If you follow tech news you probably have seen the 60 Minutes interview with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.  He revealed that Amazon has been working on package delivery by drones and hope to have it operational in the next few years.  Link : Amazon The goal is to have items delivered within 30 minutes, but obviously there are a lot of obstacles (no pun intended) to get this going in the real world.  I’m a bit mixed on this technology, and I personally don’t see it taking of...

I love the Christmas holiday season.  I have quite a collection of Christmas music I listen to during December, but I have a hard time saying which one is my absolute favorite. I guess if I had to pick one it would be Frosty the Snowman.  I don't know now, I have too many I like. If you listen to holiday music, do you have a favorite?  

This has been a confusing deal going on with Netflix, and the media has used this as an excuse to use "Net Neutrality" whenever possible.  This is a great read on the details of this deal. http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2014/02/media-botching-coverage-netflix-comcast-deal-getting-basics-wrong.html " Naturally, many of these same people are also implying that because Netflix has to pay Comcast, consumers will foot the bill for this as Netflix will have to charge more for their servi...

Like the title says, what's your favorite food or dish that you just can never get enough of? Mine?  Well I'd probably say chili.  

Amazon has announced that the yearly price for Amazon Prime will increase from $79 to $99 starting this year.  Amazon Prime gives you free two-day shipping, no minimum order size, unlimited streaming of movies/TV, and more.  It has been $79 for many years now, and I’ve subscribed myself for quite a few. Now I don’t think $99 is a terrible price increase.  It’s most likely still a good value if you purchase a lot of stuff from Amazon.  For me though, with the addition o...

I have never really followed the Olympics.  I'm not a big sports person in general, so I guess maybe that's the base of it, but I really have no desire to watch or follow anything going on with the Olympics. Does anyone here watch the Olympics?  

I'm definitely not.  I do like to drink wine, but I am not that knowledgable in types and pairings and whatever else people tend to do with their wine.  The favorite type I like to drink is Sangria, but we also have some really great wine that comes from a Lakeridge Winery which is here local in Florida. Do you drink wine?  If so are you an expert, or just someone who likes to drink?

Yeah, it's not very wise to tweet terrorist threats to an airline on Twitter. The Dutch girl ended up being arrested for this .  

I read a list of more '80s movies being remade, and I just need to make it clear that this needs to stop.  So many of these are great movies that just need to be left alone, and not remade with some mediocre actors. https://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/yahoo-movies/80s-movie-remakes-214713917.html Couple of examples: Escape from New York Fletch The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

The picture below shows my latest attempt at growing a pineapple plant.  We’ll see what comes of it, but I do enjoy trying to get fruits and vegetables going, even if it’s in just a simple container.   I would really like to have a nice garden where I could plant several things, but where we live now really doesn’t give me a lot of opportunity to do that.  Does anyone here keep any type of garden, and what types of items do you have in it?

I admit I like watching videos on YouTube.  There's a lot of great information that is available, along with lots of entertainment available as well.  I would say the majority of my viewing is done on my iPad, and I have quite a few channels that I subscribe to so I'm always up to date on the latest videos from the people or company that uploads to it. Some of mine: Sensible Prepper - Good channel for practical prepping and general outdoor gear reviews. Sootch00 - ...

Lets have a bit of fun.  I always get a laugh off some of these animated gifs I come across all the time.  Post your best and funniest animated gifs for all to see! Since it's game console launch week, I'll start it off.  

I have a Keurig machine, and I use the refillable K-cups which I fill with whatever coffee I decide to buy at the grocery store.  It's much cheaper than the packaged K-cups, and in my opinion, tastes about the same. It seems Keurig is tired of 3rd party coffee brands using their system.
