Here’s my +Attrell Update for the week. I talk about things you have around the house that you’re probably using more of than you need to, for all kinds of interesting reasons. If you want to keep up with these videos, click on the “i” in the top right of the video and subscribe! On Monday,…

Push vs. Pull
For those of you who don’t know, I have been sharing videos back and forth with my sister on YouTube since the end of March of this year. Our YouTube channel is called +Attrell Update, and I bring it up for two reasons, maybe even three (we’ll see how far I get). Point 1: Push vs.…
Ass-U-Me Nothing!
Guys, I get that it’s a normal human trait to make assumptions about things and people when they are unfamiliar and you basically make a snap judgment without even realizing it might not be true. However, this trait starts to become dangerous if you start to use that assumption to make decisions without first checking…
Poll: Should I Change the way I Facebook?
I have decided to give my Facebook future over to the people who mean the most to me (aka the people who read these things). Right now, and for the last 2 years or so, I have chosen to keep my “friends” list down to an absolute minimum. I made a very conscious choice to…
The World’s Most Honest Cover Letter
I really despise writing cover letters in 2014. For online applications, they are worse than useless.

That being said, I thought it would be interesting for me (and hopefully for you) to look back at where I came from, and how it…
Relationships are complicated, or are they?
First, I read this article (In case you’re looking for context). I’ll try to sum up the story in a paragraph if you don’t have time, but it’s a really great read. Guy asks wife if he can research cheating by signing up for cheating site, wife agrees. Guy goes on nice random dates and gets…
Net Neutrality
Source So, let me get this straight…network carriers in the US, like AT&T and Comcast, are NOT allowed to slow down network traffic in exchange for higher rates, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with SPEEDING UP specific connections for a fee? How in the world could anybody not see that as the same thing?…
Rob’s Favorite Things (2014 Edition)
I have thought about this for years now, trying to decide how I should best go on record and give the best way for people to engage with me on the Internet. This is the least terrible option I can think of: **PS. Order matters in these lists After trying all of these, putting apps…
