Review: CPLAY2AIR Wireless CarPlay Adapter

For a couple years, I’ve been reading more and more about wireless CarPlay. In general, the less I can have things dependent on wires or cables the better.  Of course, we’re not really talking about going wireless in most instances – Qi charging is just shifting the wire to a stationary object vs. plugging it …

Unexpected ‘Speed’ Run

Well, I didn’t expect that! Lately my running has been pretty sporadic. I always find the change of seasons to be an annoying time to run, especially Winter to Spring. The wind picks up, there’s usually a lot of wet pavement and grass from melting snow, and the temperature fluctuates wildly. Overall, I actually prefer …

PointerPointer

Came across this goofy little pointless site (see what I did there?) on Jim Dalrymple’s wonderful the Loop, and it gives me all kinds of joy. The pictures are great, the idea is nonsensical, and the technology behind it is pretty intense. Or so I assume. I really don’t have any idea exactly how this …

Being Proactive

I’m generally pretty laid back. I wouldn’t consider myself lazy, but I suppose I can see how some people may throw that label at me. I don’t think it’s entirely fair – it’s just that with a lot of things, I prefer to take a wait and see approach. You know, if it ain’t broke, …

How have I never written about Ted Lasso? Now’s not really the time for a deep dive on the show, but I just wanted to say how happy I am that Jason Sudekis won a Golden Globe for “Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series” tonight! If you haven’t watched Ted Lasso, do …

Going to the Dark Side

A few weeks ago I decided to try this whole Intermittent Fasting thing, as part of an overall goal to lose some weight. I decided to go with the 16-8 system (or probably closer to 15-9 due to my slacking with a late night tea). Regardless, this post isn’t entirely about that. Part of the …

Every now and then (ok, it’s been a while!), I like to drop a note about a project I’ve worked on. Well, it’s that time again, and I am extremely proud to have been a part of launching IDQuickly.com! We’ve spent a lot of time putting this together as a quick, easy, private solution for …

Mini-Review: HomePod mini

That’s not just a clever title! Almost since it launched, I’ve had a HomePod (actually a couple) in the house, and the family has embraced all it offers. Whether it’s just randomly playing a song that comes to mind, shuffling through playlists or Apple Music Stations (go Canadian Classics Radio!), or asking Siri to turn …

Review: More Taters (YES!) Please

Wow! Sure, this site is supposed to be about design, development and running. But why do you think I run? Cause I love food! And one thing I’ve really grown to love is Poutine! OK, yes, no doubt Poutine is terrible for you. I don’t see it as a core part of any diet plans. …

Checking in with Android

As a web and app developer, I have to be familiar with all major platforms. While I use Apple products for developing and personal use, I also have a PC and Android devices for testing. Until recently, my Android test device was an aging cheap plastic hunk of junk that I picked up for less …
