I recently was approached to write a review of the PI DOCK iT Air iPad case with bluetooth keyboard. Given that I have had a keyboard case for every iPad I’ve owned (except my current one) I was willing to give it a try. I find that using a case can certainly increase my productivity […]

My continuing experience with glass
It’s been a few months with Google glass, and while it is interesting, I am still not overly impressed with the tech. The idea is fantastic, but the implementation of applications so far is less than impressive. Given that it is beta, I know things can only get better; however, I am starting to feel […]
Technology and Politics
I try not to talk politics in my public comments, but those of you who know me, know that I have an opinion. Recently I saw two decisions from our Supreme Court which taken together left me a bit perplexed. The first one is Aereo, in this ruling I believe that the Supreme Court has […]
May 12th Triangle Mac users group meeting.
Meeting for a computer group at an Irish pub is a great idea… Unless you want to hear. The over all noise in the pub wouldn’t be bad for all speakers, but some of the presenters were not loud enough, and many of the attendees could not hear. The topics are office in the cloud. […]

Early early impressions of google glass
I received my google glass order yesterday and was excited to open the box. When it tried to start it up, it appeared that the battery was in a state of deep discharge. After two calls to tech support, I was able to get it to charge and right before I went to bed, it […]
Continuing to explore CoreData
A few weeks back I was at MacWorld where I talked to the people at APRESS to see what books they may have on CoreData. They had one that seemed to be pretty good and I have picked it up. The book is called Pro Core Data for iOS: Data Access and Persistence Engine for […]
