Keep on top of things with Apple Reminders. Plus, portable ice makers...


Apple Reminders





Apple has an app installed on the iPhone by default called Reminders. It does what you'd expect in that it reminds you when you have something you need to get done. It's basically just a to-do list, but when you get into the habit of using it on a daily basis for anything you mean to do, whether it's the day of or sometime in the next year, it can seriously increase your productivity. Check out these sites as an introduction:

Improve the sound of your TV

If you've been relying on the terrible built-in speakers in your TV, and you're intimidated by the hassle of installing a full surround-sound system, then buy a simple sound bar. I promise you, you will be glad you did. They're affordable, extremely easy to set up, and you will notice an immediate improvement in the sound quality and volume or your movies and TV shows.

Ice!








Do you like ice? Do you really like ice? Do you like ice so much that you wish you had the power to make as much as you need wherever you are?

Apple Keychain


I have 117 different passwords for all the accounts and websites I have to log in to on a regular basis. Without a password manager, I think I might just give up on using the internet. Thankfully, Apple has a convenient password manager built into their operating system, called Keychain, that lets me securely store all of my login information on my phone. It's stored in iCloud too, so I never have to remember or type in my password on my iPhone or MacBook. I stay skeptical of tech companies when it comes to handing them any of my data, but I think Apple is fairly respectable when it comes to user privacy and can be trusted with storing my passwords, photos, etc... I don't feel like I'm sacrificing security for convenience when using any of their products, including Keychain. Go here to learn how to set it up on your Apple devices -
