A Home Dashboard Is Only Useful If It’s in the Right Room

A home dashboard can start as a fun tech project: a spare monitor, a few widgets, and live information pulled onto one screen. The trouble begins when the screen is expected to do everything. Game-server status, weather, grocery lists, family appointments, and smart-home controls may all be useful, but not necessarily to the same person or in the same room.

[Ad- gifted experience] I am known to go to a bunch of plays, but have never actually been to the Charing Cross Theatre. This is one of the smaller, London theatres, that packs a big punch in terms of stage presence despite being a smaller sized room. The seating is arranged well, the bar is well stocked, and it felt like a great place to view a stage. Myself and my friend Sophie went along to see Franz and Marie – an intense musical – at the Charing Cross Theatre.

[Ad- gifted experience] Hatter’s Farm is one of those pumpkin patches we go to every year. It feels like a full day out, with so many fun activities, most of which are included in the ticket price. This year, we headed there right on day one for the daytime pumpkin patch! Hatter’s Farm has grown more and more each year, and this year, things were a little different than the last.

Thinkfun Minecraft Cave Adventure - Logic Puzzles in Minecraft

Thinkfun Minecraft Cave Adventure – Logic Puzzles in Minecraft

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] We are quite a big video game household, partially, I feel, because Dann and I both work in games. Minecraft feels like a game literally everyone in the world has played anyway, and it’s a game that we’ve played as a family quite a few times. Kai use to have a Minecraft themed room, we’ve played Minecraft board games and even read Minecraft books. So, when we heard about the Thinkfun Minecraft Cave Adventure toy, we were very interested in seeing how Robin faired with it, as she’s a big toy lover.
