Each week, I’ll highlight an app, game, device, tool, or something tech you can use for coping while being quarantined from COVID-19.
I draw and sketch a lot, even though I have no business drawing and sketching. Even though I work in tech, I spend a lot of time jotting down my thoughts and ideas on paper.

If it’s Thursday and 6:43am, it’s time for tech talk on First News 570 with Mark Starling. People are staying home, corona memes are slowing down, and the economy is slowing; yet, we remain. Join us every Thursday, and listen live for the latest tech stories and tips.
Here’s something to think about this week. I’ve been having to homeschool my kids for two weeks now. Imagine what teachers who have kids are going through right now. THEY HAVE TO HOMESCHOOL THEIR KIDS, WHILE TRYING TO REMOTELY SCHOOL OUR KIDS. Crazy.
If you have kids and don’t homeschool I know it’s starting to feel real. With many schools closed for the next two weeks, some closing for the month, and a few closing indefinitely, you may be wondering how you’re going to cope with being shut in during the quarantine.
Mark Starling asked me to compile a few online spots you and your rugrats can enjoy, and not drive each other crazy. (Each Thursday at 6:43am, listen to me talk trash about tech on First News 570 or stream using the iHeart Radio app)

I promise I’m going to get better at this. It’s been three weeks in a row, and a third blog post. If it’s Thursday, it’s tech time with Mark Starling, so grab your cup o’ Uncle Joe, fold up the newspaper, and let’s talk about what’s happening in the tech world. This week features Microsoft and El Goog doing their thing, and the Catholic Church releases a tech device.
You can listen live to our segment on Thursday mornings at 6:43 Eastern by tuning into First News 570, by downloading the iHeartRadio app, or listening online.
Black Twitter never disappoints, and #datRONA has been added to my lexicon. 🙂

If it’s Thursday, it’s time for tech talk with Mark Starling on First News 570. Yours truly will be doing double duty this coming week, out of town. I’m heading to the Podfest conference this week, and out of town at the HIMSS conference for a full week. I’m actually hoping to see Donald Trump deliver a keynote!
