  • 2021 in review: blog and projects

    I thought it would be fun to review what has happened this past year on my blog, what I had set out to do, and what I’ve accomplished. I’m hoping that by writing this post it will give me some clarity on what I may want to try to do in 2022. January In very…

  • AirPods Pro observations

    My wife recently gifted me a pair of AirPods Pro for our 22nd Anniversary which is coming up in a few days. She loves her AirPods. She has repeatedly said “these are my favorite Apple product ever” and she’s owned many products made by Apple including iPhones, Apple Watches, laptops, and iPads — all great…

    I was going to wait a little bit longer before writing my review of this new computer, but Michael Tsai recently published some of his thoughts on it and – after writing a post in response to his experiences I realized it was turning into a bit of a review – so now this post…

  • Dan Kimbrough reviews the Samsung Galaxy Note8

    Dan Kimbrough seems to love his Note8. However, he did offer this one caveat: The one big let down I have is the speaker. It’s weak and poorly located. There’s only one speaker for media playback. At the bottom, to the right of the charging port. If you’re left handed, that’s probably where your pinky…

  • Jack Baty on Guardians of the Galaxy 2

    Jack Baty: Almost lost me in the first 15 minutes. Way too silly for its own good. Felt to me like they took what they thought made the first film successful and just cranked up those bits. I enjoyed the middle portion, so stuck with it. If I had written a review, this would be…
