Solis is Launching Yet Another New Global WiFi Hotspot Model
by Kyle Burbank
Back in 2019, I purchased my first Solis (then known as Skyroam Solis) international hotspot device. Since then, though, the company has rolled out a number of new models — and that pace has really hastened over the past couple of years.

by Kyle Burbank 21
Updated on February 3, 2026 When my wife and I moved to Springfield, Missouri more than a decade ago, one of the selling points (or at least what kept it in the running) was that there was a nearby airport that served a decent number of destinations.

Travel Tuesday: Comfrt Inflate Zip Hoodie Review - Better Than Airplane Mode?
by Kyle Burbank
Not long ago, Instagram convinced me to purchase a Comfrt Airplane Mode Travel Zip Hoodie. With hidden pockets and a built-in eye shade, it sounded like either a clever travel accessory or an incredibly gimmicky sweatshirt. As it turned out, it was a little bit of both — but I ultimately enjoyed using it. Then,...
End of an Era: Why I Canceled My American Express Platinum

In October 2019, I did something that seemed crazy at the time: I applied for a credit card that carried a $550 annual fee. The card was the American Express Platinum card and what attracted me to it were features such as the airport lounge access. At the time, my wife and I had been...

by Kyle Burbank
They say that all publicity is good publicity... but I'm not sure that's true. Take, for example, the recent news about the FinTech brokerage WeBull. As CNBC reports, the House Select Committee on China found that "Webull’s ownership architecture, technical workforce, technology infrastructure, cross-border data routing, corporate financing, and compliance frameworks are tied in structural...

by Kyle Burbank
A few weeks ago, I attended my fifth in-person FinCon — which was hosted in Palm Springs, California, this year.
