Wow: Bose Sent Me A Soundlink Micro!

My relationship with Bose began way back in 2008. I had just left for college and when I returned home for winter break I discovered a pair of unopened Bose headphones in my dad’s office. He had been given a set as a corporate gift that year and didn’t know what to do with them.…
Returning My Bose SoundSport Free Headphones

I’ve been using Bose headphones for the better part of a decade now. Since my first pair of Bose QC2s I’ve owned the QC15, QC20, QC25, and now QC35 headphones. I’ve also had two sets of Bose SoundSport wired headphones. Overall I just love Bose. While their products are a bit on the pricy side…
Travel Tech: Mobile Passport – My Favorite Travel App

Recently people have begun asking me an odd question. They want to know what travel related mobile app is my favorite? I say this is an odd question because I don’t use many travel apps. Well, I don’t use many travel apps other than those of airlines and hotels. See, for as much as the…
Travel Tech: A Few Weeks With The Bose Soundsport Free Headphones

I’ve had the Bose Soundsport Free headphones for just under a month now and I’ve logged a ton of hours with them. I haven’t used them while working out as much as I should have, but I did get a ton of use from them during my recent around the world mileage run. I have…
Travel Tech: Bose Soundsport Free First Impressions

I’ve been in the market for a new pair of headphones for a while now. I’ve specifically looking for a good pair of wireless headphones ever since Apple dropped the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. The obvious choice is of course the Apple Airpods. While Airpods seem like the best option, I have a…
Travel Tech: Preview Flights On Apple iOS

I recently stumbled upon a really cool feature from Apples’ iOS on the iPhone that makes tracking your flights and the flights of others extremely easy. Evidently Apple released this feature back in late 2015. However, I just realized it existed this past weekend when texting flight numbers to my mother. The feature allows iOS or…
What Is Mobile Passport and How To Apply?

As I was walking through Chicago’s O’hare International Airport the other day I noticed an ad for Mobile Passport. I had seen some advertising for the Mobile Passport app in the past, but had never investigated further. I only travel internationally once or twice a year and have always had fairly painless encounters with the…
Travel Tech: Bose QC35 Headphones Review

I have a confession to make, I caved and bought the Bose QC35 Headphones. I resisted buying a new set of headphones because I was so happy with the QC15 and QC20 models I already owned. With the latest Quiet Comfort (QC) generation I just couldn’t resist. After a few months with headphones I am…
Travel Tech: JetBlue Free Wifi (FlyFi)

Recently JetBlue further shook up the domestic airline industry by announcing from yesterday forward the airline is offering free, gate to gate, high speed wifi on every one of its 925 daily flights. Now JetBlue Free Wifi or Fly-Fi is offered to all passengers regardless cabin or fare paid. It is a welcomed improvement of a world…
Travel Tech: iPad Pro 9.7

Several months ago when I switched jobs I was handed on of the worst laptops in existence (dramatic) to be used as a traveling work computer. The laptop was perfect terrible for work and even better worse for personal use, but that all changed when the latest software “enhancement” effectively blocked any remotely interesting website from…
