How does it go? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. I have a rechargeable flashlight from Radio Shack. I got it on Black Friday (yes, it’s an adventure!) and I’m sure I paid about $10 for it. I know I used it last Halloween, so it must have been the Black Friday before …
Washer machine. Broken. Enough said. Well perhaps not… We have a front loading washing machine. It has what’s called a bellow – a large rubber gasket between the door and the drum. It’s torn once and we had it replaced out of warranty. Well, it happened again. So, this time …
Ok. It’s not tech. There’s not even an app for it. I checked. But for someone that spends no time in the kitchen but still eats food and would like to serve it once in a while – this is really cool! I walked by this dozens of times. Finally, …
Well we did it. We bought a new lawn mower and weed wacker. Doesn’t sound techy eh? Well how about if I told you they both run off battery? Yep. Full electric. Both of them. The mower was purchased from Home Depot. Same for the trimmer. The former can bag, …

However, the deals are regional with the closest offerings to …
The meeting is at 7pm tonight, June 6th. It’s at the Vero Beach Main Public Library near downtown. We use the auditorium which is accessible from the south entrance. For more info, visit www.vbcg.org.
We have safe places to store our money – banks. What about a safe place to store our media? I can foresee a need for somewhere to keep our digital magazine subscriptions, our songs, our pictures, etc. Some place safe. Some place that won’t go under or keep us from …
Best Buy will announce there new buy back program to “future-proof” technology purchased from them during a Super Bowl commercial. Although the news has been out for a couple of days, I wanted to think about what this means. A retail company is guaranteeing that you can trade-in your old …
