Tip of the Day: Drop Stop – Keep Your Car Interior Clean!

Back in the day we’d go to McDonald’s and get a bag of food. On the drive home, we’d dig into the bag and start eating those irresistible french fries. Inevitably, despite our best efforts, we’d drop a few and they get stuck between the car seats and the console. What a mess! Dvorak reports

Tip of the Day: LG OLED 4K HDTVs

John reports he received an elitist tip from a show producer. OLED 4K HDTV’s have the richest color and deepest blacks. John adds that the OLEDs he’s purchased from LG Electronics are outstanding!

Tip of the Day: Tevlaphee Wheel Lock Car Boot

This tip came from John’s wife, Mimi. She was worried about her riding lawn mower getting ripped off so she got the Tevlaphee Wheel Lock Car Boot to secure it. Get one at Amazon. John C. Dvorak: This tip was provided by Mimi. It’s the Tevlaphee and it’s like 90 bucks. Adam Curry: Is this for Mimi’s motorcycle? John

Tip of the Day: Smooth Edge Can Opener

JCD discovered these Smooth Edge can openers in France in the 1970s. They’re sometimes called Smooth Edge or similar names. These reach under the can lid and pull it off! Amazing! It takes a little more work, but unlike ordinary can openers, these have no rough edges, and you can put the lid back on

Tip of the Day: Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pen

Dvorak is enthusiastic about Paper Mate InkJoy Gel pens after a savvy bank teller turned him on to their silky smoothness while he was endorsing his paper bank cheques.

Tip of the Day: Blend Your Chia Seeds

Apparently people like to blend Chia seeds to their smoothies to thicken them up, but they can have difficulty have them blend into their beverage. John C. Dvorak suggests blending for a bit, then letting them soak for five minutes, then blend again. It’ll thicken your drink up into a nice goo! Shop for Chia

Tip of the Day: NFL Network’s ‘Football Live’ is Cheaper than NFL RedZone

This is a bit of a confusing tip as I can’t find any show called “NFL Football LIVE” listed on the NFL Network so we’ll have to take JCD’s work that this is available. Apparently, if you subscribe to YouTube TV, NFL Network is an included channel and this show (or feature) will give you

Tip of the Day: Masterbuilt® 30-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker

‘John says he’s cooked over many different types of flames but this gourmand is now recommending the Masterbuilt 30-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker. It burns a pellet but is more affordable than the fancy Tragers out there. It’s currently only $250 on Amazon. What a deal! Here’s a link to the pellet holder JCD

Tip of the Day: Thai Chiles from the Hmong Farmers

One of John C. Dvorak’s pastimes is visiting the Hmong Farmer’s market. There’s much better deals than the bougie farm-to-table type. I’d often visit the farmer’s market in Oakland’s Old Town. Many Hmong farmers were represented and I’d bag terrific bargains during the last hour the market was open. Most of the food is organically

Tip of the Day: Somewhere Street

This time JCD recommends a ‘killer’ travelog tv show on the NHK network (from Japan). You can get NHK on some over-the-air tv stations, or like I do, as a streaming channel on my Apple TV. John C. Dvorak: So, I just want to recommend a TV show. If you get over-the-air broadcasts—which everyone should

Tip of the Day: CAT S22 Flip Phone

Caterpillar, the company that makes heavy earth moving machinery, exploits their brand through other tough-looking rugged products in the brands back and yellow color scheme. We bought a CAT backup auto jumper battery/air compressor at Costco and it works pretty good. They also make boots and clothing with the CAT brand and look. Today’s Tip

Tip of the Day: Peruvian Avocado

These might be tricky to find in a lot of places. John Dvorak often shops at Monterey Foods in Berkeley, CA. This market along with Berkeley Bowl, will have a dozen varieties (or more!) of each commodity.
