Technology: Apple is Ruining Maps.app in Favor of their Maps Services
I wanted to open by saying this critique is not about Apple Maps’ quality as in a slight of the map itself and all of its attributes. This is a product rant. I previously worked at a company supplying map data to Apple so I want to make that clear up front. via MacRumors: “Apple …
My Own Little Elephant, self-hosting Mastodon – Follow Along
If you really care about your data, you should host it yourself. Despite all of the talk this week about folks liberating their blogging that used to take place on Twitter, everyone just jumped ship over to more servers owned by other people. It’s something that was a little surprising. You’d think that folks who …
My iOS Homescreen – 2023
Another year, another homescreen. As always, I have to thank MG for his timely annual reminder to do this. After almost a decide, I’m surprised that it’s not a habit by now. There are a lot of changes this year. Except for the top 2 rows. Those are remaining the same. I use every app …
Technology: I won’t buy the first Apple Headset
Some great details were shared today by Macrumors that really gave concrete examples of what the very first Apple VR/AR headset (not sure which one it will be yet) might have as far as features and a rumored $3,000 price. It’s an exciting proposition but I’m not ready for what Apple is going to give …
Technology: iPhones 14, Apple Watch Ultra and AirPods Pro 2nd Gen

The Apple Watch Ultra is now the only Apple Watch …
15 Years of iPhone
A picture is worth a million words…shot on iPhone shortly after release in 2007. I was first in my town to get one at a Cingular store and then first in San Francisco to get a 3G a year later. The 2nd iPhone added 3G and the App Store….the first iPhone started the revolution but …
Twitter Goes Private
If I had comments enabled on this blog, surely someone would have commented on my now 32 day old post, “Twitter, Nine Years Removed” with “#AgedLikeMilk” and they’d be right except my post wasn’t about Twitter, it was about my usage of Twitter and how I feel the product is looking. I think Twitter is …
Timing: A MacOS App for Logging your Computing Activities
One year into this pandemic, I was feeling like every day really was Groundhog Day. I woke up, made coffee, sat at my desk and remained there until the sun went down. In New Hampshire, our sunset can be as early as 4:12PM and as late at 9:xx PM. In the Winter, it feels like …
I am a Writer Part 2 – 365 Days of Words
To piggyback on my post from 2020 about my anxiety on how often I blog, I decided to measure how much I write even if it’s not being published here. One year ago, I installed WordCounter. This MacOS MenuBar app synchronizes via iCloud between my iMac and MacBook Pro and sits in the menu bar …
