The other day I plugging in my i-devices and let them update to the latest and greatest iOS 11. Sometimes these releases wreak havoc on launch day, but I was pleased to say that my devices updated without issue. I’ve had a couple days to spend with the new OS now, and I had a […]
Read moreTrees in the fog
It was a foggy morning again this morning, and on my drive down to the coffee shop I came across a cool scene. This is near some baseball fields, but because of the dense fog you can’t really tell that there’s much out there besides a few trees. I pulled it into Lightroom Mobile and […]
Read morePresidential tweeting
One of the more interesting debates that I read about in the news recently, was the state of Trump’s Twitter account. In the past, things that our presidents have written have become part of the official presidential record. As we moved into the digital age, it was easy to transfer this notion to things like […]

Considering some Pi
My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I’ve been toying with the idea of picking up a Raspberry Pi to play with. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a piece of pure hardware that you have to mold and shape into something. I’m actually coming late to the party on this, as […]
Read moreThe age of tablet computing
On Friday there was an excellent article published on The Verge, relating to the 7 year anniversary of the iPad. It asked the question about how the notion of what the iPad is has changed over the past seven years. I recall myself even talking about all the hype of what the iPad is and […]

Saturday for lunch we hit a local Indian buffet. I got one of my kids to go along to try it, and despite finding it a bit too spicy, he had a good time. The cool thing about the place we visited was how authentic it was. Most of the patrons were Indian, and the […]

Recently, I found myself in a position where I needed to write some technical recommendations, apart from my job for a project. In the end, I decided not to do the project, but I spent a great deal of time writing up this document. I felt like it would be a shame to waste all […]
Read moreTechnology in 2015
The end of the year is quickly approaching, and it also appears that my trusty 2011 iMac is also approaching a tipping point. Recently it has developed occasional screen artifacts, and my Google-fu is pointing towards a dying video card. Soon I’ll be at a crossroads where I need to determine if I want to […]
Read moreNever too old to love tech
I was delighted today by the video below of a 97 year old woman who wanted to visit Google headquarters. Her assisted living community granted the wish and the short video about the visit is awesome.

Post-PC world
I recently read an article on The Verge by Tom Warren that talked about the notion of living in a post-PC world, and how he felt that the PC was far from dead, and that there’s no such thing as a post-PC world. He summarizes his argument with the following: Perhaps it’s time to kill off […]

Today’s creation is actually over at my tech blog, LibArtTech.net. I did a quick run down on some of the cool things that caught my eye from CES 2015 so far. On a personal note, I’m feeling better today, about 70-80% of healthy. The gross things have mostly stopped, and I managed a nice piece […]
