iPad Mini: The Best Kindle

It’s not perfect, but the iPad mini (6th generation) is pretty-much the perfect Kindle for me. Sure, the Kindle – or any eBook reader for that matter – beats an iPad when it comes to battery life, use in direct sunlight, and for being waterproof. And of course those are very important things… some of …

Apple Vision Pro

Let’s just get all this out of the way: OK? Everyone Happy? Great. Let me tell you though, that after using Apple Vision Pro for 10 days or so, I’m very much interested in it as it is, and its future potential. I’m not going to bother going into specs, or what’s in the box, …

My Mach E(h) Experiences

My last post talked about how I bought an EV, and I would be detailing my experiences under a different domain (macheh.ca) Since then, I haven’t added anything here, and instead have written a few articles over there. At the time, I thought it would be good for SEO or Branding or whatever to keep …

I Bought an EV!

Continuing with my love of tech and overspending, I’m now the proud owner of a Ford Mustang Mach E! While this actual purchase came together fairly quickly, I have been low-key (do people say that anymore?) wanting an EV for several years. And while I’ve only owned the car for about 6 hours so far, …

Appreciating Apple Watch Band Longevity

As I swapped out the band today on my Apple Watch Ultra to my original ‘Developer’ blue sport band, I was struck by what a nice, but simple thing it is that Apple has maintained compatibility with watch bands for over 8 years. In a world of ‘planned obsolescence’ and tons and tons of e-waste, …

Concert List

A recent social media post (see below) making the rounds has made me think about all the concerts I’ve been to. My memory sucks, but as of now, this list is what I can remember. But first, here’s my ‘best and worst’ list based on the post that inspired this: 1. First Concert – Public …

Beats Fit Pro Review

Beats Fit Pro are not AirPods. But that’s not a slight. It’s not necessarily praise either. They’re just different. And I love them both for what they are good at. First, there’s no point in beating around the bush: AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) are better in almost every single aspect. If you have the money, …

Day 1

Of course this is cliché. Another New Year’s Day post promising change! A New Workout Routine! A New Me! Out with the old, in with the new! Yadda yadda. Been there, done that. This isn’t one of those, and yet, of course, it is. I’m 48. Soon to be 49. My previous plan of running …

iPad Air from a ‘Pro’ Perspective

Maybe it’s some sort of lame existential crisis. Maybe it’s getting older and being more frugal. Maybe it’s just the ‘shiny new’ (to me) factor. Maybe it’s because it’s BLUE! Or maybe it’s none – or all – of the above.  Whatever it is, I absolutely love the iPad Air 5th generation. By some definitions …

Review: Wopet Smartphone Automated Pet Feeder

Like most cats, our cat is part adorable, part pain in the ass.  And there’s no bigger ‘pain in the ass time’ than that time of morning that’s too early to be awake, but once you’re awake, too early to fall back asleep for any shut eye of any value. In addition to that, our …
