When the Apple Watch Series 2 was announced, it didn’t sound like that big of an upgrade to me from the original watch. I bought it anyway, mostly because Steve wanted to get a new one, and I had the dreaded FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Now that I’ve had it for a week, I […]

Lately I’ve been getting questions from people who don’t listen to the podcast and don’t read the blog but were simply searching for answers online and found podfeet.com.
