Droid!

 

It’s been crazy over the past few months and I worked on quite a handful of reviews. In doing that, I’ve rotated through some notebooks, smartphones and other gadgets going from an iPhone 5, to a Note 2, back to an iPhone 5 and now I am rockin’ an HTC One 64GB Developer Edition! I’ve also gone through some notebooks and tablets too such as going from an iPad Mini to a Microsoft Surface Pro, an Asus Transformer, Razer Edge Gaming Tablet to a Retina iPad, and now I am back to the iPad Mini once again. And on the notebook side, I went from my MacBook Air 11″ to a Dell XPS 12 and now I’m loving the MacBook Pro 13″ with Retina Display! I like to play around with the latest and greatest and I probably have an addiction where I will never be satisfied with what I currently have. At this very moment, my trio of the MacBook Pro 13″ Retina, iPad Mini LTE, and my new HTC One will do for now. I still plan to keep the iPhone 5 because as my backup and “in-between” phones to use while I look for something better! Again, lots of tech and lots of food within these two months!

Nest Thermostat Review

A few months ago during the winter, I took a Caribbean Cruise and had a house sitter to feed the cat and check the mail. When I came back from the cruise, my house was hot like an oven and it turns out that the house sitter forgot to turn off the heater for the two weeks I was gone! When I got my electric bill, it was a whopping $200+ and I normally pay less than $90 for two months on my electricity!!!

I heard a lot of things about the Nest Thermostat, which is basically a smart thermostat which can control your central air-conditioning or heater from your smartphone. It seemed like a smart solution where I can control my AC from anywhere in the house, or anywhere in the WORLD if I wanted to. But at a staggering $249, is this really worth it?

I just picked up one of these up at the Apple Store yesterday and I must say so far, this is probably the best impulse buy I’ve ever made. Priced at a staggering $249, the Nest Learning Thermostat was worth every penny. I will post a review of the up shortly within the week, but let me give you a walk through of how easy it was in setting this up! It took me a total of 25 minutes from unboxing the unit, removing my old thermostat, and mounting it on my wall!  Continue reading→
