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 Reviews: Anker Conf 200 Webcam

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Now I Begin
I finally pulled the trigger, completing my rig. But I had to improvise due to the chip shortage. Instead of a 24” 4.5K iMac, I went with a 16 GB RAM, 1 TB MBA. Thirteen inches is too small for these aging eyes, so I went in the opposite direction. I purchased a 32”...
Freshly Squeezed Op-Ed: Apple, Gimmie Some Truth
I was a regular bar playing musician for many, many years. Despite limitations due to health, until now, I still dabble in composition. When Apple announced Spatial Audio, their version of Dolby Atmos, I was very interested to hear their results. I wanted to revisit...
Freshly Squeezed Reviews: Zen DAC Revisited
Roughly half a year ago, I did a review of the ifi Zen DAC v2. I thought I'd bring you up to speed on my experience thus far. I use my Zen DAC in my studio apartment, attached to my iMac. I run it off of phantom power and have it hooked up externally to a pair of...
Freshly Squeezed Reviews: Extend Your Battery’s Life With Chargie
While researching this review I found several schools of thought on charging your mobile device’s battery. Apple says: ”iPhone has a setting that helps slow the rate of your battery’s aging by reducing the time it spends fully charged. This setting uses machine...
Freshly Squeezed Reviews: Center Cam For Better Looking Virtual Meetings
Center Cam is slightly smaller than the size of a dime, sporting a 1920x1080p 2.0 mp HD camera with a 30fps native frame rate mounted to a USB-A cord (a USB-C cord can be purchased as an accessory). It supports a plethora of platforms from various Window’s iterations,...
With the advent of the pandemic, one of the few bright spots is that numerous people have become less technophobic. I won’t list the plethora of software packages that have brought about virtual business meetings, family get togethers, and friendly gatherings. Even...
Freshly Squeezed Reviews: Composing And Recording On-The-Go
Eons ago, I was a musician. Technically, musicians will point-out that whether you’re playing or not, you’re a musician for life. Coincidentally, all my years of musicianship help me in writing these reviews: the flow of a sentence by using specific words in a precise...
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...
I Like iFi
Now that Apple has tossed its hat into the Lossless Audio ring, as I explained last month, you will require a new piece of hardware - a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter)/headphone amp. This is irregardless if you’re using a mobile device or a desktop/laptop. The...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Stop it, Just Stop It
I watch a lot of YouTube. Actually, I watch way too much YouTube. I often use it for research purposes sometimes. Pathetic, eh? I’m sure you’ve seen a plethora of videos regarding “jellygate”. Apple didn’t create the problem, it’s a hardware limitation (though I see...
