Streaming Music

Ever since I got my first Canadian unlimited data plan, I started using music streaming more in the car. Tried a few different services till I landed in something I love. Dash Radio is an American service that you should have a look at. 

It's a service similar to that of Siriusxm. One difference is it's 100% online. Oh I can't forget that it's FREE. You get a bunch a artist/band curated live radio stations. Doesn't matter if your a fan of Snoop Dogg or Kylie Jenner, there is something for you. 

So your wondering what's the catch? How is it free? Car manufacturers and cable providers pay Dash to use it as a premium music service. It's usually included with your cable (US only) or car premium service if offered. 

I been streaming free country radio on their station Tailgate Radio. Love their Hip Hop and RNB station The City. Some stations are purely automated while others have live host. Most but not all run on a west coast schedule as many stations are in California. 

Do you need an account to listen? No you don't, but if you want to set presets you will need an account. Music quality is by far the best in the streaming industry. Is it better then Siriusxm? Yes and no as it depends what type of artist stations your looking for. Is it smiler to Siriusxm even though it's free? Yes it's hard to say which service is better. If you are on a budget but still want quality service, then Dash Radio is the way to go. 

Dash Radio is available for both iOS and Android. It's available in both Canada and the US.

Wundle Mobile

This isn't a post I would be doing often. It's technically not a tech review, but it still fits on the blog. I recently switched to Wundle Mobile a Canadian telecom company owned by Luke Mackay. Wundle isn't your typical mobile carrier.  I will explain why I'm posting about this. It will give you a good understanding as to why I recommend this for people who live on and off the reservation. This is in no way affiliated with Wundle Mobile what so ever. This is my own personal review.  The main reason I recommend this as service for people living on the reservation. For those of you stick getting crap yes crap, home internet service this is perfect for you. As long as you get decent service from Bell, Rogers and Telus your good to go. So why would I mention the big 3 when this is an independent carrier? It's simple and there is only one reason. Wundle is a reseller of big 3 service. What that means is you get service from the national carriers. Depending w...

Heads Up!

If you have ordered from AliExpress or any other chinese website, don't panic if it's taking long to get to you. Chinese companies have a long history of taking long to get orders to people no matter where in the world.  I ordered my Doogee X95 at the end of May. It went from China to Singapore and left Singapore July 21st for it's final destination of Canada. Not sure if it came right here or stoped in between. Fast forward to August 27th, it landed in Canada and was placed under review by Canada Post. September 1st it clears customs and lucky me no duty fees.  If your panicking about a package taking long, don't worry. Chinese logistics companies are just slow. I had found this out as it was my first AliExpress order. I had contacted their customer support a few times to see why it's taking long. Yes I know I ordered during the Covid-19 pandemic but it still took long.  This is a rare case. Seller in AliExpress answered only 2 questions. When I tried to get answer...
