Opening the new #Sony WF 1000X noise canceling true wireless headphones

I'm always looking for ways to help raise Autism Awareness in creative ways. I used to raise awareness by building Android ROM's for Samsung's flagship phones and did that for a couple years. I had entire communities of nerds (myself included) on one of the most popular phone sites in the world, sharing what they learned about Autism with their families and friends. It was truly amazing. I ran out of time for developing and so that is no longer something I'm pursuing. I've begun a new venture to leverage one of the most popular types of videos on YouTube, unboxing videos, to raise awareness for worthwhile causes. I'm calling it OpeningStuff and I've already partnered with some amazing companies. I've already been sponsored by Bose, Jabra, Sphero, Tile, Nokia…

#Unboxing the @Nokia BMP+ (Compact Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor)

I'm really excited to share this unboxing video today because I've been really anxious to try this device out. This product is put out by Nokia. I know we usually think of Nokia in regards to phones but they have some really amazing heath and wellness technology. I'm using Nokia technology to help me monitor my health and lose weight. Check out the unboxing video below and let me know what you think or if you have any questions. ☺ https://youtu.be/mbDnJFvPeg4 You can check out the gallery of stills from the unboxing. Stay tuned for a full review. [foogallery id="65558"]

Unboxing the @VivintHome Glance

I want to give you guys a first look at the new Vivint Glance. It's the new panel from Vivint Home. This will be setup as a secondary panel, but it won't be mounted. The idea is to have a panel that can be moved if need be. The internal battery lasts about four hours. I will be having this installed soon. It's so new that the local install techs didn't have stock yet, so Vivint drop shipped it to me direct. I'll do a full review once it's installed. For now, here's an unboxing video for the Glance. ☺ https://youtu.be/0C4cMGIor5Y

Unboxing of the Samsung Gear 360 Camera (2017)

As a means of helping to generate more traffic, which equates to more people learning about Autism, I've decided to do unboxing videos for the larger ticket goodies I get as PR samples.  This particular one is the Gear 360 Camera by Samsung. I have a bunch of stuff coming from Nokia Health later in the week and I'll be doing the same for all those devices. ☺  https://youtu.be/ol4FewvXVIY

Using the @VivintHome app to automatically make sure your doors are locked

While this will apply to anyone using a Vivint Smart Home, this is aimed at Auto families. As Autism parents, we very often have to go to great lengths to ensure the safety of our kids on the Spectrum. If you are one of the many families using the Vivint Smart Home system, provided to special needs families through The Vivint Gives Back Foundation, this video is for you. In this short, Family friendly video, I will show you how to setup a custom action that checks to make sure your exterior doors are locked at any given time. This is very useful if someone forgets to lock the door. The system will check the doors at the time specified, and lock any that are unlocked. Requirements for this to…

The heartbreaking reality of sensory processing disorder (video) 

I've been talking about sensory issues in regards to my kids for years. The story always seems to revolve around shoes, socks, and school, especially in Emmett's case. Almost every single morning, we spend upwards of an hour or more, trying to help Emmett tolerate his shoes and socks. There are times that we succeed in overcoming these obstacles and there are days in which we don't even come close. The examples I've given have mostly revolved around Emmett missing school because he can't tolerate his shoes and socks. No matter how many times I've tried to explain that Emmett's not trying to get out of going to school, there's always that doubt in people's mind because it seems like getting to stay home is his ultimate goal. As I've…
