Gotta get some new RAM for an old computer running PC3-10600. Adding 8 GB should be more than enough.

Supermoon Shopping on a Sunday Night
I blame the impending supermoon for this assortment of purchases. A surprise twin pack of overgrips in random colors. A replacement grip. A replacement watch band at 18mm.
Amazon Music, I Don’t Get It
Obviously I have research to do about Amazon’s new music service, but I don’t get it. The service is a competitor to Spotify and Apple Music. But it’s different than the music available from the Amazon Prime subscription. And although I already pay for Amazon Prime, this doesn’t give me access to my this separate […]

Apple Watch Google Maps and Apple Maps Battery pack Small camera Yelp Adidas Ultra Boost ST Coolmax socks Apple Watch I had just gotten my Apple Watch before our NYDC16 trip and it was good […]
Apple Watch Stand Shopping
Looking for a stand for my Apple Watch. Right now, the best selling stand on Amazon is a bamboo block cut to hold the watch and an iPhone. Kinda cool and very affordable, but I’m looking for something a little more modern looking, so I’m going with the still-affordable LXORY XStand. It’s that orange highlights […]
Amazon Prime Day on July 12
Tuesday, July 12, 2016 is Amazon’s second annual Prime Day where Prime members get access to deals and other exclusives. But yes, you need to be a (paying) member of Amazon Prime in order to partake. Supposedly Amazon sold more on Prime Day than Black Friday. You in?

First, the handle cracked and now the flapper has problems opening and closing. Time for a flapper replacement.
Amazon’s Alexa Needs Some NBA Schooling
While my general experience with my Amazon Dot and Alexa has been good, someone needs to educate Alexa about the format series of the NBA playoffs. When I asked for my sports update, this is how Alexa replied. Did you catch that Spurs and Thunder report? Yes, OKC took the Western Conference Semifinal series from […]
Light It Up!
Looking for a floor lamp that lights up the area for reading purposes, not overall room lighting. At 4.8 stars out of nearly 2000 ratings, this Brightech floor lamp looks like it’ll do the job.
Amazon Alexa Devices – Echo, Echo Dot, and Tap
Joining the Amazon Echo device is the new Amazon Tap and Echo Dot. All of these are powered by Alexa and have me interested. The original Echo does it all from a fixed location. The Tap is like a mobile Echo since it’s battery powered but you do need to touch/tap it before it pays […]
LED Bug Lights
Time to replace incandescent bug lights with an LED version and see how they work. Apparently, a few LED bug lights are merely regular LED lights with a yellow coating on the bulb, not actual yellow light. Amazon reviews say the effect of not-attracting bugs is the same although overall brightness from the light sounds […]
