Hemingwrite Kickstarter and the promise of distraction-free writing

Hemingwrite Kickstarter and the promise of distraction-free writing

Dec 11, 2014

As a professional writer, the new Hemingwrite Kickstarter certainly caught my eye. Its tagline is “A Distraction Free Digital Typewriter,” which certainly has its appeal. I can speak from both my own personal and extended social experiences with fellow writers that the collective we often like to romanticize the concept of...

A quick look back on the Sony PlayStation’s 20th Anniversary

A quick look back on the Sony PlayStation’s 20th Anniversary

Dec 7, 2014

Inspired by my colleague’s video of his thoughts on the Sony PlayStation‘s 20th anniversary, I thought I would share my own remembrances. The original PlayStation console was released on December 3, 1994, in Japan, and in the US on September 9, 1995. While it was on the latter date that I...

Lack of class from the AT&T Trade-in Program

Nov 4, 2014

Having recently upgraded my wife’s iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus on AT&T, we were able to take advantage of the AT&T Trade-in Program. Normally, we go through trade-in services like Gazelle or sell through eBay, but in this case the trade-in value was higher than Gazelle‘s and (presumably)...

The wearables and fitness and sleep tracking dilemma

The wearables and fitness and sleep tracking dilemma

Oct 31, 2014

As a long-time technology and fitness enthusiast, I’m the perfect target for what is now becoming an avalanche of devices designed to help us be healthier, track our sleep patterns, and give us all kinds of purportedly useful data about our general state of being.

Why I’m switching back to the iPhone from Android

Why I’m switching back to the iPhone from Android

Oct 25, 2014

If you don’t know me well, let me make one thing clear right off the bat. I don’t care one iota for platform wars, fanboys, or any other designation or term that indicates a strong bias for one platform over another for “reasons.” Bottom line, I use what I like,...
