If you subscribe to the site and received a bunch of notifications from old posts today, that is because I’ve just updated 50+ stories where Google Indexer found issues with some of the videos, most of which are no longer available at their original source.

Peak Design Universal Adapter
I recently ordered and received the Peak Design Universal Adapter and finally got the chance to try it out today. I actually received it for free as I have ordered a case from them, the Everyday Case for Pixel. Due to various problems the cases are still on back order. No big deal but Peak…Read more

Google Wifi

Downtime
Due to the severe weather that’s supposed to move through this evening and into overnight I will be taking down the BBS and any other internal servers for the evening. Depending on when the storm moves through it may be tomorrow evening before I come back online (Have to leave for work around 6ish.) The…Read more
