A little over one year ago, I wrote a review about my collection of items that help me retain some amount of sanity as I navigate my daily workflow. I’ve tried the Palmedero Method (25 minutes work, 5 minutes chill) but I couldn’t get it to achieve its objective...

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 OpEd: And So It Begins
Now for the latest on my new layout. As usual, Apple under promised. I received both my iPhone 13 mini and iPad mini about a week ahead of schedule. Now I’m going through all the cruft I’ve collected on both devices over the years. It’s amazing how much stuff you can...
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: 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'...

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...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Unmask what?
Have you done it yet? All the cool kids are doing it. Doing what you ask? Why taking your masks off – the masks on your avatars and logos. I have a friend that does several podcasts a week. She recently unmasked all her avatars and logos and proudly proclaimed it...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Totally Retro
There has been a lot of chinwagging going on regarding the appearance of the latest iMac M1. Most people are warming up to the colors but are steadfastly disenchanted with the white bezels. If you are as ancient as I am, you can recall the early days of the iMac and...
