This felt like the first time I really wanted to write and share a bit of what I’ve been up to or felt like I was in a place where it felt like I was not the dog amongst the flames. While many sheltered remotely, yours truly was madly engineering, implementing and deploying solutions and…

This is a bit of a hot topic at the moment. 9to5Mac has reported in the 10.15.3 Beta there are references to a “PROMODE” option in the OS; pushing the system to its thermal limits at the cost of battery life and quiet fan noise. In the example given it seems to relate to the…

Another crazy year. If I thought I took an L on 2018 – 2019 MIGHT have at least been a Draw, if only due to how it finished out. If things would settle down in 2020; I’d really appreciate it. Checking back on what I had set out on in late 2018 for 2019… Learning…

I love being and feeling productive. That scratches such a psychological itch or fulfillment for me its difficult to describe, suffice to say that it makes me feel great. In the spirit of being productive I thought I might share some of my toolset that helps me in that mission – since its the end…

This past Apple Keynote was mostly lack-luster for me.   I’m still sifting through everything as embargoes are lifting but my opinions on this years offerings still seem mostly unchanged. iPhones Xs & Xs Max Names: This remains poor for consumers. I’m not a fan of mixing a letter representing numbers with letters that don’t…

I’ve been sitting on this one for a little while but today’s tweet was a little preview. A few months ago I took on some “other duties as assigned.” I can’t reveal exactly what those are suffice to say they revolve around software platform management and some additional technical skills that…I didn’t (still don’t really)…

Sad news from the Panic! Blog; the sale of one of their best professional applications on iOS is being “suspended” from future purchases. This is a another serious blow to professional applications on iOS. Using iOS or attempting to use iOS as a primary computing device desperately needs developers like Panic to be profitable and…
