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.

Our Firsthand Experience with Verizon Shine (So Far)
by Kyle Burbank
Back in June, Verizon launched a new program with the punny moniker "Verizon Shine." Somewhat similar to the popular T-Mobile Tuesdays, Verizon Shine features a variety of special offers from partner brands — except that these come in the form of daily drops instead of weekly. And while the telecom came out of the gate...

Travel Tuesday: Twelve South AirFly SE Review - Airplane Seatback Bluetooth Solution
by Kyle Burbank
A few months ago, I had a chance to fly on a plane that had only been in service for two months. One of the features of this spanking new craft that caught my attention was the Bluetooth support on the seatback in-flight entertainment system.

How My Hotel Minibar Actually Just Saved Me Money
by Kyle Burbank
This week, I've been in Palm Springs for FinCon 2026. Although I've found value in staying at the host hotel near the convention itself, with an American Express hotel credit to burn, I decided to go a different way and stay at the Kimpton Rowan instead (which was a good 15-minute walk from the event)....
