• When Adding Technology to Your Home, Don’t Forget the Master Bedroom

    When Adding Technology to Your Home, Don’t Forget the Master Bedroom Over the past 10 years or so, people have been in the process of adding more and more technology to their homes. The focus has been disproportionately on living rooms. We get it. The living room is very important. But it is not the room you spend most of your waking hours. No, it’s not the bathroom either, no matter how it might seem at times. At least eight out of every 24 hours, you are in bed, or at least in the room where the bed happens to be. At first blush, you might think that the bedroom is a good place to unplug from technology. But the current generation of techies never really unplug. The tech just goes into sleep mode from time to time. Rather than fighting technology in the room where you spend most of your life, here are some ways to embrace it: Watch TV in Bed People have been watching TV in bed for a very long time. There is no reason why you shouldn’t do it too. Technology has made it easier than ever, and a lot more interesting. With the newer…

  • Nikon D7000 Glass Screen Protector

    I have a glass screen protector on all my electronics. It’s the smartest thing I add to them! Honestly! My Samsung Galaxy S4 crashed to the cement 2 weeks ago and shattered the screen. I do mean SHATTERED, the glass screen protector kept everything in one piece. Now I am even more sold on the protectors. With all that said I have to admit I never even thought about protecting the screen on my Nikon. The viewing screen on my Nikon D7000 is large and protected by a plastic screen. Which is great sorta, over the years this plastic screen has been scratched and gone cloudy. The screen has definitely protected my screen from damage. However, the screen isn’t easy to see through anymore. I am thrilled with the Mystery Nikon Glass Protector Film; the Ultra-Thin Tempered Glass HD Screen Protector. This protector is way stronger than the plastic protector that use to be on my camera. This has an Optical 9H Hardness and yet it is super thin! 0.33mm ultra-thin!! Installation is amazing. The tempered glass film literally melts on the camera in just a few easy steps. I think the most important step is getting all the dust off your…

  • PowerSkin, Extended Battery Case Galaxy S4!

    Extended battery phone case

    I love my mobile phone. I am lost without it. We are talking serious withdrawals when the battery is dead. Unfortunately, as great as my Galaxy S4 is the battery life is HORRIBLE! With just using the phone feature I’m lucky to last 5 hours. Add radio? Faaagetaboutit. Adding the PowerSkin Extended Battery Case made specifically for the S4, has not only made my battery last all day (and I do mean ALL DAY) but it protects my phone with the silicone case. Unfortunately, my phone has been dropped several times; yes, I’m blaming the 4-year-old. I’m pleased to report that my phone has survived unscathed; no dents, scratches or cracks. The PowerSkin Extended Battery Case feels great in my hand. The silicone outer layer is not just soft but durable too. The PowerSkin has a 1600mAh integrated battery. The case is longer than the Samsung Galaxy S4 phone itself because the battery is built-in to the case. Adding the PowerSkin gives me an additional four and half hours of talk time. Not just the extra talk time, but days where I don’t use my phone much I have an additional 100 HOURS of standby time. This is truly a smart…
