How to avoid Home Theater purchasing fail »

As TechDadCentral, I hate to admit that I rarely change my set-up to match what I’m watching and listening to. I know that the sights and sounds of a Super Bowl broadcast share nothing in common with a foreign film, yet it’s way too much work to customize the video and audio settings to match the show.

Joining the Skype revolution- and roaming with Freetalk »

When Stacey Smith joined our Mom Central team last year, she insisted on talking with our team via Skype from her NYC office, and marveled that we did not have Skype turned on all day long. We dutifully logged in and kept logged on, and as she showed us the ease of zipping documents over Skype, sharing key links in the messaging box, doing video calls (where I got to virtually meet her daughter Chloe as well as see the huge icicles hanging off their home- in addition to face to face conversations about pressing business issues), conferencing in others, zipping on to talk with our Toronto-based Canada team- I in turn marveled how we had lived without Skype!

However, I think the couple of Disney/Caribbean vacations I had with my family when I was in middle school may have clouded my expectations just a little bit.
