TextNut Review – A Full Featured Markdown Editor for Mac

6 Sep, 2017

I’ve been looking for a new Markdown editor recently and I have stumbled upon TextNut. It’s a great markdown app with a lot of useful features! One of the first things I was really looking for was the ability to view all my files. I want to use an app that can replace Evernote, or similar notebook, […]

What’s the best all in one chat application for Mac?

21 Jul, 2017

Services Manageyum Supports

One app for all your chat windows seems to be the new thing right now. I’ve tested out quite a few and most are lacking features or stability. Franz is probably the most popular. It’s built on Electron, it’s free, and works really well. That is until it starts crashing. Once this happens you need […]

Apple Music isn’t for me; yet.

15 Jul, 2017

I tried out Apple Music’s three-month trial and figured out it’s not for me at this time. The best part about Apple Music is being able to ask Siri to play anything. Having Apple Music right at your finger tips is fantastic. It’s also great when I can download any song and add it to […]

Grammarly is an excellent free tool to help you write better.

5 Feb, 2017

Have you heard of Grammarly? Grammarly is a free (and paid) service that checks your writing for spelling and grammar mistakes. The best part is, it really works! I know the first thing a lot of people are going to say is that their operating system has spelling and grammar check too. It’s true, they […]

Why do we wear fitness trackers on our wrist?

28 Sep, 2016

I’ve been struggling with fitness trackers recently trying to figure out which ones are accurate. Turns out the issue isn’t always with the trackers, but where we wear them. Why do we wear them on our wrist? Who’s bright idea was it to track steps by putting something on your arm? If your fitness tracker […]

My first week with the Xiaomi Mi Band.

14 Aug, 2016

After I killed my FitBit, I decided try out the Xiaomi Mi Band. I’ve only had it for a week, but my first impressions are that it’s a great tracker at an extremely cheap price. The setup of the Mi Band was pretty simple. Granted, it did arrive with a dead battery so I charged […]

Fantastical 2 is a full featured Mac Calendar app including Google Hangouts links.

2 Aug, 2016

I finally broke down and got Fantastical 2. Yes, Apple’s calendar application is nice, but it’s also limited. I was tired of trying to utilize may different apps to get all the features that Fantastical provides out of the box. Plus Fantastical does it beautifully. One of the biggest advantages of Fantastical for me is that […]

Looking for a backyard playset? Get the Lifetime 90143 Monkey Bar Adventure Swing Set.

31 May, 2016

Once we moved into our new house, Lily missed her old swing set and slide. We hooked up a swing to a tree, but it wasn’t quite as good. It worked for a while, but we knew we had to keep our eyes out for a new swing set. Then, we found the Lifetime 90143 […]

7 Desktop Google Hangouts Apps for the Mac

20 May, 2016

I’ve been on the lookout for a Google Hangouts desktop app for the Mac and there are actually few decent choices out there. First off, I don’t want to run a Chrome extension and I don’t want to have to keep Gmail open in the background. That works for some, but it’s either out of sight, […]

Why I left DigitalOcean’s cheap hosting.

26 Jan, 2016

When I first heard about DigitalOcean I was excited as the price point was so low and the servers so nice. I knew I’d have to learn some things as I go, but I was happy to take it on. Turns out, I don’t have the time to learn all the things I need to […]
