After a week and a half of thunderstorms it was time to upgrade an old power strip so that my devices were protected. This does the trick!

Great Upgrade!

I recently purchased this 65" 8 series to replace my 6 series that was only two years old. At first I didn't think there was much difference but, once I made some pictures adjustments and watched something in 4k, I was sold! The blacks are deeper, colors are more vibrant, and the motion is crisp.
Samsung's updated UI is also great and easy to use.

In the market for a new phone I realized Best buy was having a sale on the Samsung Galaxy s8. I was able to save over $300 on this device. The phone shipped to me a day earlier than expected and set up and activation was a breeze.

Great way to save money!

Why didn't I do this long ago? When your ISP charges $11/mo to rent their modem, you normally don't pay it any mind... But, when you think of the small investment in purchasing your own equipment you shake your head at how much money you've been GIVING away.
I picked this Netgear Modem up for under $60 so, in less than 5 months it will have paid for itself! After that I'm looking at a savings of $156/year since my provider just raised their fee from $11 to $13/mo to rent their stuff.
Even though this is an inexpensive and entry level product, it is still capable of up to 340Mbps download speeds, which is more than twice as fast as what my provider is allowing me, so don't be fooled into thinking you need anything more expensive unless you need it.
Bottom line... if you have anywhere under 300DL/150UL speeds and don't have a telephone from your service provider, STOP THROWING AWAY MONEY and buy this Netgear Cable modem today!

Was lucky enough to pick this up on a closeout since it's last years model. Uses far less electricity than comparable models in same size class making it a huge selling point to me. 4K and Smart features weren't a necessity so I sprung for this particular LG. Very happy with the picture, sound, and design. Recommended for a spare TV, especially at this price point of $300

Awesome story! Entertaining for non-fans, also!

The tale of the young Han Solo was well told. His antics and attitude is well matched with Harrison Ford's witty character from the originals. Nice Easter eggs thrown in here and there. Entertaining thru and thru and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Can you hardwire ethernet?
You absolutely can. There apparently aren't a lot of hubs that work but this one has been reviewed online and proven to work great:

Look up Troypoint on YouTube for the video. Shows how to setup your Chromecast to use this hub and other external devices including Gigabit ethernet.

This Whalen Furniture BBXL54NV 3-in-1 console accommodates most flat-panel TVs up to 65" and 135 lbs. and features 2 tempered-glass shelves, so you can keep your home theater organized. A swivel mount helps you achieve a comfortable view of your TV.
What's the highest measurement at the highest of the mount and the bottom of the tv I have a huge center channel that I want to place right the TV I need close to 14" right under the tv bottom frame.
I used brackets to extend the upper mounting points for mine and was able to get just under 8"... You'll have to make some measurements and use some brackets on the back of your tv to get the mounting points lower. It's tricky but can be accomplished. I was able to get 4 more inches height from the original setup so another 4 is achievable but just be careful and make sure everything is secure and it doesn't cause a tipping hazard.
