TommyLog TECH – Just Like Being there with Verizon 4G LTE & FaceTime #VZWBuzz #AD

Good morning kids, for today’s TommyLog TECH I want to talk about how technology helped bridge the gap and bring my son and me together.

This weekend it was hard for me to be at Tommy’s cross country meet as I was going out of down to attend the wedding of a friend in Door County, WI. Thanks to the thoughtful gesture by my good tech buddy Cole Reinke it was almost as good as bring there. Cole used Facetime along with his Verizon 4G LTE enabled iPhone to bring me right to the race. I could hear the wind, the crowds yelling and I was even able to cheer on Tommy as he ran by. All live and in real-time! It is just amazing how something so small, can make such a huge difference.

Technology can be more than this OS vs. that OS, megapixels or MHz. Today it was personal. Thanks Cole and THANK YOU Verizon!

Short and sweet, Verizon 4G LTE is totally 100% Tommy Approved!

TommyLog – Why Bad Things Happen?

Yesterday was September 11th with all the commemoration that goes into the 13th anniversary of that tragic event. Emma, who is 7 and wasn’t even thought about back in 2001, had an experience in school that really touched her…to the point of tears. Yesterday at school they watched a video about PS 234 and the impact 9/11 had on that school. She was just so moved by the video. This morning she asked “Dad, why do bad things happen?”

TommyLog – Chance Meeting – Changes Perspectives

Holy Cow, can’t believe it that school is in full swing and fall is right around he corner. How sad that summer is almost all gone. This weekend my sweetie and I had a date night at Texas Roadhouse to see Madeline at her new job. I ran into a long time friend and former co-worker. What happened next and the life lesson was truly remarkable.

Thank you J & G for that change in perspective!

TommyLog TECH – Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 #vzwbuzz #ad

Hello kids, for today’s TommyLog Tech I want to show you a small solution for one of biggest problems facing those who are bitten by the mobile tech lifestyle, the Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000.

The Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 is a super small, portable battery pack that recharges all your mobile tech gear. As the name suggests the Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 offers up to 4000 mAh of power. Well what’s the really mean to me? For you iPhones users, that means you can recharge your iPhone’s up to 3 times. Samsung galaxy Note 3 users can get more than a full charge and iPad mini, almost 75% recharge. That’s a lot of charging power packed into such a small size. This device is about the same physical size and weight as my iPhone 5S.

The Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 has a power button that and a set of 4 LED status lights that tells you how much charge is left in the battery. The power pack also has a industry standard micro USB as well as standard USB plug for all your charging needs. iPhone users just plug in your lightning cable to the USB port and away you go. The Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 can even charge 2 devices at the same time. That’s pretty awesome.

The Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 has built in computer circuitry to charge your device as fast as the device can take current, and is even smart enough to shut itself off when not in use. The computer brains allow the Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 to be plugged into the wall outlet at all times without over charging –so it’s ready to go when you are.

The Motorola Power Pack Slim 4000 is totally Tommy Approved and is part of my mobile lifestyle!
