Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Pick Some Suffixes and Be Done With It

iPad mini. iPad. iPad Air. iPadPro. iPhone SE. iPhone Mini. iPhone. iPhone Pro. iPhone Pro Max. Whatever happened to Steve’s concept of simplicity when he returned. Keep the product line focused. As an analogy, think of Bob Irvine of Food Network. One of the first...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Every Month Is An Apple Xmas

With the world giving us a new sucker punch seemingly every day, from time to time you find nuggets of joy in the situation. For example: binge watching. Steve, how many times have you watched Andy Griffith now? I found a company in the Netherlands who performed an...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Apple is this goodbye?

I’ve been using Apple for all of my computing life. In the beginning, if anyone ever asked me what computer I’d recommend, I never even paused for a second. You had to get an Apple. I remember a former neighbor who was a teacher. One day somehow the topic of computers...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: First World Problem

I had it all sussed. I was going to lead a completely iPadPro lifestyle. I researched the apps I absolutely needed. They were either already ported to the iPadPro, the developers were planning to, or I found a suitable substitute. Then reality barged in. First,...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: When Is Enough Enough?

We are living in historic times. We’re all physically distanced and connecting to family and friends predominantly on the internet highway. (Yes, there are the renegades that use a smartPHONE as a PHONE, just like animals. Go figure.) But a while before the world...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Apple TV+ Opportunity

I got around to watching “Greyhound” with Tom Hanks the other day. It's a fantastic movie. I can understand why he was upset about it not playing on the big screen. As I understand it, he started this project ten years ago. Having a background in film/video plus...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Old dog, old website design

For those of you who have had far too much time on your hands and have followed my writings for however long, you’ll notice I’m refreshing the site. The theme I used to have they stopped supporting about five years ago but I kept using it all the same. Then, I...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Sometimes The Best Tech Support Is Yourself

This weekend I finally got around to beginning to piece together my minimalist SmartHome set up. I live in a studio apartment, so I’m not looking to accomplish much. As I’m wheelchair bound with several health issues, once I transfer to bed, whatever I forgot to do...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Anyway, That’s The Plan

Perhaps it’s a result of being in lockdown but I had a thought (yes, that’s what you smelt burning). I try to do things that people tell me you can’t do. So the gauntlet’s been tossed. Let’s start with a little backstory. I have a degree in film/video/audio. I‘ve shot...

Freshly Squeezed Distractions #3

Since the pandemic lockdown started nine years ago, or so it would seem, I have been doing a lot of consuming of media. I imagine that goes for most people. Binge watching + binge eating. But the further we go into this I’m finding that consuming is wearing thin....

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: First World Conundrum

The lines between tablet, laptop, and desktop machines are becoming increasingly blurred with each passing year. As a result, I‘m having difficulty deciding what direction to take when upgrading my set up. I have a late 2015 model iMac. It has 16 GB of RAM and I...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Time To Move On

I’m torn. Certain things that Apple has done in the last six months have encouraged me. Others have ticked me off intensely. But I’m hoping Apple has realized how much they have screwed the pooch over the last several years, have come to their senses, and are turning...
