Using Chromecast to display phone's screen on TV (#108)
We have an encore episode for you this week - it was a really good one where we demonstrated how to use the $35 Chromecast device with your big screen TV and show anything from your phone's screen on the big screen. We do this all the time! It's so much easier to navigate Netflix from your phone (or laptop) on the couch and simply "cast" it to the TV.

#132. Google Photos for Picasa Users
For 10 years, we taught people how to use Picasa for managing photos on their computers. We loved that program! But Google retired it nearly 3 years ago. We still use it for some things we do with photos on our computers - but everything is moving to the cloud - and Google Photos is the way to go now. This episode explains what you need to do.
