Kellen

It’s not often that you get to merge personal passions into a professional life, but that’s what Kellen did when he launched Droid Life in 2009. After working years of unsatisfying jobs in the medical and property management fields, he took a risk to try and create an online community while playing with the coolest gadgets on the planet each day, a risk that has turned out to be incredibly rewarding. Outside of Droid Life, Kellen is your typical Portlander who drinks way too much good beer, complains often about the Trail Blazers, and can be found out on the streets for a run, rain or shine.

  • Ah Verizon. The bills are high enough without the nickel and diming. Same with spam number blocking, visual voice mail, this stuff should be part of the service. No one there seems to figure out why people find alternate and better solutions.

    How’s VZ Navigator working out?

    • If, by working out you mean almost no one knows it exists and those who do know shun it like a turd in a swimming pool, then yes, it’s working out just fine. Thanks for asking.

  • They will see what they want eventually so whats the use .. besides , isnt it perverted to monitor with whom and what about they are texting? Like would u like if some1 would have done that to you? ..

    • People grew up with only a phone in the living room, kitchen, or whatever common room. Parent’s most of the time would answer the phone so they knew who was calling then give the phone to the kid. And with the phone in the open area not like they couldn’t hear what was being said. Same difference. Unless you were one of the lucky ones to have your own phone in your room.

      • yea but that was the 20th century , my question to u is .. why do u wanna give a phone to a kid anyway then? whats the point? why do they need one? and how old kids are we talking about? and as i said .. u think they wont be able to “do” what they`ll do anyway and see what we saw even back where there was no internet? .. just look at the media these days, as far as sex and violence goes, its in ur face 24/7

        • why does it matter ?? u guys r such hypocrites.. btw whats old enough for a phone and in that case ,what for is that phone needed?

      • Since he used the word “perverted” then I think it’s safe to say that he does not have kids

      • no but it makes no difference, were u a kid once? did u like ppl poking their nose to what u were doing?

        • Actually, I’m quite grateful to have had parents who cared enough to poke their nose to what I was doing.

  • WOW. This is just a little creepy and a little bit concerning. Dialog with your children; don’t just blindside them. #TrustIsEarned

    • I agree that dialog is crucial. But it could also be a “both-and” type of thing. Everyone’s situation is different. Sometimes people have to earn trust gradually, and certain limitations are lifted over time.

    • I agree trust must be earned, and mutual dialogue usually takes care of issues before they become big problems.
      However, as long as I pay my son’s phone bill, I have every right to know how he uses the service, including who he calls and texts, what apps he uses/downloads, geolocation, etc. I don’t read his texts or look at his photos without asking, but I would not hesitate to do so if he gave me a reason to think I should.
