Happy New Year from Digital Zen
Digital Zen has been quiet, but I’m still here. Check out how I used technology these past few months to close out the year, celebrate the holidays, and ring in 2016. Happy New Year!
Home & Kids
- Signed up for FedEx Delivery Manager to keep a closer eye on holiday packages
- Finally configured my smart TV to stream free Pandora radio
- Pinned the kids’ gifts to Pinterest as I bought them, and shared the Santa 2015 board with family to avoid duplicates
- Printed Santa & Co cone dolls from Mr. Printables for my six-year-old
- Used local Facebook moms‘ group to crowdsource a pediatric dentist and HVAC quotes
Money & Online
- FREE magazines: cashed in on a year of points earned at Recyclebank.com
- FREE money for college: shopping online with my UPromise credit card, earned over $500
- YES! it’s making a comeback: signed up online for home delivery of milk and eggs
Tech Support
- Installed free Avast antivirus software
- WHOOPS! installed El Capitan OS X and had to roll back to Yosemite 😐
