Here's how you can protect yourself against it.

My sister's birthday is December 19, which is a bummer for me because the gifts I send are in the mix with the holiday packages and take longer than usual to get to her.  More than 16 billion cards, letters, flats and packages are expected to be delivered for the 2016 holiday season. But, they are keeping up on it and even offering delivery notifications and a sweet new way to SEE that your packag

A week ago today, I woke up and immediately was launched into blind confusion about what this new Pokemon Go thing was all about.  A game where it gets kids out into the real world? What?  Gotta catch them all?  What?  So to better understand what our 8 year old was so obsessed about, I downloaded the game.   And I immediately started playing.

My daughter who is now 22 was into Pokemon years ago.  I'm still holding on to the Pokemon coin that she had hoped would be a collectors item someday.  Who knew that Pokemon would resurface and take the world by storm?  While I encourage you to enjoy the frenzy while it lasts, there are a few things you need to think about where safety is concerned.

Well, here's an interesting topic.  I know that even when Mother Nature calls, some people refuse to poop at work for various reasons.  This new app may make those people think twice about it because, why pinch a loaf at home for nothing when you can get paid to do it at work?

If you're anything like me, you've found yourself on a flight or two looking out of a plane window at the vast scenic expanse below, wondering where you are or what you're looking at.

The future lately is being taken over by robots and computers. It all looks like it's supposed to make life easier for humans, but right now it's putting humans out of jobs. This store in Sweden doesn't have any employees. You use an app to unlock the door, scan your items and pay with the same app. This makes self check out lines at the grocery store seem silly.

Sometimes all it takes to solve a crime is some help from the community and the Duluth Police Department has introduced a new app that will make it easier for everyone to help.

I am sure I'm going to embarrass my daughter, but I admit I have NEVER played Candy Crush before. Are you addicted?  If you played in the month of December, you were part of the 98 million active players a day.  Their parent company King is planning on going public.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson had an incredible season last year, earning himself NFL MVP honors, leading his team to the playoffs and earning respect from professional athletes worldwide for his amazing return after an ACL injury, but how did he do it? Well now, there's an app for that!
