The push certainly has a deeper integration. I own a gen 1 (they're on 2 now), but rarely use it. In fact I wish your comment were true: I'd like to get some value out of the push, but... meh. In fairness, I've never been a h

This is so great. I've considered it many times. Do these people offer help with administrative tasks as well? Sites like upwork and taskrabbit haven't really delivered. (edit: looks like you're in Redmond. I'm in Seattl
