In this economy, it gets harder each day to justify the TV subscription. Frankly, the only thing that keeps me “wired” (I have DirecTV) is NBC Sports and NHL Network. I have the NHL.tv package, so I can watch the Islanders anywhere and everywhere, but the few times where they move a game to NBCSN or NHL, those games…

Last Pass is easier for multiple platforms than 1Password, but I prefer to use 1Password on my iPhone and iPad. Now that I have a MacBook too, I primarily use keychain rather thanLast Pass, et al. I’m stuck on a windows PC with Chrome at work, so I still have Last Pass there, but I doubt I’ll bother to add it to my…

Absolute disaster (see above post). It comes off the charger and runs like a heat seeking missile for the nearest thing it can beach itself on or jam itself under. In two years, it has completed its cleaning cycle twice.

Every day when you come home, you get to play “where’s roomba.” Every day, it sets off from its charging dock at 9:00 AM (user set), whereupon it then seeks out the quickest way to beach itself on something or jam itself under something, leaving the house just as dirty as when you left. And after you find Roomba, you…

Pebble makes some good smartwatches, but the materials are generally kinda flimsy. Now that you can get an Apple Watch for under $200, it makes little sense to spring for a Pebble. I got my Apple Watch over the summer, and my son has a Pebble. Like I said, the Pebble is really pretty good, but it isn’t even in the…

Teds from Canada, so he watches a real sport: hockey!

Where to start? It’s way too expensive. Also, it has a 100 mile operational range. I know it can go about 200 miles on a charge, but you can’t drive 200 miles, pull into a gas station, and pull out again five minutes later. It means you have to make sure you can get home again and not need it long enough to charge it.…

I spent my life playing hockey and lacrosse. Hockey has a problem with concussions too, but they have made great strides in dealing with it (unfortunately this was after my playing career, so I had many concussions before we really understood them).

Now I’m a little less angry at the Lightning for eliminating my Islanders (beat the Penguins, and all is forgiven...)

The Islanders aren’t going anywhere. They didn’t move to Brooklyn on a whim, and they aren’t going to pack up and move back to Nassau Coliseum at midnight. Stop dreaming and come back to reality.

Clearly, we just need to ban talking on your phone while driving, oh, wait, we did that. Ok, then just ban texting while, oh, did that too. Shouldn't highway deaths be falling? The nanny state has us covered.

We need more “zero emissions vehicles.”

Now that Sprint has gone away from the subsidized phones to leases or financed purchases (through Apple), I am concerned that when I have to upgrade I will find that the $15 a month for an iPhone 6S will be in ADDITION to what I am already paying (which theoretically was to cover the price of an iPhone). I only see…

One of the many reasons I left NY for NV 20 years ago.

That was my first thought on reading this article!

As a diehard Nets fan, I'm really enjoying this! The past couple of off-seasons have been like the old MAD military buildup between the U.S. and USSR. Fortunately, the Nets have gone back to running a basketball team, while the Knicks are still playing Cold War. Both teams will battle for last place this year, but the…

This knee-jerk blanket condemnation is the same thinking that got cell phones banned in cars in most states. One person talking on a cell phone drifts all over the freeway narrowly missing fifty other people talking and driving just fine, and next thing we know, we have a law banning cell phones. No proportion at all.…

Sorry guys, but baseball is so incredibly boring, any amount is too much. With the Stanley Cup Playoffs just starting, it amazes me that anyone still watches baseball. I started a youth lacrosse program in my town, and the baseball program is dying as a result. Pretty soon, no one will be playing baseball either.…

Ahhhh, got it. Thanks!

Ahhhh, got it. Thanks!

OK, but could you give me some specifics?
