OK kids it’s Tommy and I have been playing with Periscope with much success. So since I was given a new LG G4 from my friends at Verizon I decided to do a few Periscopes and have a Q&A about it. I’m pleased with the response and I can’t wait to do the next one!
Hey kids, for today’s TommyLog Tech, I want to give you some initial impressions of my new LG G4 that my good friends at Verizon provided.. Huge thanks go out to them!
The first thing I love about this phone is the camera. The G4 has a 16MP rear facing camera as well as a 8MP front facing camera. The camera software even has a fully manual mode where you can set the white balance, exposure even ISO. People who like to dink with settings will love that.
Next thing that I noticed is the speed. Geekbench rates this Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 808 processor, 1.8GHz 64-bit Hexa-Core CPU as one of the fastest Android phones on the market with single-core score of 1142 and multi-core of 3545. Launching and moving from app to app feels almost seamless. The screen takes a lot of horsepower to move that many pixels so it better be fast.
Next topic that stands out is the sound and Holy Cow– is the sound that comes out of this tiny handset just HUGE. I mean amazing. I have never heard sound like this come out of a smartphone like that. How LG manage to pack a Marshall Stack in a battery operated, pocket-sized handset like this I’ll never know!
Lastly there’s a feature called QRemote. The G4 has a built in IR blaster so I can control my TV, DVR as well as my Apple TV. The thing that caught my eye is when configuring the remote, the G4 got my TV and set top box on the first try. it literally took me seconds from launching the software to controlling my entire entertainment center with the G4. Love that!
The bonus thing that I couldn’t help but notice is the screen. WOW OH WOW– is this screen just drop dead gorgeous! Hello, 5.5 inches of AMOLED goodness! This 2560 x 1440 screen yields 538 PPI and the colors are bright and amazing.
So far the LG G4 is totally 100% Tommy Approved! Stay tuned for more videos as I dive even deeper into using this baby.
STAY TUNED for more G4 goodness– not only did they send me a handset to test and play with, they also gave me one to GIVE AWAY on my blog. HOW COOL IS THAT???!!
Stay tuned to my next TommyLog TECH as I set up and play with the LG G4 and we will see if it’s Tommy Approved!

Hey kids, for today’s TommyLog Tech, I would like to introduce you to the new, awesome, yummy tech goodness that is the LG G4. My good friends at Verizon provided this smartphone. Big thanks go out to them!
This thing is just gorgeous. Unlike most other smartphones, there are no buttons on any of the sidewalls; the volume and power buttons are on the back. The screen looks huge compared to my iPhone 6. Not sure if you can tell by the lighting in the video, but the back is gently curved. Very slick.
What’s even more amazing is, not only did they send me a handset to test and play with, they also gave me one to GIVE-A-WAY on my blog. HOW COOL IS THAT???!!
Stay tuned to my next TommyLog TECH as I set up and play with the LG G4 and we will see if it’s Tommy Approved!

Hey kids, it’ s Dad and for today’s TommyLog I want to talk about the Clifford family helping clean the meeting house. About once every 4-6 months, members of the LDS church get the opportunity to help clean the church. Since there is no paid cleaning staff, cleaning duties fall on the members. So for about an hour we swept and mopped floors, cleaned the bathrooms and emptied trash. Even Emma an Drew got in the action.
I really love this as it helps build respect for the building as we are one of the people who are responsible for its upkeep. Just think what wold happen if kids had to help clean their schools or rec centers? They would have a more respectful attitude if they knew that spills and messes- they would be in charge of cleaning.
Last Friday was a total rotten day at work. Do not pass go do not collect $200 rotten. I was home and it was about 7:30 in the evening and I wanted to go get Culver’s for dinner. As I’m driving to Culver’s sun roof open and XM radio turned up high—trying to forget my awful day, I saw a family stranded on the side of the road. They car had broken down. I immediately felt a prompting to do a u-turn and go and see who I could help.
After that, the worries of my Friday was washed away.
What a blessing it was not to ask for answers to a prayer, but to possibly BE AN ANSWER!
What will you do to be that answer?
