Bloxels is really Fun!

So, I am having lots of fun on Bloxels. You can make your own video games, play videos games, and lot's more. I usually make video games, but sometimes I play them to get used to my keyboard (I play it on a Chromebook, not an iPad). This is what the Bloxels logo looks like.

So, you have to pay $19.99 if you want it, but playing the video games are free. If you like Bloxels you can get a T-shirt!

Now, as soon as I started, I had lots of fun! No matter if you have an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, Chromebook, Chromebox, or even a Windows 10 computer, you can use Bloxels! According to my email, the time I started building on Bloxels is at April 4, 2020 at 10:16 AM (central time). You need an email to use to sign up, and most 2nd graders don't but most 2nd graders parents do! Your projects sync in the cloud (not up in the sky) and you can publish your video games! Need tutorials? There are plenty to watch! But, you will need Wi-Fi! You have it if you're reading this right now! And, the cloud I talk about is not up ↑it's somewhere else! It's even funner than Prodigy! Learn more at edu.bloxelsbuilder.com and buy Bloxels and Bloxels-related stuff like the T-shirt here.

TechyTommy Phones: IFTTT + Text Messages!

A year ago, I did a blog post on a website called IFTTT! If you want to view that, click here ! But let me quickly explain why this is relevant to phones! Lots of carriers have a way to send text messages through email! This is carrier-specific, so you can't just send it to all phone numbers! For example, Cellcom has yournumber@cellcom.quiktxt.com and U.S Cellular has yournumber@email.uscc.net! (These are carrier emails for TechyTommy Email VIP users.) To use all of these, format your phone number like this: 1234567890! These are called "SMS to email gateways"! But what if your carrier is not listed here? Thankfully, there is a website with 92 carriers in the United States! Just go to email2sms.info if your carrier isn't in this article! But how does IFTTT work here? While, IFTTT can send emails from your Gmail account! Previously, I was talking about connecting Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and Google Calendar to Contacts! But now, we can connect any...

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...

TechyTommy Phones: Getting a Phone!

So today, I'm getting a phone! What phone am I going to get? The iPhone 13! So we went to Cellcom to get the phone! We had to wait a long time! But now I got it! This is my first phone! Now, when we went to the grocery store, I kept on sending videos to Philip while we were there, and when we were coming home! It did take a while, but it worked! I had one problem with it where text messages would take a while, but I no longer have that problem! Now, the iPhone 13 has a feature called Face ID! You can unlock just by looking at your phone! But the iPhone 13 supports a feature called Wi-Fi Calling! What is it like? While, it just feels like a normal phone call or text message! But I would rate my phone 10 out of 10! But I get the Premium Unlimited Medium during the summer, and Premium Unlimited Small during the school year! But let's look at Cellcom a little more! Now, phone quality! Cellcom has VoLTE (they call it "Advanced Calling"), which means phone calls and SMS/MMS...
