Project Updates - Summer 2015

Even though there haven't been many AAAD updates, there have been all kinds of fun things happening in the AAAD household lately. 

Xfinity - Cheaper Internet than WOW! (But they can't provide service.)

We just got a visit from a really nice door-to-door Comcast sales guy. And he got me to try a 50 Mbps internet service at $39.99/mo. The catch? Comcast is literally incapable of installing internet service. AGAIN.

iCloud Family Sharing - Worth The Hassle

We all know that iCloud isn't perfect. In fact, it can be a confusing mess at times. For our family, iCloud Family Sharing has delivered on iCloud's promise.  Even though it was difficult to set up.
