I don’t know about you, but I like to have a status LED on my gadgets that lets me know when they are fully charged so I don’t have to manually turn them on to check the battery level. Most of the Android smartphones that I’ve owned have this feature, but Apple’s iPhones and iPads […]

We live in a condo building that was built in 1963. It’s a 14-story building with more than 100 units in it. In addition to each unit having their own fire alarms, there is a central fire alarm system for the entire building. Because the building is older, the systems in the individual units aren’t

Grilled cheese sandwiches and buttered toast are two of my favorites. But buttering the bread when the butter has been taken straight from the refrigerator can be challenging because cold butter doesn’t spread very easily. Taking the butter out ahead of time to soften is the easiest way to solve the problem, but for those times when you don’t

Headphones are capable of revealing too much information in music and all the minuses of Bluetooth seem to be magnified when they are wireless.
