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, …

Let’s Try this Again

Here we go again. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve started and then subsequently stopped (or, really, didn’t even start) trying to be more consistent with writing and posting to this site. But I need to do this. It may only be a post every month or two, but I need to …
