Not all the Black Friday deals have been announced yet, but I managed to find 11 storage deals that are undoubtedly worth consideration.For my favorite external storage deals, it’s a three-way split between the excellent 4TB Crucial X10 External SSD, SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 4TB SSD or going with the WD P10 5TB external HDD, which still has the edge for cost per GB, but transfer speeds are going to seem slow compared with external SSDs.For internal SSDs, Western Digital has a great range…

Growing up, a sure sign that the holidays were approaching was the neon glow of Port Wine Cheese Spread neatly tucked away in the family fridge. My mom only bought this bright orange-and-pink cheese spread on special occasions, and I recall some sort of rationing system involved to keep the four of us kids from devouring the whole tub before guests arrived. While I haven’t had this product in years, I recently discovered a new product at Trader Joe’s that instantly reminded me of my favorite childhood holiday appetizer. Trader Joe’s Totally Cheeseball Cheese Spread The Appetizer I’m Buying From…

I’ve seen that evolution firsthand, from helping build the first AdWords Editor to developing early Google Ads scripts and writing about automation layering. Now we’re entering another major transition.  As AI changes how we search and get answers, it’s also transforming how automation itself gets built.  And this time, the momentum isn’t coming from ad platforms like Google – it’s coming from AI companies like OpenAI. Until recently, AI mostly helped with human language tasks like writing ad copy, summaries, or reports.  But the latest generation of LLMs can…
