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 …
The Apple Watch
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 …
Children's Museum Pizza Fest 2013
We went to the Children's Museum's Pizza Fest last night with Josh and Heidi. Boy was it interesting. The event lasted from 5 - 7:30 and had quite a turn out. We thought that purchasing our tickets ahead of time would speed things along but it turned out to be the exact opposite. There was …
Why Hasn't Windows 7 Taken Off?
That is the question that was posted over on OS News today. They refer to a post written by the former Windows Phone 7 General Manger, Charlie Kindel.

Taming Twins: Zachary Comes Into His Own

Logitech Revue Review
Last week I explained my reasons for purchasing a Google TV. I think it is a cool idea and recent cuts have moved it to a price point that I can handle. I picked it up recently and started playing with it. Here's what I think. First Impressions Before I start, let me make the …
Why on Earth Did I Order a Google TV?
A few weeks ago I ordered a Logitech Revue. If you don't know what that is, maybe you've heard of the Google TV? No? Well anyway, the Revue is a box that you plug into your TV. It runs Google software (a version of Android, actually) that lets you access the internet from your TV. …
Apple to Ditch Intel for ARM Processors? No.
There has been a rumor floating around for a few months about Apple eventually transitioning its hardware over to ARM based processors (the ones that are in the iPhone / iPad) and phasing out Intel machines. The rumor recently popped up again because a Wall Street analyst released a report stating so. The idea is …
