I've been writing online at various sites since 2003, mostly about a wide variety of topics including web development, tech, food and whatever else I feel like writing and sharing.
Earlier this year, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook commented on the importance of health to the company. In a statement that has been widely quoted, he said, “I believe, if you zoom out into the future, and you look back, and you ask the question, ‘What was Apple’s greatest contribution to mankind?’
Chris Welch, writing for The Verge: The iPad Pro’s single USB Type-C port is one of my main frustrations about an otherwise truly stellar piece of technology.
From the Playdate website: Hello. We made a brand new handheld gaming system. It’s yellow. It fits in your pocket. It’s got a beautiful black and white screen. It’s not super cheap, but not super expensive. It includes brand new games from some amazing creators. Plus it has a crank.
Mark Rober: Someone stole a package from me. Police wouldn’t do anything about it so I spent the last 6 months engineering up some vigilante justice. Revenge is a dish best served fabulously.
Just a few years ago, Microsoft was seen as a lumbering has-been of the technology world. It was big and still quite profitable, but the company had lost its luster, failing or trailing in the markets of the future like mobile, search, online advertising and cloud computing.
Jason Snell, writing for Six Colors: With the iPad Pro and improvements to iOS and various iOS apps, I reached a point where I could do most or all of my required work on the road without bringing a Mac along.
If Stan Lee revolutionized the comic book world in the 1960s, which he did, he left as big a stamp — maybe bigger — on the even wider pop culture landscape of today. Think of “Spider-Man,” the blockbuster movie franchise and Broadway spectacle.
Austin Mann has published an excellent review of the new iPad Pro for photographers: I was working with Mavic Pro 2 in the black volcanic deserts of south Iceland. While sitting in the car (in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere), I decided to offload my images and review them.
Harry McCracken, writing for Time: It was huge news among the small number of people who could be called computer nerds at the time — people like Paul Allen, who was working as a programmer for Honeywell in Boston.
Open source software company Red Hat is being acquired by IBM for $34 billion USD. Depending on who you ask, it is either the second or third-largest tech acquisition of all time.
It’s thanksgiving, which means turkey time. I usually buy butterball boneless turkey breasts to make since I like getting more meat out of my turkey, and these are all meat and no bones (hence the name) Cooking one with an instant pot is actually pretty quick, and tasty.
I haven’t posted a good recipe in a while, so decided to post this one. It’s a dish I enjoy making in the Instant Pot.
Love cheesy bread? But want a healthier alternative that still tastes good? This cheesy zucchini bread is both healthy and tasty.
Chicken Tikka Masala is one of the most popular Indian dishes out there, and I love it, but I wanted to make a simpler version that was both speedy, healthy and tasty.
I love my pressure cooker, and this is a dish that’s one of my favorites.
It's summer, and that means it's time for grilling in the backyard, but maybe you want a break from the usual burgers or steaks or hot dogs? This spicy, but sweet and tasty fish dish will hit the spot.
When you want a nice zesty sauce but don’t want the usual salsa or pesto, this tasty Tomatillo and Petter sauce is great.
I had started to write my review of the Nintendo Switch, but Myke Hurley did a great job pulling together this video walkthrough of it, and nailed just about everything I had planned to write, so I’m sharing it here. If you are interested in the Nintendo Switch, then you need to watch this video.
