I love finding new instructor-led workouts on YouTube, from Pilates to cycling, but I’m also aware that you should strive to strengthen your mind just as much as your body. Typically, when I want to take a guided meditation, I use the Peloton app, since I am already paying $44 a month for it and […]

Chatbots, by their nature, are prediction machines. When you get a response from something like Claude AI, it might seem like the bot is engaging in natural conversation. However, at its core, all the bot is really doing is guessing what the next word in the sequence should really be. Despite this core functionality, AI […]

From the moment I first launched Windows Movie Maker, I’ve been on the hunt for a good, free video editor. Not a perfect one, mind you. Not one that could replace a professional workflow, just one that’s good enough. After giving up on “free” and learning Premiere Pro, I thought my dream would remain dead. […]

There are a lot of podcast apps out there, but the easiest one to use is the one that comes built into your phone. For Android users, that was Google Podcasts—that is, until last year, when Google killed off its flagship podcast app. Again, you have your choice among alternatives, but if you go with […]

Recently, I made the choice to buy a Kindle Paperwhite, but not register it to my Amazon account. Doing so is as simple as avoiding connecting to a wifi network during setup. The Kindle itself will still run just fine; it just won’t connect to the internet or link itself to your Amazon account. I […]

I’ve been recommending a lot of free workout instructors on YouTube lately, from Pilates to cycling, but that’s only part of the equation: Before (and maybe after) any of those classes, you need to stretch. Why not turn to YouTube for some guidance there, too? As long as you know what to avoid when you’re […]
