I never thought I would see the day I'd find myself excited by lightbulbs. The LED lighting revolution has come of age.

More specifically, Amazon is cracking down on those who sell a fake review writing service on Fiverr. Years ago, I had an account on Fiverr. I was trying to use it to earn some
A couple of months ago I received an Amazon Echo. It's a unique device in many ways. Most interesting likely is the fact that it talks back to you -- declines your requests in some cases. A disembodied voice coming from a strange device is odd enough on its own, but it gets much more complicated than that, as we
