It's been a year of making videos on YouTube as youtube.com/@TechFueledAdult…, let's see how I did. I created 35 videos, 23 shorts, I gained 80 subscribers, got 30 comments, 36,000 views and people watched me for 740 hours 🤯 I promise you I am not that interesting 😝

Side Note: I had no idea there was so much that went into creating content. Nothing but learning all year long. Mad respect for the people that work hard and earn a living making content on YouTube, it's not easy!

What I am most proud of is all the people that I have helped through my content. I have learned so much from videos on YouTube, it feels good to give back to the community that has helped me hone the skills I was taught as a child (thanks Mom & Dad ❤️)

So US banks won't let me log into their websites if I use a VPN, but my data is at risk in transit if I don't use a VPN... Does anyone see how this is a conflict?! We're really going to say HTTPS is good enough security?! Or are we saying I can only access my bank's website from my home internet and I have to allow the ISP to log my information and the bank to log my information? And they say they're protecting me?!

Turn one Gmail address into many, add a plus sign and a descriptor after it and Gmail will ignore the plus sign and anything after it. For example: youremail netflix@gmail.com or youremail junkmail@gmail.com You'll get the email and have the choice of how to handle it, but with this setup you can easily setup automatic filters to help keep your inbox clear or recurring emails like bills or automatically tag junk mail that gets through to your inbox.

Typing into the address/search bar on Chrome on your phone can be a bit difficult with these larger phones and having to do everything with your thumbs. You can move that address/search bar (called the Omnibox) to the bottom of the screen for easier access. Long-press the address bar > select "Move to bottom." and you'll have an easier time accessing the Omnibox with your thumbs.

Chrome lagging or have an unresponsive tab? Kill it like a pro with Chrome's built in task manager! Hit Shift Esc anywhere in Chrome. It pops a mini-task list, end the tab that's causing the issue and reclaim your browser.

Don't have time to read an article on the web you can use Google Chrome reading mode on your desktop computer or 'Listen to this page" on your phone using Google Chrome browser. The voice to text isn't great, if you'd like to really elevate your experience you can ask @Grok voice and ask it to read the article word for word from the top and you'll get a much better text to voice experience and you can dive into topics as the come up.

Had an unlikely but amazing start to the 2025 Fall race season. Hard work over the summer and some luck at this race had me 1st place in the 40-44 male age division in the 10k, 5k, and mile! 🤯

Using Gmail draft that email now while you have the message on your mind and have it automatically send on a later date. Use the drop down button attached to the Send button to 'Schedule send' your email. For those of us that want to check things off the list instead of add things to another days list this is a fantastic way to just get it done now.

41 years old before I found out Cinnamon Toast Crunch is at least as good dry as it is with milk! 🤯

Does anyone else just goof off with some posts on X? Not mean or anything, but sometimes when someone says something funny I like to comment on it and keep the joke going.

How do you manage your household tasks? I've been using google tasks through my google calendar and it's been working well for me over the years. But it's 2025 is there a better way?!

An example of an AI Prompt for work helps me refine my work output: I was tasked with [what you were tasked with] I work at a [non-specific industry type description] and I focus on [what you focus on]. When it comes to completing the task I was given these additional details to ensure I have a well rounded [output] that matches the desired outcomes. "[any details you have]" Help me refine the output of the task below with tips and direction to ensure I am completing the task, hitting the additional details and [anything extra you want to include]. "[Your version of the task output here]"
