I'm celebrating the history of my iPhones! Read Part One here. The iPhone 3GS (2009) The 3GS shared the same case design and shape with the 3G but included major internal improvements. It kicked off Apple's "S" strategy by taking the current form factor and making major improvements to the internals and adding other features. …
My iPhone Lineage: Part One
My iPhone X is now shipping and I should have it hopefully by Friday. The X will be my fifth iPhone. In celebration and anticipation of it's arrival I'd like to take a walk down memory lane to reminisce on the iPhones I've owned thus far. Prologue I joined the iPhone parade a couple years …
Janet Jackson: State of the World Tour
I saw Janet Jackson in Boston last weekend and it was fantastic. I've been waiting to see her for almost 2 years since her tour was put on hiatus in 2015. Sally bought us tickets as a gift for my 30th birthday, back when it was called the Unbreakable Tour. After two delays, surgery, and …
Buyer’s Remorse Avoided
Since my iPhone X won't reach me for a couple of weeks (someday I'll shut up about it, I promise) I've got some extra time to reflect on my purchase before it arrives. One of my reflections has been about my choice of color. I purchased a black model but I keep asking myself, should …
Excited for iPhone X
The iPhone X goes on sale tomorrow and I'm really excited for it. Mine won't ship until November 17 at the earliest but I'm OK with it; I'm still excited reading the reviews as they come out. I was concerned that FaceID might interrupt the flow I'm used to, but it seems to function very …

It's a Halloween festival that turns the entire area into a haunted neighborhood full of Trick-or-Treat, activities, characters, music, food, and fun. It was really, really, really cool. Orange lights were strung up in paths to guide the …
Junior Pictures
We visited the NH Farm Museum in Milton last week and it is a really cool place. It's a big old farm (surprise) with a farmhouse museum, a bar full of ancient farm equipment, and grassy farmland that you can tour. Real chickens roam around while you explore. It's pretty cool. The sun was bright …
Mac Museum New Additions – October 2013
The post below exemplifies the ebb and flow of the Mac Museum over time. I'll focus on it for months at a time, purchasing, organizing, and writing only to let it sit untouched for a year. Then I rediscover it and start over. I wrote this post in 2013 and basically forgot to publish it. …
Elementary Adjustment
The boys started first grade a couple of weeks ago. We kept them in private kindergarten at their day care last year so this is their first experience with public school. Needless to say there has been some adjustment, mostly on our side... Let's start with drop off. Even though there was an open house, …
