Brilliant Buys and Savvy Sales
Home Shopping Season If you’re on the fence about selling your house this year, maybe you should consider making up you mind by the end of the month. According to Zillow, May is the best time of the year to have your property on the market, as on average homes sell two weeks faster and […]
Brad’s 23rd Century Retirement Plan
One Day at a Time (for 279 Years) I’ve started looking into retirement options before it’s too late–or at least, that’s what I set out to do recently. Apparently if I want to maintain my standard of living after I punch the digital clock for the last time, I’ll be putting in full shifts on […]
New Year, Same Geek
…and we’re back! First things first: Happy New Year 2018 to all my readers! By now just about everyone is settling back into their everyday routines, which have hopefully been amended to reflect all those ambitious resolutions made just last week. A simple alteration that has made a tangible impact on my quality of life […]
Wonders of the Universe and IT for Insurance Agents
World’s Most Wondrous Waterfall If you’re wondering where I’ve been for the past few weeks, I’d love to tell you about my recent trip to Argentina
Secretly Saving the World
What Do I Think I’m Doing? In case you didn’t know, this newsletter is a labor of love…any extra exposure or new clients we pull in by rambling about the wonders of the modern world are just a bonus. Another thing we love doing that more directly keeps the lights on around there is developing […]
Super Internet Safe Mode
It’s Not Stalking, It’s Market Research! If you’ve ever wondered how those ads on websites get so suspiciously specific, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that it’s based on tracking your web history. It’s somewhere in the chasm between creepy and convenient, and if it falls closer to the former for you, Incognito Mode […]
ATTN: Both Brad’s Blog Superfans
Blank Space Is there anything more annoying than running out of storage space on your phone? Of course there is, but I’m doing A Thing here, come on. That seemingly uninhibited ability to draw any digital resources from any source of your choosing—automatic data backup, streaming music, videos, email, scheduling, games and a map of […]
I’m Watching You, UPS
Salute the Season Can you feel summer coming? That’s right, Memorial Day is traditionally thought of as the season’s unofficial kickoff, and for good reason most of our minds go to BBQ’s and good times with family and friends on one of the few days of leisure guaranteed virtually the entire American workforce. Still, this […]

YouTube TV Throws Down the Gauntlet
Better Meditation through Technology Okay, if you’ve been with us for a while you know that I’m a big proponent of meditation. I’m not looking to manifest myself on the astral plane or anything—at least during the week—but it’s pretty hard to argue with the obvious benefits of taking a few minutes on a daily […]
Gadget Giveaway and Upgrading the Oscars
To Err is Human I’m sure by now even those who weren’t participating in any drinking games or office pools involved with this year’s Oscars have heard of the awkward snafu that ensued when the wrong winner was announced for the biggest prize of the night. Jokes about “La-La Land” winning the popular vote and […]
Blackberry Smartphones: In Loving Memory
Even More Amazon If you’re looking for yet another way that Amazon Prime account besides free two day shipping on a countably infinite range of products and a free six-month subscription to the totally-not-failing Washington Post (no, seriously!), Amazon Prime Music is pretty easy to fall in love with. The music streaming service is free to use […]
Remember When Flying Was Fun?
Head In the Clouds You know, flying commercial is often an experience in and of itself, but I’ve always secretly fantasized about owning a private jet. It just seems like the most convenient way to go about one’s travels…think about it. No cramped seats. No spending an entire flight with my carry-on under my feet […]
This Email May Be Habit-Forming
Thanks, Tommy Just in case there are any Atlanta Falcons supporters in my readership, don’t take this personally…I even waited a day to say this out of respect. Still, I have to say, seeing the Patriots rally from a 25 point deficit to win their 5th Super Bowl was one of the most exciting things […]
Greetings from the Republic of California!
Bearing Down After coming out red-hot to start the season, my Bruins have been on a bit of a slide lately.
Underwear And Politics
Serenity Now You know, I try to avoid discussions on the subject, but it seems every possible human interaction leads to an open forum on politics these days. I can’t get through so much as a supermarket checkout line without the clerk relaying the latest memes from Twitter, and I get it…I do. It is […]
