Mmmmmm….pie. They come in all flavors, shapes, and sizes…and are so good. But, could they run your home security system?  Well, maybe not the type of pie you are thinking of…but a Raspberry Pi certainly could! In this episode of Brothers in Tech, the Brothers discuss the beauty of the $35 ‘do it yourself’ computer, and ideas of…

Remember when you would actually call someone to ask a question or just to see how they were doing? Yeah, it has been a while.  If you are like most of us, the quick call has been replaced by sending a text, emoji, or reaction…and the options for sending those messages has grown significantly. In this…

If you are tech fans like us…and we know you are, you enjoy seeing cool (and sometimes crazy) ways that technology can solve a problem. And, what better place to let those fascinations run wild than the Sharper Image catalog. In this episode, the Brothers try out something new (and not because they just didn’t…

Well, we made you wait long enough…it is time to bring some more BiTs (Brothers in Tech Suggestions)! Since we didn’t have a guest to join us for this episode, we each stepped up and brought a couple of picks for you (along with a couple of updates on recently discussed services Trim and PayPal. Be sure to…

Well, if you listened to the last episode, you now know some strategies for managing your money…but what if you wanted to share that money with someone else?  Let’s say Brian wanted to send some money to Alan (yeah, this is obviously a hypothetical situation)…what is the best and most efficient way of doing that? In this episode, the Brothers discuss several services for person-to-person money transfers and the pros and cons of each. Plus, they stumble through an admittedly incomplete explanation of cryptocurrency to provide you just enough info to be dangerous.

Do you have so much money that you have a hard time keeping up with it all?  Yeah, neither do we…but, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t interested in creative ways of managing what little money we do have! In this episode of Brothers in Tech, the brothers discuss the technological advances in personal banking and budgeting. From online banking services to wealth management tools, to services that can help you find ways of saving money…we have you covered. Now…if we just had the money to take advantage of it.

Here it is!  The episode that you have all been asking for…the Brothers (without guests) just talk, without any preparation, with no particular topic or focus.  OK, so maybe you haven’t been asking for it, but we think you might actually like the result! In this “Odds & Ends” episode, Alan & Brian discuss the latest technology ventures…from home security cameras to video projector solutions, to swimming headphones…there are some good ideas here. Plus, we play a little “what apps are on your phone home screen?” game, and see what apps we deem essential, and which we might be embarrassed about. The biggest question is whether Alan has Snapchat on the 1st or 2nd page of his phone?  You will have to listen to find out…

Have a bunch of stuff that you aren’t using anymore and would like to get rid of? Well, you could have a yard/garage sale, post signs all over town, or pay for an ad in the classifieds…but that’s not very efficient, OR TECHIE! But, have no fear…the Brothers have you covered. Check out this week’s episode as Alan and Brian (yeah, just the two of them…they dropped the ball on getting a guest) discuss how to get rid of the junk in Alan’s basement through online means. From Craigslist to eBay, to Facebook Marketplace, we have you covered! And, amazingly…Alan actually had some good things to offer in this episode, so you won’t want to miss that.

You might be thinking…isn’t camping the place where I am trying to get away from technology? Well, you are probably right, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some great technological advances in the camping world that you should be aware of. In this week’s episode, we welcome back Rob Dickerson (VP of Retail Sales @ DeFeet, a cycling apparel company) as we continue our series of topics to help you make the most of your summer. From tents (yes Alan, these are still a thing)…to sleeping bags…to accessories, this episode covers the ‘must haves’ to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Once again, Alan had very little to contribute in terms of content…but he at least asked some good questions.

In this week’s episode of Brothers in Tech, the Brothers decide to take a short break from having guests to respond to some questions/comments we have received from our listeners over the past few weeks. We discuss To-Do apps, home automation/tech, and Windows 11…as well as discuss whether Chris in Michigan is a bit delusional, a friend of Alan’s, or both. Either way, we are crossing our fingers that they were not a wealthy prospective sponsor…in which case, we loved your question!
