Last month I went to Outside Lands, a 3-day music festival in San Francisco where musical artists from pretty much every genre out there performed on a bunch of different stages around Golden Gate Park. Regardless of what type of music was being played, each stage had one thing in common: Someone (or lots of people)…
When you’re casually shopping the chocolate aisle, it’s easy to presume that everything on the shelf in fancy packaging is high quality, but that’s not always the case. Just like wine, fancy packaging doesn’t always mean what’s inside is something you want. However, understanding the product description every bar can…
Last week a friend of mine tried to print his boarding pass for a return trip home from San Francisco and ran into trouble. No matter how many times he reloaded Delta’s site or tried checking in on his phone, he kept getting a message that he wouldn’t be able to print his boarding pass. At the time we attributed it to…
If you’ve ever tried cooking dinner for a group, you know that coming up with something that everyone is excited about can be a bit of a challenge.

If you always leave Bluetooth on your phone on, you might want to rethink things.
In order to be classified as a “craft beer,” The Brewer’s Association requires the brewery making it to be small, independent, and traditional. That means that while some breweries owned by companies like Anheuser-Busch might call themselves “craft” they aren’t. If you don’t pay close attention, it can be hard to tell…

When it comes to email clients, there are a ton of options out there. For the past week, I’ve been using Boxy. Originally launched in late 2015, the company put out version two this time last week, which adds a lot of new features to the original product while maintaining the stuff people loved about the company’s…
The term mansplaining is relatively new, but the concept is an old one. If you’re not familiar, the term refers to when someone (most often a man, thus mansplain) explains something to someone (typically a female) in a condescending or patronizing way. If you’re a woman, then chances are this happens to you on a…
Equifax’s “security incident” earlier this week affected 143 million Americans. That’s a huge number of people, which means that the chances that either you or someone you know being affected are pretty high. Equifax’s site was even providing positive results for fake social security numbers at one point.
With the approach of Irma and aftermath of Harvey, there’s started to be a ton of #fakenews circulating about everything from whether or not you can have pets in hotels, to if can catch the plague from flood waters.

There are a lot of options out there to send secure and self-destructing messages to others. But what if you really just want to send them a message using Gmail?

The NFL officially kicked off this week. However, if you’re looking to stream the games live via Amazon, you’ll have to wait a bit longer.

If you’re currently enrolled in school, Spotify and Hulu just announced a pretty awesome deal. The duo is offering both Hulu and Spotify Premium together for just $4.99/per month. The Verge notes that’s already the cost of Spotify’s student plan, so they’re basically throwing in Hulu for free.
After announcing a “security incident” that impacted 143 million customers Thursday, Equifax is offering customers a year of free credit monitoring by way of an apology. The credit monitoring may seem like a good deal (free is free, right?), but if you were one of the customers affected by the security breach, you…
