Around 12 years ago, Steve surprised me with an extravagant gift. He bought me a Heil PR-40 microphone. This mic is still one of the gold standards, running $350-400 to this day.

RIP iThoughts – Choosing a New Mind Mapping Tool
This week I read in the TidBITS newsletter, the awful news that my favorite mind mapping tool, iThoughts from Toketaware was being discontinued. If you’ve had a beloved tool shut down before, you know it’s like losing touch with a dear old friend. The developer, Craig Scott, has been a favorite of mine as well. […]
