Chromecast = AWESOME... w/ More to Come

I just got my Google Chromecast in the mail and I have to say that this thing is super cool! It plugs directly into the HDMI port of my TV and then powers itself through a USB cable also right off the back of the TV.  Right now the supporting apps are limited to Netflix, Movies, Music, and YouTube.  It is also possible to broadcast from your computer via Google Chrome extension found here.

It is simple to setup, easy to use, and I look forward to many more companies integrating it into their apps.  I have already heard rumor of HBO and Hulu working on it.  I will post more as I learn.  If you would like to get one for yourself, I believe the fastest way to get it for the $35 price tag is right here on Amazon.

It's Been a Long Time - The New Nexus 7

So it's been a while since the last time that I have posted. So long actually that last time I had just bought an Asus Google Nexus 7 and now I have just bought
the 2nd generation Asus Google Nexus 7. Let me briefly say that this thing is awesome! Android 4.3 is wicked fast, UI is silky smooth, wireless Qi charging is great, and I love the new screen. One other thing I have noticed is that the battery life has been exceptional so far. I'm a big fan thus far and will be sure to bring more along with many more posts.
