Sean Captain’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I’ve been writing since grade school and through all of my careers – environmental policy analyst, grant writer, consumer analyst, technology journalist. I’ve been taking photos since college. And I’ve always loved to talk – in presentations, press interviews, workshops and panel discussions. My goal is to dig deeply into topics, figure them out, and make clear to people what they are and why they are so damn interesting.

The Roku Select Series tries to offer big-screen thrills for under $400, but it doesn’t quite deliver

I've always loved Roku's straightforward, deliberately simple interface as an alternative to the ever-more-cluttered experiences on other TVs. It’s helped previous models in its TV lineup like the Roku Plus Series to become one of the best budget TVs. But competition has heated up in this price range, and I don't think the Select Series is keeping up. Poor brightness is the dealbreaker for this TV, with dark and even some light scenes looking muddy or faded.

Why Asking Customers for Reviews on the Weekend Might Backfire

Managers may believe the weekend is a great time to solicit feedback. A new study explains why it isn’t. Some companies may think they know the perfect time to ask customers to leave online reviews: the weekends. After all, people aren’t as busy, so they won’t mind the intrusion, right? But that strategy can backfire in a big way—because customers tend to give lower reviews on weekends than they do during the week. Copyright ©2026 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

I tested Vizio’s first new Mini-LED TV for 2026 — for just $400, I’m impressed

Having covered flat-panel TVs from nearly their inception, I'm stunned that I can buy a good-looking 65-inch screen for under $400. But that is the world we live in now, and the Vizio Mini-LED Quantum 4K Smart TV is a prime example of big-screen value on a shoestring budget. Aside from its sometimes-infuriating OS and an atrocious default image mode (the latter is easy to remedy), I was generally pleased with the Dolby Vision-enabled Vizio TV, and I suspect most people would be, too.
