You’re really gonna love this. I’ve been diving into the latest AI tools, and some of them are so jaw-dropping I couldn’t wait to get them in your hands. They don’t feel like tech. They feel like creative black magic. These aren’t dry “watch me demo an algorithm” kind of tools. These are “I just […]

Let’s put them head-to-head. 🙋♀️ Clicks love a human face When we compare ad performance, […]
You know the drill: You hit the airport, find a seat near your gate, and your first thought is, Where’s the free Wi-Fi? You see a network called “Free Airport Wi-Fi” or “Airport_Guest” and think, Perfect. The TSA says: Stop right there. Their latest warning is the digital equivalent of “Don’t take candy from strangers.” […]
Did Prince William and Prince Harry make up? Not even close. But thanks to Bing’s AI image generator, they practically skipped through a meadow hand in hand like it’s the finale of a very weird British rom-com reboot. No Daddy intervention, therapist or overpriced raspberry jam required. To get around Bing’s copyright controls, I didn’t […]

Want to globe-trot like a baller but on a budget? Enter home swapping: the Airbnb alternative that doesn’t cost a mortgage payment per night. It’s just what it sounds like.

A surprise meeting. A fever. The worst part? That pricey reservation is nonrefundable. Here’s the twist: You don’t have to kiss that […]
Your router has more to offer than just an on/off switch. One of the best ways to boost your Wi-Fi performance is to outsmart the interference swirling all around you. Let’s talk about bands. Not the type that “break up” and go on a reunion tour when they run out of money. I’m talking about […]
Confession time: I can’t draw. My brain doesn’t lean at all in the artsy direction. I’ve tried to teach myself Photoshop, but every attempt ends with me whisper-screaming “flatten layer” like it’s going to summon help from the Adobe gods. But now? I create stunning, professional-looking images in seconds. And I don’t lift a finger […]
“Hi, Kim, I’ve been taking care of my dad since his stroke. Your story about using ChatGPT to map out questions for our doctors has actually truly helped me feel a little more in control. It’s not perfect, but it’s been a lifeline.” — Maya in Ohio Thanks for your kind note, Maya. Being a […]
One of the best calls I’ve had recently on my show came from a listener named Stacy. He casually told me he’s made $80,000 renting the vacant land he covered with gravel behind his house. That’s it. A rectangle of rocks. No building. No tenants. No fancy business plan. Just a patch of dirt he […]

How it works Once […]

Confession time: I Zillow people. All the time. Someone casually mentions they just bought a house in Aspen? I’m on it. I’m already hunched over my keyboard like a Nancy Drew reboot. New neighbor moves in with a Mercedes-Benz and suspiciously good patio furniture? You better believe I’m typing that address into Zillow before their […]
That meeting that could have been an email? You’re on it, eyes glossing over rambling updates, Todd’s screen share failing for the fourth time (use a mouse, Todd) or what appears to be a seance: “If you can hear me now, make a sign.” AI can be your saving grace. I’m talking about short, sweet […]
That’s my childhood home above at 111 Washington Avenue, South Amboy, NJ. I was about 10 when I knocked out my front tooth on the swing set. There was also the day when I made the very bad decision to throw a snowball at a passing police car while the officer had his windows open. […]
Every time my energy bill arrives, I swear it looks more like a ransom note: “$412 or the AC gets it.” But guess what? Some good (actually smart) tech can help liberate you from this hostage situation, with real savings. Here’s your Kim-approved guide to the best smart home tech that pays for itself. And […]
July 4th is all about independence, fireworks and maybe reinventing how many hot dogs a stomach can physically hold. But financial freedom? Nothing says “I’m a prisoner of the bad side of capitalism” like paying for three streaming services just to rewatch The Office on a loop. Here’s how to break free from the subscriptions […]
You finally made it to your gate, overpriced coffee in hand, sprinting like your vacation depends on it, only to be greeted by those two soul-crushing words: Flight Delayed. Maybe it starts with 30 minutes … then an hour … then four. No apology, no update, just your suitcase sunbathing alone on the tarmac like […]
