Good morning, everyone and welcome to the post-Google world! Google announced a major reshuffling of thier corporate structure yesteray, and it was basically the only thing anyone has been talking about since. This is huge news, and I think it's great news for everyone who loves Google products.
Good morning, everyone! Big news this week is I'm moving in less than 2 weeks. My wife and I finally found a good place, and after years of commuting over an hour to get to work, my new commute will be less than 5 minutes. The only downside
We made it to Tuesday, everyone! Now I know that Monday can be hard and the weekend looks a long way off, but if you promise yourself right now that you won't let stupid stuff bother you, then you can almost assure yourself a pretty decent week. And
Good morning eveyone! It's a beautiful, steamy summer day here in the midwest. Supposedly my employer is okay with people wearing shorts, but I'm still not comfortable enough to be that casual at work. Maybe come August when it gets really hot. The news that hit
Good morning, everyone! We had some crazy storms here in Illinois last night, but we've survived and come out the other end in one piece. I may or may not have gone out to get tacos in the middle of the madness because, you know, tacos. I think
Good morning, everyone! Last week was an absolutely fantastic week! The Supreme Court did amazing things and I still find myself smiling just by thinking about it. The SCOTUS also held up key Obamacare provisions and a racist old-fashioned symbol was shamed out of most public places. I feel better
Good morning and happy Tuesday, everyone! Here’s your weekly dose of goodies. Just a housekeeping note, there will be no new episode of Bite SIze Tech today, seeing as I have to work all day. I’m going to try and squeeze in an episode before the week’s
The Piano Guys are a talented bunch of guys, but they’re not my style. I’ll give this one a pass though, as it’s a gorgeous rendition of John Williams’ beautiful Jurassic Park score. New Music * Grand Romantic by Nate Ruess (of Fun. and The Format) * No Place
Good morning, everyone! In the past 24 hours I have quit my job (where I’ve worked for 6 years), signed the paperwork for a new awesome job (yay!), and completely missed all the WWDC hoopla yesterday. It’s been a crazy 24 hours and I am so grateful that
Good morning, everyone! Check out this stellar video of Shelby Mitchusson performing Eminem’s Lose Yourself in ASL. I promise it will get your day off to a good start. New Music * How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful by Florence + The Machine * In Color by Janie XX * The High Country
Kind of a weird day over here at the BirchTree world headquarters, so we’re just doing some of my favorite links of the week here. But fear not, a solid new Bite Size Tech is coming this afternoon, and some other really cool stuff coming down the pipe. Stay
Good morning fellow goodie-lovers! It’s getting absolutely beautiful outside in Illinois and I plan on spending as little of today indoors as possible. But before I go, I have to share some of the best things from the internet this past week. Enjoy! GW Commencement 2015 Tim Cook from
Wow, isn’t sleeping in just wonderful? I typically wake up before 7am on my days off so I can get going on my “side hussles” (as Casey Liss would call them), but I decided to relax a little and get some much needed ZZZs. I woke up to the
Happy Tuesday, everyone! It must be time for some Goodies, and oh do we have some stuff this week. First off, this was a fantastic week for music. While Mumford and Sons will surely get the most attention, Best Coast has what might be their best album, Mikal Cronin continues
This week’s Goodies is going to be compeltely Apple Watch-free. Considering that the damn watch has been all I’ve wanted to talk about over the past week (and presumably for a few more weeks after this), I figured it was a good idea to break free for a
