I spend hours and hours (and hours) online every week looking for the latest in tech for my national radio show, podcasts and, of course, newsletter.
I rounded up eight browser keyboard shortcuts I use so you can spend less time clicking around for the right button, too.
I get my steps in, never eat processed food, sleep like a baby and splurge on an occasional yummy lemon drop martini (my favorite mix!).
I also keep track of my numbers to flag potential problems early. And a friendly reminder: An at-home device never replaces a healthcare professional, so email, call or visit your doc if you’re worried about something.

The best players are on the bench: MIT researchers created “smart gloves” that help you play the piano. Using haptic technology, they recorded an actual pianist’s hand movements and then passed those to a student through a glove’s fingertip vibrations. There’s still hope I might be able to play piano one day.
Have toxic air inside the cabin. Blame flame retardants in the seat foam. Heat increases the cancer-causing chems. OK, let’s all park in the shade, cool our cars down before we get in and skip the “recirculate air” feature.
Is LinkedIn the new love connection? Relationship counselors say it gives you a more authentic look into someone’s life, work and social contacts. The real trick is figuring out when to take things offline. But heck, at least you know they have a job.
I’m no lawyer, but …: Docs in a lawsuit against OpenAI show the company destroyed two massive datasets used to train its GPT-3 AI model. The Authors Guild (paywall link) says they likely contained thousands of copyrighted books. Oh, and the “researchers” responsible for creating the datasets no longer work there. How convenient.
If your business accepted Visa and Mastercard between Jan. 1, 2004, and Jan. 25, 2019, you might be eligible for part of a $5.5 billion settlement. It stems from excessive transaction fees, and businesses that have since closed or gone bankrupt can still qualify. File your claim here before May 31. I did.
Apple announced a larger 13-inch iPad Air with an M2 chip, its first iPad Pro with an OLED display and a 10th-generation iPad that starts at $349. Plus, they teased the AI-compatible M4 chip, a new Pencil Pro with haptic feedback, and an upgraded Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad and a row of function keys. You can pick them up beginning next week.
Premium subscribers are getting an AI-powered “Jump Ahead” feature to skip to the best parts of videos. Enable the feature, double-tap to skip as usual and hit the new button that appears. It’s available on Android devices only (for now). You’ll know about it first because you get my free newsletter!
Audible now has over 40,000 AI-voiced audiobooks. Good way for self-published authors to save on costs and add a voiceover to their books. Humans are watching their gigs disappear, and I’m really not a fan of that AI monotone.
