Freshly Squeezed OpEd: A.I. and me

“Reality. What a concept.” - Robin Williams A.I. is one of those generational flashpoints. We’ve seen only a smidgen of the incredible things it will afford us. The first thing that comes to mind is the truly amazing things it promises to help people with disabilities...

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 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...

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...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Watch Your Language

I’ve been writing reviews and OpEds for near two decades now and I’ve learned two important lessons. First, writing my sentences and articles is precisely like writing a song. I have to use my words and sentences to compose an ebb and flow that keeps the reader...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Flip-Flop #32

So, when I last brought you up-to-date on my first-world problem, I was waffling between an iPad-lifestyle and a Mac-lifestyle. Let me bring you up to speed. Since last we spoke about this lunacy, I made a decision. I purchased an iPadAir 4, 64GB, green. And...

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 Reviews: Light Cubed

Several months ago I reviewed the benefits of Bias Lighting, not just for setting ambience but regarding taxing your retinas. Lately, I have found myself being a creator of video not just a consumer. Appearing on the occasional podcast (what were they thinking?) and...

Freshly Squeezed Reviews: In Defense of Apple Maps

The big troika of smartphone navigation apps are Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps. I believe that recently Apple has brought its map app up to parity and then some. On November 28, 2007, Google Maps for Mobile 2.0 was released.On September 23, 2008, coinciding with...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Watch Comes to the Handicapped

I watched the WWDC 2016 keynote. I have to be honest. Being of the age where as I have been computing for several decades but computing is not embedded in my DNA, I did find myself simultaneously in states of ecstasy and dizzying bewilderment. Amazing stuff. But there...
