Bay Area Local Leaves For the Open Road

Film Director, Blogger, and Artist Michael Merto surprises me when he reveals he will be leaving the Bay Area and traveling the United States for the rest of the year and vlogging about it! Not by airplane… by car!

I have to admit, my wife and I are hooked. Michael’s vlogs range anywhere from 7 to 12 minutes which feels just about right. His humor is contagious and he captures the lifeblood of the places he visits. I feel like I’m right there with him in the car. One particular episode that I enjoyed is his visit through Fargo North Dakota in “Lost and Found and a Woodchipper”. The people, architecture, and culture… I  became totally immersed.

Check out his YouTube Channel for more videos. Can’t wait to see more!

Nicolas Cage is on fire! I thought he was a goner for sure after I saw the horribly edited trailer for "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" (which might be good  just that this trailer doesn't do the story justice) but then he came back with "Dog Eat Dog" and now this!...

Stop Notifications in iOS While Driving

This can be very annoying and dangerous. It's not the fact that you are using the Waze, Google Maps or the Here app to get from point A to point B. No different than using a Garmin GPS... the problem when using these GPS apps on an iPhone is that the little...
