Remote Computer Access, Free With Chrome (by Marc)

My daughter is out of state right now and needed some help with a technical issue on her laptop. She is pretty fast at figuring out tech issues, although I wouldn’t say a full blown tech geek. So I figured I would take a look at the problem via remote connection. It was then I discovered you could easily use an add-on for Google Chrome to share one desktop with another.

Two things about Google Chrome Remote: 1) it was FREE and 2) it involved a long string temporary pass code(in other words very secure). We both added the chrome extension and a few minutes later she shared the passcode chrome assigned and I was able to log in (she also had to click, allow access) and see her laptop’s screen and control the mouse and keyboard. It’s a great solution in so many ways. If you want to walk someone through some software setup, maybe Pinterest remotely together,  watch a video being edited on a friends computer and give your input as it happens. Use your imagination, so many options here. Click the picture to go to the download page to get it free yourself. Google Chrome Remote

Check out the Solar Tent (by Clint)

This high tech tent has specially coated solar threads woven into conventional fabric. The sun is now your power for your camping experience.

Going to a festival, it gets dark and forgot where you pitched your tent?...with the Glo-Cation technology, you can send a signal from your wireless phone to your tent and all you have to do is look for the glowing beacon.

Wireless Hub: A small pouch with wireless capability will now power your accessories.

Ground Sheet Heat: Set the temperature that's comfortable for you and if the floor of the tent gets below that setting, it will kick on the fabric to heat things up.

The Sony Smart Watch (by Clint)

We all use our phones to keep up with friends and to utilize social media apps right?...Sometimes we drop our phones in the bottom of our bag, set it on the kitchen counter and we've already gone to bed or we don't want to make it too obvious that we're checking our twitter account during a meeting.

What if your watch would allow you to check email, twitter, play your music and dowload apps from Google Play?...You can with the Sony Smart Watch.

The price point is between $80.00-to $100.00 and that's pretty reasonable for this type of convenience.

The range is about 32 ft from wherever your android phone is located.
