Too many hobbies, not enough focus
The tag line for the iBook was iMac to Go, a theme made very clear by the first-generation model introduced in July 1999. The iBook uses the same colorful translucent plastic as the iMac and had the same consumer-focused ambitions in a notebook form. Initial models came in Tangerine (Orange) and Blueberry (Light Blue) "flavors" but changed …

Another Christmas season has come and gone. The boys have another set of memories to add to their childhood experience. They are 6 now and this season has been the most, "high definition", of them all. Emotions Like most children, the boys love the holidays. It snows, we decorate, there's Santa, and of course, presents. …
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 …

I spent part of my time off a couple weeks ago shopping. Ever since I returned from the West coast last year I've been looking to buy a new Mac. Editing photos on my 13" MacBook Pro was disappointing because it was so slow. Even though it was reading the images off of a fast …

I've been in LA for a week now it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. My flight out was delayed by about 40 minutes because the crew was trying to find a flight path out of the strong jet stream to save time. Unfortunately there was no alternate route and we wouldn't have enough fuel to make …
Apple announced its highly anticipated watch today. It isn't the first smart watch, but it is Apple's unique take on what a watch should be. I'm not going to go over all of the details here – there is a ton of stuff on Apple's website. Instead I'm going to toss out some initial thoughts …
