TweetBot is not worth the price for me. It has great design, but lacks functionality.

26 Aug, 2013

I’ve been using Tweetbot for two months now on the Mac and I was very excited to get it. I was very happy with the iOS app and most users seem happy with the Mac app; so I jumped in too. After quite a bit of use, I have to say I don’t think it’s […]

Safari 7 & the New Webkit Inspector

10 Jun, 2013

Yesterday I wrote about how I was hoping for an awesome new Safari 7 at WWDC. The good news is that it was talked about, but it’s those little features like reopen closed tabs and private browsing that I won’t know about until I get to use it. I was informed however that the upgraded […]

Why is no one talking about Safari 7? #WWDC

9 Jun, 2013

WWDC is upon us and I always hold out hope that Apple is going to release a kick ass Safari update. Something that takes Apple’s awesome design and functionally skills and makes a better browser. Now Safari 6 isn’t horrible, it’s actually a pretty darn good browser. However, there are a few things that make […]

No Siri, I’m Not Looking for a Strip Club.

6 May, 2013

I asked Siri if strawberries like the sun or the shade more and she looked up strip clubs! Also, I checked out Time Music Agency and it’s not a strip club. Just saying. And just so you know, strawberries like the shade, but want at least 6 hours of sunshine.

Quick fix for iOS 6’s internet connection issue.

28 Feb, 2013

When we returned home from vacation, our iPhones connected right up to our wireless, but they couldn’t load any websites. I was quite confused as nothing had changed with our wireless, but it failed to work; yet the computer worked just fine. Turns out, the issue was with the DNS. A quick update to the […]

Why is finding books so hard in iOS book apps?

20 Feb, 2013

I can’t quite figure out why the three leading eBook companies make it so hard to find books on the iPad. The other day my daughter wanted a princess book so I opened up iBooks on the iPad and searched. I could search for books in the store, but, much to my surprise, I could not […]

Trying to find the best GTD task application.

31 Oct, 2012

GTD cat is not sure what to do next.

Recently I’ve been on a mission to find an application that can help me manage my tasks and get things done. I wanted something that was free, synced to my phone and easy to use. Below are my random notes based on my testing. I wanted to do a full featured writeup but I haven’t […]

Are iPhones really that fragile?

15 Oct, 2012

We’re now proud owners of iPhones! I was actually able to walk into a Verizon store and get an iPhone 5 on Saturday. My wife has a 4S. One of the things the Verizon guy told us was that the iPhone 4s was extremely fragile. Dropping it from 3 feet would make it explode. He […]
