Exciting home updating news – new TVs (and new devices) in interesting places
We had a $200 credit from Verizon / Samsung after upgrading our FiOS plan. It had sat around unused for many months because I didn’t know how to use it. We could use it towards a new TV, Chromebook, tablet, … Continue reading
Everyone gets a new phone! We purchased two new Galaxy S9+ phones this week
Let’s talk about irony. Irony laced with suspicion. Let’s also talk about the state of phones in the Ipe household. It’s been 2 years and 2 months since we purchased our dueling Galaxy S7 phones back in March 2016 during … Continue reading
Bought a Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Pad and it’s kinda handy
One of the key features of the Galaxy S7 is built-in Qi wireless charging. Using one of the $30 gift cards we recently earned through a recent Samsung Pay promotion, I went out to buy a Samsung Fast Charge Wireless … Continue reading
We like the new Galaxy S7 and Verizon ain’t too bad either
I mentioned earlier that I left AT&T, switched to Verizon, joined my wife’s existing plan, and we bought Samsung Galaxy S7 phones in matching Black Onyx. We got nice cases (mine is extra grippy), screen protectors, and I have the … Continue reading
Been using the Samsung Pay service (app?) and I think it’s pretty cool

I gave up on my broken Samsung Galaxy S4 and bought a new Galaxy S5
I’ve had the Galaxy S4 since April 2013, and it was a pretty good phone. It was my first Android phone after moving away from the iPhone 4. I’ve never been one for protective cases and covers for phones, because … Continue reading
Rebuilding the home PC
Good news on the hard drive replacement project — I got Windows 7 installed on the new SSD, and most of the applications installed. I was conscious this time around to make a checklist of every app that I needed … Continue reading
Upgrading my PC to a solid state drive
It’s been almost two years since we bought and put together the new home PC. In that time, we have heavily used the PC in all the ways you can imagine. We’re now running out of internal storage space– time … Continue reading
My first 60 days with Android and the Samsung Galaxy S4
I’ve had the Galaxy S4 for two months now, and I’m certainly enjoying it as my primary cellphone. It is also my first Android phone, and my first 4G LTE phone (on the AT&T network.) Here are thoughts so far … Continue reading
Bought a new wall and car charger for my phone
I think the title just about says it all, don’t you think? One of the benefits of my wife and I both using Samsung phones is that we can now share chargers. Of course, I’ve been “sharing” her stuff for … Continue reading
