The following year, we did it again but something awful happened. Someone who publishes a list of parties during Macworld included our party and we had […]

Will the PETLIBRO Smart Cat Feeder Keep My Cat from Overeating?
Ruben-esque Ada with Trim Grace You may have noticed that Steve and I spend a fair bit of time away from home. Tesla requires a great deal of playtime and attention, so she either goes to doggie camp, or if it’s a longer trip she either goes to Camp Nancy (a very dear friend of […]

The Motion Book is a video screen inside a book that automatically plays any videos or slideshows you put on its internal storage. She wanted one of The Motion Books so she could have her wedding […]

My adult children think I’m an anachronism. I write paper checks to pay my utility bills. I have an iPhone, but it is an old-ish iPhone XR (ten-R?) and I don’t even use half of my 3GB data allotment. I don’t do social media, other than to sign into Discord on Sunday nights to check […]
