Keep up the great work. Forever a fan,

Thanks for all the tech goodness!
1. Use it as a security camera. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam)
2. Use your tablet in the kitchen.
3. Use your phone to control home media with IR functionality.

HP Stream 11 alternative:
Hello Patrick,
In TekThing 6 you mentioned you were interested in the hp stream 11.
I was also fascinated by the wave of cheap windows 8.1 laptops that hit recently that are similar to all the great chromebooks that hit last year.
You might want to take a look at the acer e11 instead which has basically the same guts (cpu), form factor, etc but is MUCH more upgradeable: ram, and standard 2.5" hdd so you can put in an ssd if you want. It's the same price of $199 but make sure you get the one at target (not amazon) for the fully upgradable 2.5" drive bay. So I upgraded mine to 8gb of ram and a 240gb SSD and it's not a half bad little windows machine.
Here is my in depth review if you are at all interested: http://blog.arogan.com/2014/12/acer-aspire-e11-es1-111m-c7de_71.html
Anyways, glad to see both of you still on the air. I've been a loyal fan since the tech tv screen savers days

Hello Patrick and Shannon.  Long time fan, love the new show.  

My family will be moving to England for a few years and I need some help.  I have some electronics that will only run on 110 so I need a quality power converter.  Any suggestions?  Also, will running an electronics off of a converter continuously cause problems?  Is there a UPS that inputs at 220 but outputs at 110?  I was thinking of daisy chaining the electronics to a UPS to a converter.  Is this an overkill?

Thanks,

Drew S from Newport News, VA
