My iMac is currently in temporary storage. We were to get our carpets cleaned today, now it’s not until next Monday. So instead of moving everything back, it’s staying in storage. That means that my desk and iMac are not available to me. Ok, they could be if I really wanted. But I thought it […]

What are Macs made of? Sweet, majestic unicorn tears.
From Chrome to Safari to Firefox and back again.
It seems that I can’t find a browser that is perfect. I try them all, I love parts of them all, and there are always things I don’t like. With Chrome, its startup speed is annoying me. It takes a while to do something on startup and I’m not sure what that is. I think […]

Does Your Smartphone Have a Passcode? It Should.

Does The iPad Have To Worry About Screen Burn?
I hardly ever think about screen burn anymore. The idea of leaving one image on my computer screen for so long that it starts to burn the image into it forever doesn’t seem like it would happen. That’s what the screen saver or sleep mode is for anyway. But what about my iPad? Most of […]
