Happy Father’s Day! I enjoyed a short trip with my daughter. We spent some time with my parents and my grandfather. He tried the Apple Vision Pro for the first time at the ripe age of 87.

Unpacking all the CES swag.
The best part of CES for me? It’s not the tech…it’s the people! (Although the tech is pretty awesome too!)
It was such a pleasure and an honor to meet, chat, and hang out with so many awesome people. That includes other content creators, fans of the channel, and the brands that develop the cool tech that we love.
There’s only enough space for a few photos here, but there are many more memories! Sending a thanks and a shout out to every person who said hi during CES 2024. What a great experience. Already looking forward to the next one!
Christmas might be over but me and are still festive af. 🎄 🎅🏻
Merry Christmas!
‘Tis the season! 🎄 🎅🏻

I’ve been curious about robot lawn mowers for the past couple of years and I finally decided to try one out! I always wondered how they would do in the “real world.” …in other words: my imperfect yard!

March 29 is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Today is the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.
More than 3 million servicemen and women left their families to serve bravely, including Pappy, who served a total of 31 years in the military.
Pappy (also known as Bill) is a Vietnam combat vet, recipient of 2 silver star awards, and the coolest grandpa ever! He even let me come me come to his house and hook him up with a smart home! (Full video over on YouTube!)
Vietnam Veterans Day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home 50 years ago.

She started using smart home tech on DAY ONE! And we share the same birthday… seems appropriate! 😃 Full video is on my YouTube channel showing the smart nursery I hooked her up with, before she was born. We used smart lighting, a smart diffuser and air purifier, cameras, smart blinds, sensors, plus an insane smart crib fully loaded with sensors, cameras and even support for AirPlay 2! I didn’t start my smart home journey until my own kids were a little older. So I finally did everything in this video I wished I would have done when mine were babies! #smarthometechnology #applefan #applehomekit #applehome #nursery #momlife #dadlife
