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, …

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, …

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 …

Review: Yay AirTag Arrived! … umm, now what?

It’s one of the most bizarre Apple products I’ve ever purchased. The best way I can think of AirTag is that it’s a product you hope you never need. And that’s about it. You buy it, set it up with the now-standard Apple way of pairing and adding new things to your account (that is, …

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 …

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. …

Review: AirPods Pro

Seriously. Get a pair of these now. Yes, they are expensive. But wow – they’re awesome! When I first got the original AirPods, and realized just how annoying wires are, I knew I’d never go back to regular ear buds. It’s amazing how many times I’d catch a wire on something and have them ripped …

Review: Beats Solo 3 Wireless Headphones

I know Beats headphones allegedly don’t provide the best sound quality according to people who supposedly know these things. But as someone who’s had a few different pairs for a few different purposes, I don’t really care. I like they way they look, sound, and fit my lifestyle. They work for me – an average …
