How Not to Buy New Apple Products & First Impressions
Every year when the new shiny comes out, I find a worse way to buy my Apple products. Who can forget when the iPhone 4 came out and I stood in line how long to get it? I think it was 7 or 9 hours, can’t remember exactly. Then the next time I thought I’d […]

Series 4 Apple Watch: How Much Different Is It in Size to Series 3?
Apple has accomplished something really extraordinary in the physical design of the Series 4 Apple Watch.

Scanner Pro Takes the Pain Out of Scanning Documents
I hate scanning almost as much as I hate printing, and I really hate printing. I hate dragging out my Fuji ScanSnap scanner. I hate making room on my desk for all the unscanned papers and for the ones that shoot out of the scanner. I hate fighting with getting the pages into the scanner […]

People think of California as a really hot place and are always surprised when they come here and realize that the coastal areas really aren’t that hot. The weather people here have a standard line they replay most days: “Early morning low clouds, followed by hazy afternoon sunshine.” We can stay at a pretty much […]
