+/year membership requirement can be a huge deterrent (and will eat into those dollars you’re saving as well). Yes, you can still get some Costco products without a membership…
Despite being on the Do Not Call list, I’ve somehow managed to make it onto some sort of robocall list where a woman named “Ann” is trying to sell me health insurance. Ann calls me at least a dozen times a day from numbers around the country (what a traveler!) to let me know about all the deals she has available.…
MoviePass competitor Sinemia made it a bit more attractive to sign up for its service this week: it’s now offering $25 in free Restaurant.com gift certificates each month with every subscription.
People have always been able to reach out to the Instagram users they follow, and receive replies to their comments, by using the messaging feature baked into Instagram Stories. Thanks to a new questions sticker Instagram debuted, you now have a more formal (and fun) way to conduct interviews with your followers,…
Android: Sometimes you want to watch a video on YouTube and not have it show up in your history. For those moments when you need to go undercover, YouTube recently added an Incognito mode that makes it easier to watch videos without leaving a trace.
If you haven’t updated your iPhone to iOS 11.4 yet, you might want to hold off for a bit. The newest update to the operating system reportedly has a bug that will make your battery run out of juice a lot faster than it did prior to the update. As BGR notes, a thread on Apple’s support forum is already 35 pages deep…
As most Galaxy owners probably know, Samsung phones come with their own app store, Galaxy Apps, which includes items like new fonts and Edge setups for your device as well as other apps and games. It can be a great resource when you want to customize your phone and a great annoyance if you accidentally turn on…
If you have a Smart TV, then chances are good it came with Samba TV, a technology that allows marketers to track what you’re watching so they can send you ads relevant to your interests (and make show recommendations).
One of my favorite parts of traveling is meeting new people and exploring new cultures where I am. When you don’t know where to do to meet those people or have those unique cultural experiences, then things can get a little difficult.
MoviePass users that tried to catch a movie Friday night might have had an unexpected surprise: their app didn’t work. An outage Friday evening prevented a number of users from checking in to a film, making it so they had to spend cash to buy a ticket the old fashioned way if they still wanted to go see a movie.
This month Google finally made it possible for Android users to send text messages from their computer, a feature that iPhone/iMessage users have had for… forever.
If you’re interested in buying something on Amazon but the price is just a little too expensive for you right now, PriceAlert can track that items and let you know when the price gets low enough for you to bite the bullet and make the purchase.
Despite my constant claims that I’m going to move to an all-digital library, I still buy a ton of books. I’ve started to embrace the fact that I like having physical copies of things. Besides just loving act of holding a book while I’m reading it, it also makes things a ton easier to share with friends.
