Hacked! A Spooky Halloween Tale

Once upon a midnight dreary, a connected consumer grew nervous and weary. He mailed in his hair (and not for free!), to the family tree company, 23andMe. No specter took over, no ghouls attacked. But still, just as scary, that firm was bloody hacked! That’s right. Earlier this month, a hacker stole data from the […]

With so many streaming options, are you using your services efficiently? Are you being double-billed for bundled services? Could you save […]

Spring into Tidied up Tech

It’s that time again! Time to sweep out the cobwebs and the empty pizza boxes that got us through the cold winter, and breathe some fresh air into our homes and workplaces. And, when you’re finished alphabetizing the contents of your pantry, your technology (physical and digital) could use some featherdusting as well. Here’s how: […]

Shop Smarter (not Harder) on Amazon

Pssssst. What’s the Password?

As we celebrate World Password Day next Thursday, please tell us that LAST World Password Day was not the last time you changed your password… We all know that as we continue to get more connected online—shopping, banking, networking, gaming, and even dating—it’s more critical than ever that we choose strong passwords and update them […]

Go On! Hug A Tree!

Arbor Day has been celebrated throughout the world since the very first tree-planting ceremony in Spain in 1594. The tradition has caught on in the US when in 1872, a newspaper editor in Nebraska proposed a holiday to celebrate and plant trees—more than one million trees were planted that first Arbor Day. Today, volunteers join […]

Techni-fy Your Travel

There was a time when traffic was going to be what traffic was going to be. When we knew our flight was cancelled when we rolled up to the gate to find a flight attendant shaking her head and directing us to the nearest Cinnabon. But times have changed, and technology is here to make […]

March Madness

It’s time! Time to set your brackets, put a few dollars on a Cinderella team you’ve never heard of, and learn that a computer or a turtle did better in their brackets than you did… It’s March Madness!! The men’s tournament kicks off Thursday, March 16th, and the bracket model, Sportsline, suggests we’re going to […]

HOW TO: Unsend an Email in Google

We’ve all done it. Hit “Reply All” when we meant to hit “Only reply to that one person so I can talk about everyone else.” Or sent a message noting the incredibly important document attached—and then forgot to attach the document. So, what can you do (besides panic/sweat/cry) while you wait for the recipients to […]

HOW TO: Shop on Black Friday

That’s a wrap. You’ve had your second piece of pie, you’ve packed up the turkey for tomorrow’s sandwiches, and the tryptophan is kicking in.
