https://www.kobia.net/2015/02/roadtrips-freeways-and-gigabit-internet

My 18 month old daughter was actually quite well behaved. A handy tip we got from friends on traveling with kids was to leave at 5am. She gave us more than 4 hours of sleep once we were on the road.

Simulated Reality – David Kobia

https://www.kobia.net/2014/12/simulated-reality

I’ve spent the holidays chasing after a 64gb Nexus 6. I failed. In the process, I found two phones more preferable to the top heavy, slippery monster: The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Motorola Maxx.
