This game takes you back, it's new and different and even weird, but it still manages to keep that Mario magic. I also find it as easy or as difficult as you want it to be, which is great.

I really really want to become a Photoshop wiz. I like the idea of making my new photos pop. But I was always intimated by Photoshop, so I thought I would give Elements a try thinking it was the "beginners" version of Photoshop. Well, I think it is, but it is still difficult to use for those with little to no experience with any photo editing programs.
After installing the software, you are given no instructions.You have to kind of click around to navigate the menus. What I did is click "on Guided" mode and I was able to edit my photos. The coolest thing I did was Photoshop a face onto another photo. It was surprisingly easy.
Once you run through the guided mode, things get easier. You can also utilize the walk through videos which are helpful, but you're better off going on YouTube and watch instructional videos.
Elements also acts as a photo organizer, but I didn't try it out, all of my photos are kept on Google Photos so I don't need another program to organize my photos. I just download the photos that I need/want to Photoshop.
It's a great, powerful photo editing software. But you must put in the time. If you don't think you're patient enough to teach yourself, this may not be for you. Just know you'll have to teach yourself.

I'm was using Bose SoundSport headphones but I kept having issues with them falling out my ears while working out. And, they tend to die in the middle of a run if you start with the battery level at 40%. I wanted to jump on the completely wireless fad and I was too nervous about the ear bud types, so I was excited to try the "hook" design of the JB Labs version.
First the packaging. It sounds silly, but you can tell how much care a company puts into their product by the packaging. The headphones come in a hardshell plastic case and when you open it up, you have easy access to the vast number of ear tips (they get props for giving you MORE than they should have).
If you're like me and normally go with the default ear tips because you're lazy, you should rethink it. I foudn the default tips didn't stay on my ear very well. I spent some time testing out almost all of the tips and found the ones that worked great. Take your time and try them out for the best possible experience.
That charging case... I was impressed that JB Labs not only gave you a microUSB charging cable, but they smartly designed it to be Incorporated in the case. It literally wraps around the case so it's always there when you need it. Very impressive. The case also has a battery meter on top. Very convenient. The headphones fit in the case and the lid shuts down with a satisfying snap to keep them in place and charging.
The setup was pretty simple. The included instructions are dead simple and easy to follow. I recommend reading them first. You set up one earpiece to your phone and then the second earpiece connects to the first earpiece. After setting it up the first time, you turn on the earpiece you set up first (which connects to your phone and the other earpiece connects automatically).
Once it's set up for the first time, it's pretty easy to use. I love the charging case as it always makes sure your headphones won't die in the middle of a workout. And all you have to do is look at the gauge on the case itself to make sure there's adequate charge.
Now, on to my quips. The audio regularly drops out in one of the earpieces when working out. It's only for a fleeting second, but it's enough to mention a warning here. It doesn't bother me while I'm working out and it could be the phone I use or interference (I Use a Pixel 1). It always reconnects without me doing anything, so to me it's no harm no foul. BUT that might be a problem for others. If I were using these to lounge around and relax and listen to music, then yes, it would be a problem. But for me, I'll take the minor annoyance for the convenience of charging case and no wires. And I must point out this is my experience, it may not happen to you.
Sound quality. I'm no audiophiliac but I can say that these sound pretty good. The bass doesn't resonate quite like my Bose SoundSports but they are acceptable. And I keep going back to the fact that these are workout headphones. For me, I'm not looking for perfect sound quality but decent sounding headphones and are immune to sweat. These fit the bill.
If you are looking for completely wirefree workout headphones, these have to be on your short list. I can't find many (actually any) that have the hook design that are in my humble opinion essential for strenuous workouts. I'm extremely satisfied with these headphones.

I really loved the primitive future storyline. I think it's a refreshing take. The graphics are phenomenal and the controls are tight. The game does a good job of holding your hand when needed, but not being too much. It's a great time (I haven't finished it yet) and I like the simple RPG elements. It's not too overbearing for people like me who don't have a ton of time to invest in games but like to pick up and play when you can.

Sony is clearly taking their design inspiration (for Google Home products) from Google. Which in my opinion is a good thing, I like the modern aesthetic with muted gray. I personally like the Sony speaker better than Google Home because of the complete coverage of the speaker with fabric, rather than the bottom third of the Google Home. The Sony speaker is a bit taller and also has more heft. I can't describe it, it just feels more premium (that's not to say the Google Home feels cheap or anything, just personal preference).
I have both Google Home and this Sony speaker, I keep the Google Home in the kitchen and the Sony one in my bedroom. Reason being, I liked the clock in the Sony speaker and wanted it on my night stand. Well, that was a mistake. In the middle of the night, those tiny little digits practically illuminate half of my bedroom. I can't figure out if you can turn down the brightness. For now, I've turned it away from my bed (eliminating it's usefulness) and while it's still bright, it doesn't bother me as much.
In terms of setup, it's identical to Google Home. If you've already installed the Google Home app and used it before, adding the Sony speaker could not be easier. You literally plug it in, and bam, it's in the app and it's essentially set up (you tap a few OK buttons). If it's your first go with Google Home App, it's still simple, you just need to download the app and go through some simple tutorials.
The sound is better than the Google Home, but only marginally. You won't notice it when Google Home is talking, or probably even with a podcast playing. But when you're listening to music, it does sound better, as it has richer bass and higher highs. It seems more clear. But again, the difference is negligible. It claims to have 360 degree sound, but that seems like a marketing gimmick. I didn't put it in the middle of the room and walk around it to test it out. I mean, generally it will be near a wall where an outlet is.
Speaking of outlet, the AC plug is HUGE! It requires the bottom plug in your outlet. Not only is it long, but it extends out from your wall pretty far. So keep that in mind, doesn't sound like a big deal until you're trying to plug it in so it's in the perfect spot in your home.
In terms of Google Home features, there really isn't much to say. The microphone is extremely responsive, I found no difference in response time or understanding my voice than the Google Home. It works as advertised.
The one big knock are the physical buttons. So, on the Google Home, you can touch the top and spin your finger in a circle to turn the volume up or down. I don't do it much, but it's convenient when you're in your room laying in bed. Sometimes I've been listening to music, so the volume is up, and when I set my alarm through Google Home, I don't want the alarm to be as loud as the music, so I want to turn the volume down (when no music is playing) when I get into bed. I also don't want to wake my wife up by saying "Hey Google" and risk Google waking her up. So I want to turn the volume down manually. The touch controls on the Sony speaker quite frankly suck. It responds to touch maybe half of the time. Google Home is 100% of the time. The Sony speaker has no touch gesture controls, but that is no good either. You're supposed to wave your hands in specific directions but that's too dicey. I just want to turn volume up and down, that's it.
Other than the small issues of bright clock digits and nonresponsive volume controls, this is a great sounding Google Home Speaker. I can live with my little complaints and would take this one over the Google model for the better sound quality (even if it is negligible, the Sony speaker gets louder).

I had a MyQ garage door opener in my previous house and I loved it. I wanted to convert my new house (with old motor) to be a "smart garage." The benefits are a no brainer, I set a schedule for my garage to close at a certain time every morning and night so in case someone left it open, it's closed. You can literally check whether your door is open anywhere you have internet connection on your phone. Those benefits, were present in my older house (with new MyQ motor) and I was able to obtain with my newer house (with old non-smart motor).
The bad part, at least for me, is the lack of any Google Home integration. Now, truth be told, you never really need it. I mean when will you be inside your house and need to open the garage? You generally open the door when you walk into the garage. And when you do need to open it (when you're outside, say you went on a walk) your Google Home isn't there. But I like all of my smart home devices to be integrated into as few apps as possible. I now have a another app (Google Home, Arlo, Linksys WiFi, Nest, Chamberlain, etc.) But again, this is by no means a deal breaker, you won't find yourself (I wouldn't think) using the app all that often, but it is just too convenient when you need it. And $100 is nice piece of mind.
Now, onto setup. It's pretty easy. Although I will say that the instructions leave much to be desired. They're not wrong, but they don't explain to you how the device works (i.e. how the hub connects to your "dumb" garage door motor). Ends up, the small controller that attaches to the door sends old school garage door codes (i.e. it's another garage door opener) and that connects to your hub and the hub connects to your WiFi network.
Setting up on iPhone was a pain, you have to connect to the hub's WiFi, go to the browser, type in a URL, type in WiFi connection, download app, and then open app. I could not, for the life of me, get the app to recognize the hub. Finally I entered the serial number which was on the box. It wasn't hard, don't get me wrong, but it just seemed more difficult than it needed to be and if the instructions actually had some descriptions in it (other than download the app and follow the instructions) it would have been more straightforward.
All in all, I recommend this unversal device. I actually really recommend a new motor with MyQ built in (because I do worry about errors in the app telling me garage door open when it's not and vice a versa, my worries are in part because I don't know how the MyQ devices talk to each other) but that's a lot more expensive. This is a cheap way to get make your home a smart one.
But note that you need an additional purchase to make this Apple Homekit compatible! I don't use it or need it, but wanted to put that out there for your Apple folks.

I've always wanted to try a good electric razor. I got tired of buying foam and razors regularly. But what's always been a barrier is the price of the electric shaver and the cost of replacement shaving heads. This Philips razor is a bit pricey, but I think that if you know you want an electric shaver or you just want to upgrade, this is a good value.
If you've never used an electric shaver before, I'd be a bit weary about jumping right in with something this pricey, because you may not like it. The instruction manual tells you that you should use it for 3 weeks before your skin will get used to it, but that's a long time to wait with uncomfortable skin. For me, I've been using it for about a week now and my skin feels ok (although I did have an ingrown hair show up after 1st use).
Keep in mind I'm writing this as a person who hasn't used an electric shaver in years.
I liked the cleaning/charging station that comes with this shaver, but it's HUGE. It comes with one package of cleaning solution and it's simple to use. NOTE: like virtually every single Phillips consumer electronic device, the instruction book lacks good instructions on how to use it. But it's easy enough, you push the top of the base down and it raises up, giving you clearance to put your shaver in upside down and with the head alignment, there's only one way to do it, and then you push it back down and the top of the base attaches with a satisfying click. After you shave, you can clean the head of the shaver and it works great! After you shave, there will be hairs in the shave head and after you clean it through the clean cycle, bam they're all cleaned up. That's a nice feature, but I'm hesitant to use it every single time I shave because I don't know how long the cleaning solution lasts or how much replacements costs (i.e. see my comment on terrible instructions above).
It also comes with a nice travel case, which I think is a huge benefit. It comes with a trimmer that snaps on to the shaver so you can trim your sideburns. It requires you to pull shaver off the head. You don't screw anything, just pull straight off. But I gotta be honest, I couldn't always get it to snap in and out. Not a big deal, but it's something to deal with that can be a minor annoyance.
The performance is pretty good...for an electric shaver. You cannot beat the smooth silkiness after shaving with a razor. But this is pretty good. There's going to be a little "roughness" (comparatively speaking) but I found myself getting my shave done quicker in the morning. The first time I was a bit slow, but after the first time, I figured out how to use the shaver on my face and get it and get out. For me personally, I liked the ability to shave quickly. I take this bad boy in the shower, because it's waterproof, and shave while I'm in the shower. It's not earth shattering by any stretch, but it does at least feel like I'm saving some time in my morning routine.
If you haven't jumped into an electric shaver before and are thinking about, I would caution about spending this much money to jump in as using one versus a traditional razor is a big change. But if you already use an electric shaver or absolutely know you want one, I think this is the best one out there. Just make sure you have plenty of counter space AND an additional outlet to account for the size of the base cleaning station.

Like most modern niche appliances that are cool and good at what they do but are ultimately rendered duplicative, the Philips chopper is hard to justify using.
Don't get me wrong, this chopper is good. Almost fun to use. And clean up is a breeze (keeping the food separated from the motor base was great design choice). But when I need it, I ask myself, do I want to go through the effort of getting it out of the cabinet, plugging it in, cleaning it up and putting it back? Or just continue using the knife in my hand? After using the first couple of times, I don't pull it out of the cabinet anymore as it's too much work.
It has a smart design that makes it easy to use. For instance, there's no buttons. You push on the top of the device and it works (the motor is on top). The basket is a nice feature because it seems to create uniform pieces. The blades chop up the onions and then when they get to be just the right size (i.e. small enough to fit through the whole in the basket) they fall into the bottom of the device. As I mentioned, it's easy to clean and take a part.
What's not easy to use/read, are the instructions. Phillips continues to lead the market (with all of its consumer electronics) in creating difficult to understand instruction manuals. The pictograms are difficult to interpret and the manual is difficult to navigate. For example, it says one blade is best for dicing onions...well which one?? I used the blade that doesn't require the pretty purple basket but couldn't get anything to chop, the large pieces of onion kept getting stuck to the side. Luckily, this device is pretty simple to use, so the terrible instructions manual get a pass. Even if you don't open the instructions manual, most people can spend 3 minutes figuring out how to use it (NOTE there's no power button!) as there are only 5 pieces including 2 blades.
If you know you want a chopper, then this is a great one to buy. If you are thinking you'll make your life easier, ask yourself whether or not you'll want this on your counter top and if the answer's no, then do you want to get it out every time you need it. At the end of the day, I find it more trouble than it's worth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Meet the unrivaled, everyday noise canceling headphone for people who want to keep it simple. Hesh ANC is engineered with just the right amount of added features to make your life a little easier without a lot of additional technology that you might not need.
Do these headphones have a mute button and how long is the battery life if using for office calls?
I don't think there's a dedicated "mute" button on the headphones, I didn't find one, so it will need to be controlled from your phone. I never measured battery life for calls, but I've used them for calls (they sound good) and listened to hours of music over the course of a couple of weeks (of and on, not every single day) before having to recharge them. I feel pretty confident you could go a full day of calls without the battery dying.

Unfortunately, there's no storage for the attachments which is a bummer. Obviously there's space in the container for one (where I keep the sharp chopping attachment) and I keep the shredding/slicing disc in a cardboard container that it came with for the packaging.

Smart Light Starter Kit with Google Assistant
Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Can I use this to turn off my lights while I am away from home? Also, do I get the starter kit and then multiple bulbs or do I need to get a box thing for each room? Thanks so much
Yes, you can turn off your lights from your phone (via Google Home app) when you are away from home. You don't need this starter kit per room unless you want multiple Google Home minis throughout your home (I have several) but obviously the number of smart bulbs (should you want them) will outweigh the number of Google Home minis you need. In other words, one Google Home mini could control all of the smart bulbs you have in your house. You would just need to be within earshot of that one mini when asking Google to turn lights on and off. For me, I keep one Google Home on each floor of my house

Does this ssd works on MacBook Pro
Yes, I installed it in my 2012 Macbook Pro. I would find a SATA cable, plug it in to your Macbook and clone your existing HDD, use a small Phllips Head screw driver to remove the bottom plate, unscrew the mounting bracket, insert the pegs from your old HDD to the new SSD using a torx screw (very small) and put the plate back on and that's it. Very simple and painless process

Logitech - Harmony Smart Control (Remote Control and Smart Hub) - Black
This Logitech Harmony 915-000194 smart control lets you use your compatible Apple® iPhone®, iPod® touch or iPad® or Android device to control up to 8 components for simple, multifunction use.
Does this remote work with Xbox one?
Yes, sort of, depending on what your asking. The remote itself doesn't control anything but commands to the Logitech Home. But yes, the Logitech Home does turn on my Xbox One S. I've controlled a Blu-Ray before but must admit I haven't tried to navigate the console menu.
