The High-Tech Texan

A special Mother's Day show co-hosted by Great Day Houston host Deborah Duncan (KHOU-CBS). We run down some unique gift ideas for mom including what NOT to get her.  My old boss, Bill Gates, announced his divorce from Melinda and we yap about the philanthropical ramifications.  And what will happen to Dogecoin when Elon Musk hosts Saturday Night Live tonight?

Always fun to take the show on the road and we had a fun time broadcasting from a Wan Bridge home in NE Houston. These are brand new, beautiful homes available to RENT (you can't buy them).  Smart idea.  In this episode we also discuss the best webcams on the market and evaluate Samsung's new laptops.

Always trying to bring the excitement to love to partner companies so we take the show on the road to the FireDisc flagship store in Houston, TX. They don't accept cryptocurrency just yet but it may come soon.  We yap about the surge in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin and what to expect.  Plus I delve into the horrific Tesla crash that happened just north of Houston - tech or driver fail...

As heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show," Michael talks about the Mundus Pro UV-C LED Disinfectant Tray and Wireless Charging Dock. Does it really kill 99.998% of nasty germs to clean your gadgets?  Take a listen.

As heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show," Michael talks about smart home products including a new video doorbell from Nooie. Big battery, quality audio and video, easy set-up. How does it stack up against other products in the category?  Take a listen. www.nooie.com 

Harmony announced they will no longer make universal remote controls.  They were one of the leading companies to make the devices but now what will be turn to when switching channels or cranking the volume? Domino's Pizza is testing a self-driving mobile that delivers pizza to your home. I'll tell you why this is a baaaaad idea. And for all of you 80's fans, it was the heat of the moment when...

Looks like a sexy Batmobile.  Though a bit cramped inside it still cuts through traffic as a head-turner with interesting angles plus a smooth ride.

Spring Break continues at Lago Mar in Texas City, Texas.  We take the show on the road from the 12-acre Crystal Lagoon with white, sandy beaches, palm trees, beautiful water, and hopefully some bikinis.  Visit www.lagoonhouston.com. LG gets out of the smartphone business but how long will they support your smartphone?  Samsung introduces a new Galaxy A series which are quite afforda...

April Fool's jokes can be a no-no on the radio (so says my Program Director).  But was the craziest April Fool's joke you played or was played on you? Did you see Godzilla vs Kong on HBO Max yet?  I had Godzilla at 3-1. Thoughts on watching "big" movies like this at home instead of at theaters?

Had enough of Facebook or Twitter.  A lot of peeps - including celebrities followed my millions of people - are saying SCREW IT, I'M DONE.  I've often said that Facebook is the devil (and all social media).  Maybe it is time to say "see ya." Also, I speak with the found of a paleo meal subscription service.  If you don't know what paleo is you may be surprised.

A subcompact CUV that has some decent pep and nice features inside.

The high-end Avenir label adds the comfort of this CUV.

Pi Day (March 14) or St. Patrick's Day. Both "holidays" happened this past week but which one is more over-celebrated? And just until Cinco de Mayo. NFT's (Non-fungible tokens) are as confusing as cryptocurrency. Let's try to figure this out so we can all get rich.

How does this 7-seat SUV compare to others on the market.  The Avenir upgrade is quite stunning.

Gage Mueller with SunPro Solar Energy joins me to talk about the benefits of solar panels and dispels some of the misconceptions.  As heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" - KPRC 950AM Houston, iHeartRadio

You'd really love this if it was on TV and could see where I did this episode from. But you can hear me describe the 12-acre Crystal Lagoon in the Lago Mar community in Texas City. Like the state, it is BIG. Luckily the weather was beautiful unlike a few weeks ago when the area was covered with ice and snow but I do discuss that and chat with Gage Mueller of SunPro Solar Energy. Would having solar...

I waited 33 years for the sequel to "Coming To America" and wondered if it could top the greatest movie sequel ever - "Die Hard 2".  Yep.  Ok, call it nostalgia but the script was a helluva lot better than I expected.  Hear why Wesley Snipes stole the show.

This is week when the annual World's Championship BBQ Contest is supposed to be held.  27 years and running; until now.  Thanks (not) COVID-19. I lead a discussion on Texas BBQ vs every other food in the world.  Plus the run down of the true costs of video games - it ain't just the cost of an Xbox or PS5.  Buyer beware. 

I'll start a national podcasts when it snows in Houston.  Oops.  Careful what you wish for.  How ERCOT failed the state and why it still may not be worth it to install a whole-home generator. 

Done in typical Michael Garfield style, he sits down with Ms. Goodsill to talk about her new book with a unique perspective on Hawaii.  It's not so much focused on stereotypical icons of the Aloha State such as Don Ho, Hawaii 5-0, or Magnum P.I, but rather individual conversations with important voices from the island.

Thoughts on driving this big hunk of a high-tech, hauling machine.

A solid CUV from Buick.
