This year can't be summed up easily. Nightmarish might be the word we're looking for. The struggle is real, and not just for humans. Animals are also feeling the effects of 2020 and this video of a squirrel looking in utter shock is proof.

Deepfake hits the movies (classic ‘Titanic’ scene)
Deepfake videos can be hilarious or absolutely dangerous. This is an example of the former. Deepfake technology has come a long way and this video shows a classic scene in the movie "Titanic" — but with a twist that may make you feel just a little bit uncomfortable, to say the least.
Blogger and Instagram influencer gets real about the pressures of social media
The life of a travel blogger seems so glamorous. Tour the globe, eat delicious food, stay in beautiful places — and get paid to do it.

Sleep apps could be keeping you up at night
In years past, a sleepless night might mean watching the minutes tick away on your clock radio. These days, you’re more likely to stare at your smartwatch or a sleep tracker app on your phone when you can’t drift off.

A better, cheaper way to print
With so many of us working from home, I want to make sure you have the right printer that’s up for the task. The Epson EcoTank makes it easy.
This printer has super-sized, easy-to-fill ink tanks and comes with a RIDICULOUS amount of ink — enough to print thousands of pages. No more rushing to the store and waiting for your online order to arrive to replace an ink cartridge in between print jobs. The quality is excellent, too.
