Photography is a fairly large interest of mine as some people might already know. I was first introduced to photography by my grandfather when he let me borrow his Pentax 35mm SLR for a school field trip when I was about 12 years old. Since then, I have always enjoyed taking photos and it is…
Product Review: Dell Inspiron 5675 Gaming Desktop
One thing that I know my kids will grow up around will be computers. If I count the computers in our house the number would be 5 actual computers; 2 desktops and 3 laptops. This does not count tablets or smartphones either, that would just bump up the number a tad. Are all those computers…
Product Review: Netgear Powerline PL1200 Extend Your Network
Most homes these days have some sort of computer network. Be it wired with cables or wireless with Wi-Fi. Though, say you want to extend your network into a bedroom or a newly renovated home office. You might not feel comfortable punching holes in walls and running Ethernet cables around the house, or perhaps your…
Product Review: TopFin 10 Gallon LED Starter Kit
Even since I purchased the little 5 gallon Eclipse fish tank system I’ve been quite happy with it. Essentially everything you needed to start an aquarium was built all in one neat little package. You got the tank, the lighted hood, the filter. All you needed to do was add some substrate, water and of…
Keeping Babies Safe – Crib Tent
I have not gotten around to it, but our kids sleep in the same room together. A recap on their ages, “A” is 3 years old and “W” is 10 months old. Up until today, both kids have been sleeping in their own cribs. A is in a regular sized crib and W is in…
Big Brother Is Watching You
When I was little we definitely did not have the technology we have today. Especially when it came to monitoring our kids, more specifically babies, infants and toddlers. One of the gadgets that I have noticed that parents typically look at when they have kids these days is some sort of electronic monitor. These can…
New Member of our Household; Monkey the Betta
When we had a tour of “A”‘s preschool a couple of weeks ago, a large bowl caught my eye. Inside this large bowl was a red fiery fish; a Betta splendens named Monkey. You probably know them as Siamese Fighting fish. Well that had me thinking, I wonder if “A” and “W” would enjoy having…
Backing Up Family Phone Photos with WD MyCloud
In this day and age of technology, a lot of people have smartphones. The downside to some of those smartphones is that lack of expanding storage space (yes Apple, I am looking at you!). Even with the ability to expand on storage, you may want to access smartphone photos from a central location. What about…
Product Review: Gro-Clock
Right off the bat I’d like to say what might work for some, may not work for others and vice versa. We started to sleep-train A at age, I think 6 months? I’m sure I am wrong on that but it was fairly close to that age. He’s been pretty awesome in the sleeping at…
