Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Automating The Disabled

Those of you who follow this blog regularly (seriously, go outside and catch some air) know that I have health issues. I’ve had Multiple Sclerosis for half of my life. But this past year, my body decided to up the ante and throw in a few more maladies for giggles. If...

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 OpEd: The Siri Wars

Because of disability issues, it's easier for me to use my voice than to type. This means that I lean quite heavily and often on Siri.Though not the sharpest crayon out there, it'll do. Most of us have likely experienced the odd situation when someone says "Hey Siri'...

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: 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: So Long, Mr. Ive, Welcome Home, Practicality

By now everyone in the Mac community has heard. Several highly reliable and respected sources are reporting that we’re getting all of our prayers answered. The return of MagSafe, more ports, the removal of the TouchBar and a somewhat slight redesign gracing 14” and...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Resolutions Are Made To Be Broken

New Year’s Eve has come and gone. Every year we all swear not to make resolutions as we won’t honor them past February. But I have to get serious this year. Resolution 1: Learn computing. I’ve been writing software and hardware reviews for near two decades now and I...

Freshly Squeezed Reviews: …And Then He Perfected the Light Bulb

I skim a plethora of tech sites and watch plenty of You Tube channels daily to stay abreast of what’s happening RE: Apple software and hardware. One particular reviewer has been complaining about Apple Mail behaving erratically, which caught my attention as I’ve had...

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...
