iBook Snow on Wikipedia Hi, I’m George from Tulsa and I started this piece thinking it would be a simple report about my new monitor and how it answers Allison’s great framing question, “What’s the problem to be solved?” Answering that required context – I could have begun with the 5″ screen in my first […]

ergotron LX Monitor Arm – Inexpensive Solution to an Annoying Problem (for Women)
You may remember that a year ago Steve, in a moment of lunacy, bought me a Pro Display XDR. Not only that, he sprung for the extra $1000 for Apple’s stand. When I talked about it last year, I mentioned that the stand left me kind of disappointed. I promise this article won’t just be […]

The Problem to be Solved Lepow 15.6″ with 27″ 5K and 16′ MacBook Pro I’ve got a 16″ MacBook Pro with a 27″ 5K display, but believe it or not, I run out of screen real estate when I’m running the live show for the creation of the NosillaCast. Between MarsEdit for the shownotes, Hindenburg […]

The Box of Happiness and Why You Should Learn VoiceOver
When Lindsay found out she was pregnant, she asked us if we would come stay a week with her and Nolan like we did when Forbes was born. She really wanted us there to help out, and to keep Forbes out of their hair as they got into the rhythm of the new baby. We […]

Continuing Mac Processor Problem – Today’s Theory
Last week I went into great detail about all of the experiments Steve and I have gone through with my 2016 MacBook Pro because I can no longer stream video. As soon as I start streaming, my processor slows down from a nominal 2.6GHz to 1 GHz which makes the Mac nearly unusable. The conclusion […]
