I'm a bit of a streaming junkie. Never met a Chromecast I didn't like. And the Roku interface is like that old friend that you can always reconnect with and pick up again like it was yesterday. These days, streaming Netflix is our main poison of choice, with an occassional dalliance with HBO Now.

Every once in a while, the Netflix app on our Roku stops working. It's a strange error in that when you type in your username and password, it still won't connect you. At first you believe it is your data entry mistake, so you try it over and over until you feel like this guy...

As it turns out, you are not doing anything wrong. It's a glitch!

I discovered the fix the first time this happened, but I sometime forget it by the next time it happens. So here, for my recollection and your free IT support, is the fix for this glitch.

EZPZ Roku Netflix fix

1. Delete the Netflix app from your Roku.

2. Reinstall the Netflix app.

3. Enter your username and password and voila, let the binging begin!

There were times last Winter when it felt like all I was doing was shoveling the driveway and I would have given my kingdom for a snowblower. This year, to guarantee that we have a mild Winter, I plan on buying a snowblower. I figure the more money I spend, the less snow we will get. And the less time I spend clearing the driveway, the more time I will have to rewatch Game of Thrones heading into Season 6 in the Spring. Still, some shoveling is probably inevitable, so here are my top 3 EZPZ tips for making it less grueling.

EZPZ tips for shoveling snow

1. Spray some Pam on your shovel to help heavy, wet snow slide off the scoop like delicately worded innuendo rolls off of Lord Vary's tongue.

2. If you don't have a giant knight like Ser Robert Strong to do you bidding, save your back and your Advil with a more ergonomic shovel.

3. While shoveling, prevent your phone from being rudely ripped from your pocket like Ned Stark was prematurely torn away from flabbergasted viewers by using wireless headphones.

Finally, some music to shovel to or just enjoy by the fire...

I love my smartphone just as much as the next person, but I guess there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. The amount of time we spend with our heads bent forward places a lot of stress on our neck, back and shoulders.
