Taking a page from Cliff Wade’s book, I’m listing the apps software, and devices that I use daily.
I’m open to suggestions for different apps/software if you have any. Feel free to drop them in the comments below or contact me on any of my social media platforms.

In almost 45 years of tech nerdery I’ve covered a fair amount of ground software-wise. I saw a question posted online not too long ago, asking people what the “best app you’ve ever used?” and it had me thinking through everything I can remember messing with over the decades. After giving it a chunk of consideration I arrived at the answer.

So this isn’t the end all be all of the iPad finally finding its footing. I’m not going to try and pretend that it is, but at the conclusion of Apple’s Let Loose iPad event today, I’ve come away feeling like iPad is finally starting to hit a stride.

It’s no secret that Apple seriously needs to rethink the way the iPad lineup looks.

So we all know what happened back in 2020: Epic Games knowingly broke the terms and conditions of both the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store by linking out to an external payment processor, skirting the 30% fee that both Apple and Google take from all transactions on their stores.

Computer keyboards. Wait – aren’t they all “mechanical”? Well, sure they are, but there’s a special term that’s become prevalent in recent years to describe a particular type of keyboard sporting several factors that significantly distinguish them from the commonplace keeb sold for a buck or two at your local Goodwill, or that ships with a Dell computer, or even that is incorporated into your laptop.

Today I’m going to talk about the Android apps that I use most often on my device or along side of my device. These are apps that I highly recommend to others to use for various reasons.

Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. When it comes to the two major players in the market,…

I’ve often been asked over the years, how did you get interested in tech? Since I was just asked yesterday by someone, I decided what better way to answer that question than with a blog post.
