Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Doom Lurks Around The Corner, As Required

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: iPad Lost

A while back, I was so smitten with the newly released iPad Mini 6 that I traded in my newly purchased iPad Air 8 to snatch up one of these new lovelies. It had a new design (actually a small iPad Pro design) but it had USB-C. Faster file transfer (at least from...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: I Finally Pulled The Trigger

If you've been playing along at home, you know of all the flip-flopping I've done trying to decide on my new layout. I finally did it with the help of MindNode to weigh the pros and cons and Apple dangling shiny things in front of me. So here's what I wound up...
